What does non diet fitness coaching look like?
If you've ever wondered what kind of experience an anti diet fitness coach provides, I got you.
When we work together, I do:
✅ Meet you right where you’re at, and build programs that are progressive, challenging, and specific to your goals and needs
✅ Support your development of a regular exercise routine, but also honoring the rest you need
✅ Break down your ‘why’ for exercising and get clear on the way diet culture has shaped your relationship with movement
✅Check in via text and phone each week to dig deeper on ANY issue shared that’s affecting your health
✅Provide feedback on form and proper exercise technique
✅Give you support in gentle nutrition if you need it (what’s what when it comes to fat, fiber, protein-education without rules)
✅Support your journey with Intuitive Eating
Things I DON’T do when we work together:
🚫Take measurements, weight, or ask for before or after pics
🚫Put you on a meal ‘plan’ or ‘program’
🚫Teach you hacks to eat less or curb hunger with anything other than food
🚫Give you a generic workout plan that does little more than get you sweaty
🚫Equate weight loss or gain with health
🚫Leave you not knowing why you’re doing the exercises you’re doing
I’m an anti-diet fitness trainer- that does NOT mean I’m anti PEOPLE who diet. It’s the system I have a problem with- not the humans who are influenced by it.
In fact, many of my clients are either on one or have tried many before they come to me. They’re just ready to get off the diet train and need support.

Coach
Growing up I was a half-hearted athlete who struggled with my relationship with both food and exercise. I smoked for over a decade and spent much of my youth either binging or not eating at all. But after breaking my leg in a car accident, months of physical rehab and years of psychological counseling lead me to a renewed appreciation for my health and my ability to just move-something I'll never take for granted again. I overcame a lot and have spent much of my life sharing what I've learned. I became a NASM personal trainer over 16 years ago. The type of clients I've trained and my own personal interests lead me to attain many other certifications. These include Sports Specific and Orthopedic exercise specializations, Pre and Post Natal exercise, MMA conditioning, and ACE Mind Body Specializations. I've taken 2 TRX qualifying courses in general and functional fitness. I am Kettlebell certified through both NETA and Kettlebell Kings, also completing an independent study facilitated by Steve Cotter, founder of the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation. I am also a certified Animal Flow Instructor. In the fall of 2021, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Facilitator, as IE was integral to my own ability to divest from diet culture. I think this was the missing piece to be able to put together a holistic, meaningful training program for all my clients.
