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.
Is the fitness industry saturated? Since I entered the online health and fitness industry in 2014 to now, the answer to this question in the broadest sense has been yes and no. I will ask my favorite question and the answer is undeniable. If the answer is yes, the online health and fitness industry is […]
“Track your numbers” is an extremely broad piece of advice for any entrepreneur – be it online or in person. Though it’s broad, it remains solid advice. Let’s dive into what the frick it actually means for you, what it can do for you and why it matters. A few things can begin to happen […]
Struggling to prioritize your training as your business grows is normal. Many of us enter health and fitness careers through our own personal love for the process.

The enticing promise of being a digital nomad, working in the online space, and specifically working for. yourself is FREEDOM. But […]
Do you need a certification before starting an online health + fitness biz? Health and fitness coaching in the online space is largely, and unfortunately, unregulated. It can feel like people with no education or certifications are putting out health and fitness content, and charging people for programs…And that’s because they are. But that doesn’t […]
It can feel like health and fitness professionals in the online space have all been sold the narrative of sales calls or bust from business gurus “coaching coaches.” If you’re new here, I don’t use, have never used and don’t preach the use of sales calls. So I bring you Sales Page 101. Sales calls […]
2020 and the pandemic that came with it, trainers were pressed to explore the online space even if they planned to stay in person for the long run.
