Prior to my life as a personal trainer I was overweight, out of shape and completely unhealthy. I smoked, drank and gave little attention to my health & well being. I was a hypocrite who graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Health & Physical Education yet lived a life of overindulgences and unhealthy behavior. However, my life was dramatically changed when I found out I was pregnant AND my father was diagnosed with Colon cancer within months of eachother. My father was the last person I ever thought would be diagnosed with cancer. He wasn't overweight, sick or had any under lying health issues. You can imagine the news shocked my whole family. The possible loss of my father was devastating and the thought of letting my daughter be motherless too early scared the life out of me. I wanted to provide her with the best example of health & nutrition I possibly could and that meant changing everything.







... and money
will follow"
"Do what you love ...
From that day forward I began my life in health, wellness & fitness. I became obsessed and happily surrounded myself with all types of information ranging from advanced weight loss to competitive powerIifitng. I read, researched and practiced every workout routine and diet you can imagine. I am a firm believer in keeping an open mind to all types of training and/or eating regimens. To completely disregard one style of training or exercise without experiencing it first hand is doing yourself an injustice. I believe it limits your growth as an athlete and tapers your knowledge as a trainer.
With experience working with mothers, soldiers & fitness competitors, I am qualified to customize programs tailored to meet your individual needs. I believe passionately in the balance of strength, mobility and diet to achieve a sustainable healthy lifestyle. I focus on motivating and educating my clients on managing their nutrition & strengthening their bodies for longevity. My goal as a trainer is that you are knowledgeable enough to continue your fitness activity independently with confidence and experience.
Growing up, my mother always told me " Heidi, do what you love, and money will follow". There are many values my parents instilled in me however one that resonated strongly into adulthood was this quote. I have always tried to live by these words and pursue a career in my passion. I feel fortunate enough to say that I am doing something I love to do. However my journey to this career was unexpected.
