I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
In episode number two I give you three things you can apply TUH-DAY in order to improve your strength training. And ideally get better results. This is an episode for trainers, AND trainees alike. Anyone who uses weights as a way to improve their body from a physical and functional standpoint will benefit from this […]
I don’t remember how we came to know about Foz Do Iguacu. But once we saw photos of it, we decided to tack it on to our Cusco, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu trip on our way to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil from Arequipa, Peru. Now, let me set the stage for you. The photos you […]
Staying in Aguas Calientes We opted to stay in Aguas Calientes for three full days, one of which was our Machu Picchu Trek. Yes I say trek. It was not a tour, we were alone, and it was five hours of hiking up hill. You’ll see. WORTH IT though. As for Aguas Calientes. We were […]
From Cusco you could spend four separate days doing day tours to various attractions. You’d also be picked up at 3:30am every day and return at 5pm each night. This is why we decided to choose ONE tour. Our choices were Rainbow Mountain, Lake Humantay and Sacred Valley. Having met several travelers in Arequipa who […]
What to do in Cusco Cusco’s main square is where it’s at. It is gorgeous, especially on a day like when these photos were taken. This is a short one. Because to be honest, we just went to Cusco to acclimate for Machu Pacchu, do a tour or two, and move on to Aguas Calients […]
This is my rendition of the Colca Canyon two day trek. Don’t let the smile fool you… When you research Arequipa Peru or things to do in Peru, Colca Canyon hike will inevitably come up as one of the suggested “activities.” While the Andes Mountains are gorgeous, and the overall experience is probably “worth it;” […]
I first caught a glimpse of Huacachina on Bronte’s Instagram (Australian girl who we met on day one in Arequipa). She posted a pic, I said “yo, where is this, I need to go there.” And she gave me all the deets. One week later we were off. We went from Arequipa to the tiny […]
Arequipa is a small mountain town in Peru that has a temperature of 72-77, amazing gastronomy, and the kindest people in the world. Nate and I lived here for one month between June and July. Despite our feelings while flying in – dry desert surrounding, and what looked to be shanty housing – Arequipa stole […]

Ankle mobility is a problem for A LOT of people. Most of my clients do not pass the ankle mobility assessment when starting out. You should be able to touch your knee to the wall while keeping your entire foot (heel) in the ground with your big toe 4.5 inches from the wall, one ankle […]
