Why I Became a Coach

After years of training women, I kept noticing something nobody in the
fitness industry wanted to talk about.

It wasn’t the workouts that were failing people. It was the way they thought about themselves. The self-doubt. The all-or-nothing mindset. The voice that said, “I’ve tried this before, and it didn’t work.” The quiet belief that somewhere along the way, the window had closed, and it was too late to
change.

That’s what sent me back to school.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and became a
Licensed Clinical Social Worker because I needed to understand what was
actually getting in the way — not just prescribe a better program. Now I get
to do both. I help women get physically stronger and help them dismantle the thinking that has been stopping them for years. That combination — body and mind together — is why the changes actually stick.

A Little About Me Outside the Gym

I also work part-time at a perinatal mental health center at Barnabas
Health, supporting postpartum women through some of the hardest
chapters of their lives. What I’ve learned in both settings is the same thing:
when you help someone believe they’re capable of more, everything
changes.

I like to challenge myself in every area of my life. I’ve competed in the New York City Marathon twice, done Spartan races, and stepped into acting and modeling. I also create content around fitness and mindset for women who are done being told that getting older means slowing down. I love being with my family, traveling, and keeping life genuinely interesting.

I don’t believe getting older means disappearing. I believe it’s an opportunity most women haven’t been permitted to take yet — and helping them take it is some of the best work I’ve done.

But the best role of all was raising my three children, who have grown into
wonderful adults.
