I have over 24 years of experience as a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor, including 15 years managing the fitness and wellness class program at a major hospital in Chicago. While I've worked with many healthy and fit individuals, my true passion lies in helping those who need more personalized care, particularly those dealing with chronic health issues or injuries, chronic pain and anxiety. I've worked with clients after a stroke, with Alzheimer’s, after joint replacement surgery and spinal surgery, with fibromyalgia, and after having a baby to name a few. My journey into Sound Healing began in 2010 at a work conference with the Cleveland Clinic. After experiencing a stroke in 2015, I became dedicated to finding methods to support my own healing. In 2022, I discovered an accessible Sound Healer certification program, and I knew this was the path I needed to take not only for my own healing but also to better support my clients. During the summer of 2024, I completed a meditation certification and started a 200 hour Yoga certification program. My goal is to expand my reach, helping people through my personal training classes, wellness programs, and sound healing  while also supporting my family. I donate my time to support stroke survivors with sound healing and exercise, through the non-profit organization Stroke Buddies. Check out my videos on Stroke Buddies:
