I am a NASM Certified Flexibility and Stretching Coach with over 10 years of experience in health and wellness. My background combines education in Kinesiology (OCC) and Psychology (UCI) with extensive hands-on work in movement, rehabilitation, and flexibility training.
My passion for movement began early through cheerleading, gymnastics, jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing, which sparked a lifelong dedication to movement, flexibility, and overall well-being.
My professional experience includes working as a Physical Therapy Aide in outpatient orthopedics and at a nonprofit supporting adults with severe disabilities. I later worked and led a team in specialized stretch centers, focusing on assisted stretching. Earlier in my career, I worked as a personal trainer and kickboxing instructor, helping clients improve strength, mobility, and overall performance.
I’ve also volunteered with the NAMI Helpline, providing support to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges, and as a Compassionate Listener at MemorialCare Hospital, offering comfort and companionship to patients.
With a strong foundation in both physical and mental aspects of wellness, I am dedicated to helping people move, feel, and live better through personalized flexibility and movement programs.
