My Philosophy of Care
If you’ve ever left a fitness space feeling smaller in spirit (even if you were “supposed” to feel proud), you’re who I’m here for.
My philosophy starts with Make Peace With Rest: if your nervous system is fried and you’re exhausted, more hustle is not the answer. From there, we build movement as a form of care, not penance. I’m interested in how you feel in your body—your strength, energy, comfort, confidence—not in what you weigh or how “disciplined” you look on paper.
My work is trauma-informed, size-inclusive, and explicitly anti-coercive. You’re the expert on your body; my role is to bring curiosity, skills, and options—not judgment or pressure. Together we notice your body’s signals, honor your capacity (including the need for rest), and co-create movement and self-care practices that fit your real life.
You are the expert on your body. My role is to offer options, context, and support—not to override your instincts. Being HAES®-aligned, for me, means challenging grind culture and anti-fat bias while centering autonomy, consent, and emotional safety in every session.

About Me & My Practice
As a lifelong athlete and a (small) fat woman, I’ve spent decades in and around gyms navigating the tension between loving movement and feeling alienated by the culture around it. I became a NASM-certified personal trainer and non-diet coach not to fix bodies, but to create a space where people could reconnect with theirs—on their own terms.
My practice is coaching-forward. I’m not here to count reps; I’m here to help you untangle the stories, rules, and fears that have made movement feel so loaded. I offer 1:1 coaching + personal training for folks who want guided, body-neutral workouts, and coaching-only for those who want support with intuitive movement, intuitive eating, and body image.
I work online, primarily with women and nonbinary folks. In every format, my goal is the same: to help you build a relationship with movement (and yourself) that is flexible, respectful, and sustainable.
In our work together, you can expect collaborative goal-setting, flexible programming, and lots of permission to “come as you are.” Some days that looks like strength training; other days it’s gentle movement, coaching, or honoring that your body truly needs rest.
Outside of work, I’m obsessed with walking around my beloved city of Chicago, dancing to Beyoncé, and going to drag shows. #ProtectQueerArt🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Accessibility Considerations
My practice is fully online, which removes many traditional physical barriers (equipment limits, gym access, transportation). Sessions are held virtually, and movement can be adapted to whatever space, tools, and capacity you have available—even if that’s a chair and a few feet of floor.
I design sessions with fluctuating pain, energy, focus, and sensory needs in mind. We’ll agree on a clear structure together, build in breaks as needed, and adjust intensity or format in real time. You never have to “push through” to please me; it’s always okay to slow down, pause, or shift into a more coaching-based session if that’s what your body needs that day.
All services are size-affirming, queer-affirming, trauma-informed, and aligned with Health at Every Size® principles. I welcome feedback and specific access requests and will collaborate with you to create the safest, most supportive container we can—within the scope of an online coaching and training practice.
