About Us

---

I discovered my passion for fitness coaching at a young age through USA Powerlifting as a drug-free athlete. My older sister, Katie, inspired me to start lifting weights. Throughout her high school career, Katie dropped nearly sixty pounds with effective nutrition guidance and became the first female athlete from our town to win an IPF World Powerlifting Championship. Encouraged by my coach, I began my journey into personal training, fell in love with the community, and since then, I've been hooked!

My dedication to the sport of powerlifting has led to many accomplishments, including becoming a four-time State, National, and International World Powerlifting Champion in the 48, 52, and 57 kilogram weight classes. My current best lifts include a 430 pound squat, a 205 pound bench, and a 405 pound deadlift. In addition to traveling the globe, I have served as an outstanding role model for many athletes, demonstrating the importance of fitness coaching. My performance allowed me to be among the first class of female athletes inducted into the Wisconsin High School Powerlifting Association’s Hall of Fame. I also competed as an NPC Bikini Athlete and participated in the Arnold Sports Festival in the Pro-Deadlift Competition. In addition to my athletic achievements, I earned my USAPL State Referee, USAPL Club Coach, TRX, and Frederick Stretch Therapist Certifications. This dedication to fitness eventually led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer and CPR Certified through World Instructor Training Schools and ACE, where I provide personal training and nutrition guidance to my clients. I have many years of experience working with clients one-on-one, as well as group training as an Orangetheory Certified Coach. Outside of coaching, I spend most of my time working at an outpatient clinic as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, providing direct patient care and evaluating musculoskeletal, neurological, and other physical problems.
