Aquatics
It began when I started at Masonic Village over 30 years ago. My passion has always been in helping others, and in doing so, I feel I have grown in the different dimensions of wellness as well. I have felt proudest anytime a member has mentioned that what I showed them helped them in one way or another, such as when a personal training client needs the lift to enter the pool at first and then progresses to entering and exiting the pool via the steps.

Strength training, balance and gait, functional movement and golf strengthening
I began this career instructing in a retirement community in Lititz and enjoyed helping the members become stronger and more balanced by exercising. I enjoy watching the progression with my clients and members of the classes I instruct. They are all an inspiration to me as to what I can continue to accomplish as I age myself. My personal wellness accomplishments include multiple medals and trophies for triathlons and running races.

Neurodegenerative disorders, including multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, running programs, nutrition, general fitness training and Yoga instructor.
Wellness became my passion during a personal battle that began when I was 18. I enjoy helping others because it fulfills me and I feel like we were put on this earth to help each other in some way. My personal wellness goals are to run in a 100 mile race before I’m 40 and just to stay happy and grateful for my health and what I have. My proudest accomplishment related to fitness has been helping someone learn to walk again after years of being unable.

Aquatic group fitness
Everyone has a passion that drives them forward in life. My passion, simply put, is helping people to better themselves and make life a little simpler. This passion led me to a career in wellness. So far, through my aquatics classes, I have been able to help residents improve their overall strength, flexibility and balance. With time, I hope I am able to help more people.

Weight loss, special populations
Growing up, I was an avid swimmer. I swam for 18 years competitively, but when I was done after college, I did not know what to do with myself. I knew I wanted to help others and work in the fitness industry. This is where personal training came into play. I have been training for just about four years, and I have no plan of stopping soon! The fact I get to impact others within their fitness journey, while doing something I love is something I have always dreamed up. I completed my first Olympic distance triathlon this past summer, and my goal is to do an Iron Man before I turn 35!

B.S. in Exercise Science, MBA, Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Certified Yoga and Mediation Teacher
 Wellness Coaching for Weight Loss, Gentle Yoga, Chair Yoga and Yoga for Breast Cancer
My own wellness journey began with the spark of a health teacher in college, who challenged our class to “drop and adopt” – drop one unhealthy habit and adopt a new healthy one in its place. With that inspiration, I went on to lose over 40 pounds and found a passion for health and wellness and for helping others feel their best in body, mind and spirit. My best wellness advice is to stay grateful, keep moving as much as you can and BELIEVE in yourself! A personal goal of mine is to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail in every state and, maybe, the whole trail.
