Body Boost, Body Ignite and Strides 360 Instructor and Body Well Coach

My first class was the Mother's Day celebration in 2017 when my second baby was 4 months old. I first started with Stroller Strides and then joined the July/August Body Back session and did two rounds before joining the membership program.

I then became an instructor in June 2018 because I immediately felt connected to the community, to the positivity, to the openness and flexibility that's so valuable as a mom juggling all the things. Come late, come while potty training, come with tears in your eyes because being a mom is difficult, come as you are.

I love seeing moms, especially new moms, find a renewed sense of energy, stamina and strength by spending a little time for herself, sweating, connecting and understanding that it's an investment in her well-being. Cheering on mamas finishing the mile is always exciting and emotional. I've also made so many friends while teaching and while taking classes myself. Seeing my youngest play with some of the same kids on Alki that she's known for most of her life is lovely.
