WHY DO I COACH:

I have a lot of passion for helping people move better, and making movement accessible to everyone. I like helping every person in class feel they are working hard and moving well, no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I love being able to provide scales, modifications and progressions of movements to help each person reach their goals.
