I’m a multi-passionate big goal chaser. I have my Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology. I researched female health, metabolism, and exercise. I have put my years of studying exercise science, weight-lifting, and running ultra marathons into developing training programs that helps you crush your big goals too.
Everything I do comes from my love of the potential of our human body. Today, I help others train hard to live bigger lives. In an industry focused on just lifting or just cardio, I am on a mission to help all people achieve their hybrid training fitness goals – on their terms.
You CAN have it all. Welcome to hybrid-style training on YOUR terms.

Are you frustrated with all of the conflicting fitness information you hear today? It’s a lot; I get it. It shouldn’t be complicated to want to learn how to make running suck less, to learn how to set up a lifting plan that sets you up to reach your goals, to learn how to fuel your body correctly, or to want to learn how to combine lifting and running.
I know your frustrations, my friend. This frustration is why I took all the science of exercise and sports nutrition I’ve spent over a decade learning and put them into easily digestible ebooks and training programs for you! Check them out!
