Train well and live well through common sense and positive practice​

From designing a simple training plan that works for you and your priorities, to supporting your big goals, I am passionate about helping people make positive change to support physical fitness, nutrition and mental wellness. 
 My passion and expertise is in teaching people ‘how to train’. This starts with the plan, but includes helping build skills to train and race effectively, either on your own, within your current group, training program or lifestyle priorities. I encourage athletes to be honest about their definition of success and I work with them to discover and refine habits that make sense. While programming is a map towards goals, your well-being is critical for success. I will help you find a process and training that works for you and is sustainable in the long run. I believe that a strong body is only possible with a robust and thriving emotional state.

Because of my extensive background as a coach, educator, mother, professional athlete and having lived and breathed sport for a good 30 years of my life, I have strong empathy for all athletes and the skills to define what it takes to reach success at the individual level. There are three aspects to my personal style of coaching that seem to be the most helpful and beneficial to people:
  • Scheduling smart and progressive customized training plans that help people make the most of their time and energy, and that allows them to reach their goals.  
  • Offering support in life balancing and sport psychology to help people maximize their potential. This support often flows positively into all areas of the athlete’s life.  
  • Giving solid and useful technical and practical advice and constructive feedback about skills, equipment, racing and training that totally supports learning.
