Business Address: Uncharted Adaptive Fitness, located within CrossFit Liquid

Certifications: ​ATA Adaptive and Inclusive Trainer 

                         ​

Academic Coursework: Master's of Physical Therapy

                                         BS Health and Science Studies

                                       

I have worked as a physical therapist for over 20 years, much of that time focused on helping people recover from neurological injuries or conditions.  I've also worked extensively with people who have medically complex conditions, including developmental disorders. 

I joined a CrossFit gym in 2017 and learned to love the challenge of lifting a heavy barbell and trying new skills and movements.  In 2019, I took the Adaptive Training Academy's course and became a certified Adaptive and Inclusive Trainer.  This approach to fitness combined the things I love about my career as a PT and the challenge of CrossFit into a model that allows everyBODY access to exercise.  

The goal of Uncharted Adaptive Fitness is to provide both one-on-one training and eventually small group classes to build a strong community of support for those facing the challenges of neurological and complex medical conditions including developmental disabilities. 

I'm excited to help adaptive athletes, who believe their path is UNCHARTED, navigate a path to functional fitness!

At a young age, I have been involved in various sports, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of staying physically active. However, it was during an internship at a physical therapy clinic that I truly grasped the significance of rehabilitation for different client populations. This experience ignited my curiosity about the health benefits of exercise. After college, my interest in personal training blossomed, and I found fulfillment in guiding individuals through their fitness journeys. Over the past three years, I have adopted a holistic approach to training, prioritizing learning my clients' needs and goals, and striving to help them be 1% better each day.
