I’m a (deep breath) trainer, nutritionist, chef and CBT practitioner in Boston. I work with an extremely broad range of clients from professional athletes, to first responders, to chefs and expecting Moms, to my own Mom. I coach 1 on 1, teach cooking classes, lead corporate seminars, and offer easy-to-follow online programs that you can do on your own watch from anywhere. 

My ideal clients are 10/10 committed to the process, meaning you are “all in”. Loving food and restaurants is an added bonus. 

While I understand we do not all live in Boston, all of my programs are designed to deliver results regardless of age or skill level. 

Here’s the catch: 

You need to Show up. This means you do NOT need to be the best OR perfect. You simply have to be engaged! 

Accountability Be careful what you wish for. In coaching we create approachable timelines, strategies, and tools and get sh*t done! 

Efficiency is Key My programs are designed pragmatically. While we can spend hours in the gym or kitchen, it is not realistic or sustainable. 

Training should be fun. If you hate it,  you won’t do it. This is a team effort. While I’m pretty good at reading body language by now, you’re not hurting my feelings IN THE SLIGHTEST if I’ve missed the mark. Let’s make it werrrk! 

Own your “Why” If it’s to ‘get abs’ or ‘fit into a dress’ it will fluctuate and fleet. It’s important to know that grounds us and what pushes us. To me, fitness and food is a way to honor and celebrate the life we’ve been given. It’s humbling and teaches us lessons. It doesn’t have to be physical all the time. Take the time to show some self compassion and investigate your “why”!

More about me (ideally narrated by Morgan Freeman).

LET'S GET STARTED

My programs are pragmatic yet meticulous. We can thank my years in competitive cheerleading, gymnastics, marathon running, MMA, yoga, pilates, and kettlebells for this. Through applied practices & academia, I've compiled how to see hypertrophic (toned) results in a fraction of the time.

Sidenote, as an ANBF and NPC Bodybuilder it was pretty cool to be viewed as ridiculously ripped but it was not cool to spend every waking moment counting calories. Spending 2+ hours in the gym didn’t add up either. As a trainer who wanted to give back, times demanded efficiency! 

My programs consistently consider the following variables: 

Safety: If you get injured, we’re both out of commission.

Compliance: Will you actually follow this? I’ve seen some pretty wacky movements on the internet. Don’t worry, I won’t have you cawing like a bird or doing splits unless there is science to back it! 

Results: I’m a straight shooter. You might like some exercises more than others but the programs are written intentionally. All  exercises are chosen with your goals in mind.
