​
A Little About Me..
I am 33 years old and live in Richmond, Virginia with my husband and 2 fur babies!
I am an Olympic Weightlifter and Powerlifter as well as an intuitive eater - meaning that I listen to my body to fuel it properly & effectively based on my level of activity and needs.
I LOVE coffee, mushroom decor, the mountains, and traveling.
I am passionate about getting a barbell in every woman's hands, teaching you how to fuel your body properly to create the results you desire without diets or restriction, and helping you move well, get stronger & build muscle without pain.
