What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I asked my daughter this question and she answered, “because you love it”!
I love it because being a competitive athlete can be difficult and overwhelming. There are beautiful things about training sports at the elite level, but athletes also deal with fear, fatigue, confusion about what to eat, and tricks that our mind plays on us, shaking our confidence and our commitment. Sometimes these challenges keep us from reaching our true potential and, even more importantly, from truly enjoying our sport.
I help athletes become the best athletes they possibly can, learning how to fuel their bodies and their minds by mastering their emotions and thought processes. The new philosophy we create together and the habits they build are total game-changers!

About me
I am an Olympic gymnast, Certified Nutritional Coach, Mental Coach, and Creator of Let’s Be Fit Today and The Powerful Athlete.
During my 12-year career as a competitive gymnast, I faced and overcame many obstacles including leaving home when I was 12, a fall from bars where I broke four bones, and an eating disorder. I did my personal best at the Seoul 88 Olympics and retired the day after.
My husband is a two-time Olympic swimmer who is a Supply Chain expert. We have 4 awesome children. Three of them practice competitive sports, including our son who is in D1 college swimming.
I use unconventional teaching and coaching systems including engaging activities to create Aha moments with my 1:1 clients as well when delivering presentations and workshops in business settings and for schools and sports teams. -
