Sometimes clients (or their loved ones) feel lost when reintegrating sport/fitness training back into their life when recovering from an eating disorder, being side-lined to injury, navigating the transition out of competitive athletics, or after facing painful experiences within athletic settings.

I understand that each athlete has a unique story when it comes to their experiences of movement. I meet athletes exactly where they are at to help lead them through the nuances of the fitness world with kindness, support and empowerment.

I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and size-inclusive coaching environment to best support athlete’s unique challenges while working towards sport, movement and recovery goals.

Experience - I am a Lock Haven University graduate, with a master’s degree in Sport Science and Sport Psychology. I studied sport psychology to inform my fitness coaching and have supported athletes with eating disorders since 2006. For seven years, I was the strength and conditioning coach at The Victory Program, a residential eating disorder program for athletes. I directed the program for 1.5 years before shifting gears to private practice. I serve as the executive director of the Body Positive Fitness Alliance (BPFA, 501c3) and created the Therapeutic Exercise Alliance for Movement in eating disorders (TEAMed). Over the years, I gained a wide range of knowledge for this specialized population and found my true passion: helping individuals incorporate balanced & effective fitness practices into the recovery environment to achieve their sport/movement goals. I am committed to bridging the gap between research and practice and creating a network of knowledgeable coaches to collaborate with multidisciplinary treatment professionals. I am a former DIII athlete and completed a 50-day, self-supported cross-country bicycle tour.
