I’m a hybrid athlete, ultramarathon runner, weightlifter, and exercise physiologist with a PhD in Exercise Metabolism and Female Physiology. My passion is helping runners, lifters, and endurance athletes—especially women—train smarter, get stronger, and reach big, scary goals.
I combine strength training and endurance training to help everyday people perform their best in the gym, on the road, and on the trails. Whether you’re chasing your first ultramarathon finish, building lifting strength without sacrificing your running, or navigating training through different phases of life as a woman, I provide the evidence-based guidance you need.
My coaching is rooted in honest education, years of research, and real-world experience. I believe in no-nonsense, straightforward, science-backed training that works—so you can face your fears, chase big goals, and celebrate exactly what your body is capable of.
At TLM, we want you to have a say in what fitness looks like for you. With 160+ different possible program combinations, you can always train in a way that makes sense for you.
