Too often people skip proper strength training and choose less effective cardio based strength workouts or classes because the barrier to entry when it comes to proper and progressive strength training is higher. The weight room can be intimidating! I specialize in teaching my clients to lift, write strength training programs and help them to feel more comfortable and skilled in the weight room.

• 35 years of rehab, strength, fitness and healthcare experience as a registered Occupational Therapist, a certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor, Precision Nutrition & habit coach.

• I990 I started teaching group fitness classes at USC and I am currently at Life Time Athletics.

• 1993 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and worked as a hospital-based Occupational Therpaist, in physical rehabilitation, for many years. 

• 2010-2023 I owned and operated a small strength training studio in San clemente and created my Ladies That Lift program. An affordable, social and non-intimidating environment where women learned proper lifting and nutrition skills.

My fitness and OT experience has taught me to focus on and prioritize longevity. Weightlifting helps you build stronger muscles and bones, helps support hormones, metabolism and may help protect you from diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer and other chronic conditions.

One size does not fit all in regards to fitness and nutrition. As a wife, mom, employee and a business owner, I understand the struggles and the juggling that is required to balance life and prioritize yourself. That is why I meet you where you are at and we work together to build you a program that is appropriate for your needs, skills, finances and goals.
