My journey began in 2016 when I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme Disease after being told that my lengthy list of symptoms were all "normal" and "just part of aging." I refused to accept that gaining 50 pound virtually overnight, having zero energy, debilitating joint pain, and constant brain fog were normal. I met with every specialist and tried countless medications that only gave me side effects that required more meds. Eventually I found a balance between conventional treatments and alternative medicine that started me down the long road to recovery.


I believe that wellness is a delicate dance between the mind and the body. If one is off balance , then the other will be as well. I have experienced firsthand the transformative power of movement and mindfulness. Now I am committed to sharing these tools with others through pilates and personalized health coaching. I want to empower others to become experts in their own health. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, recovering from an injury, or simply aiming for vitality I would love to guide you along the way.
