WHY I BECAME A TRAINER AT FIT BUDDHA:

My passion is to help each person find their own unique balance of physical and mental wellbeing. I am committed to providing an environment to empower each person to reach their health and fitness goals.

In 2019, I stumbled into my first Lagree Fitness class in LA. That day changed my life! After I injured my back in a car accident in 2007, I never thought I would find a workout I could do again without pain. The slow controlled movements with a focus on form and strength training allowed me to strengthen my core and over time significantly reduce my daily pain! I knew after my first class that I wanted to share this foundation with others. In January 2020, I taught my first Lagree class and feel incredibly blessed by the connections I continue to find with each client.

3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:

I love empowering each client to find their own mind-body connection to push themselves one step further than they thought they could go. Each class will be tailored to different fitness levels and modified for individual needs. I provide personalized feedback to clients during the class, offering tips for improvement and celebrating individual milestones.

MY MOTTO IN LIFE:

Encourage everyone to embrace life’s challenges! I strive to be a source of positivity and inspiration, and let others know that I believe in their ability to overcome obstacles and thrive.

MY FAVORITE MEGA-MOVE:

Anything CORE-related makes me smile!

FAVORITE SONG TO WORK OUT TO:
