I’m known for my fun music-led workouts and upBEat personality. My mission is to help YOU find the JOY in your journey. A zero-fad approach to fitness is my jam. But it wasn’t always this way…
I was a professional ballroom dancer for years. You’ve seen Dancing with the Stars, right? Yep, that was pretty much my life. But I became totally unhappy, and decided to leave the industry. After a rough few years of figuring out what to do next, I gained more than 25 kilos (50 pounds!) and lost my identity, passion, and purpose. I went from one extreme to the next in my relationship with food and fitness, and I felt so unaligned.
But after a lot of little revelations (and one serendipitous trip back to the dance studio), I realized that movement is supposed to bring us joy. So I began doing the work to feel more in tune with my body. At the time I didn’t know my personal process to getting back to my full potential would become what’s now the methods I teach at Up to the Beat in my Zero2Thrive 30 Day challenges.
I had to go through that unbalance to find balance again. And that lived experience helps me relate to the women I serve every day. I show them that it’s more about your state of being than a number on the scale. I’m passionate about showing women that their fitness journey can look however they want it to
— but whatever it looks like, it should feel good!
