From an early age I was fascinated with the human body, equally amazed by its resiliency and ability to do what seemed impossible. In my adult life I have explored the spectrum of a healthy and not-so healthy lifestyle and through these experiences have gained strength and learned to trust in myself and my bodys intuition. The birth of my first child was a turning point in my dedication to fitness and nutrition from an on-again/off-again practice to an all-encompassing lifestyle. After discovering and nurturing a way of life devoted to movement, balance, and nourishment, it gives me great joy to share with others what I have learned, so that they too may unlock their true potential in health and fitness.

I’ve always enjoyed being active, especially outside, and have enjoyed the trails and open spaces of our beautiful state of Colorado for the past 20 years. In 2007 I achieved my goal and dream of running the Boston Marathon, by training one step at a time. From that experience I know that consistent and persistent training, along with focusing on good nutritional habits, are what fuels my success as well as my personal wellbeing. Finding Kaia FIT in 2015 was momentous for me, allowing me to connect with a wonderful community of women, an excellent coaching staff, and to be able to have the time to be a Mom AND enhance my fitness! I’m excited to be part of the awesome coaching staff at Kaia FIT Lafayette and to encourage women of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds to treat themselves to a holistic, individualized, and supportive full-body wellness program!

My relationship with health and fitness began after I had my second child. As a stay-at-home mom I started attending fitness classes as a way to get out of house and socialize. A pleasant result of this was the more I exercised the better I felt, both mentally and physically. After having my third child I found KaiaFIT, and that is when my love of health and fitness really grew. Throughout my own journey of gaining confidence in my body and myself, I found my passion is to help others do the same.

I began a career in fitness after participating in several triathlons and realizing how much joy it brought to my life. I wanted to help other women find their inner athlete at any age or size. As a Colorado native and busy mom of 3 I love being outside and being active with my family. I fell in love with Kaia because of the accessibility to every woman and the supportive community. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.
