Updated infographic as I add more specialized credentials and further hone in on my mission as a health & wellness professional 🙏🏼

Working with populations often overlooked by the fitness industry is my greatest passion. Whether you are dealing with chronic illness or disease, chronic pain, mental health barriers to exercise, or are simply an adult over the age of 65, I see you and I promise you there is a way to move your body safely. As someone living with chronic illness I know what it’s like and I will never implement a one-size-fits-all approach. Despite what mainstream fitness culture likes to promote, we don’t always have control over our health just by exercising and eating well. But we can always find an approach that works for YOUR body.

Train with me and I’ll show you how!

I spent so long in the fitness industry wondering why I never felt like I could keep up and why I constantly had so many setbacks despite advanced and appropriate training technique. Turns out I’ve been operating with multiple chronic illnesses and the fitness space is overwhelmingly ill-equipped to support special populations.

If you’re looking for a personal trainer who knows what this feels like and is dedicated to continuing education around working with special populations, I’m your girl 📥

My work is deeply meaningful to me. And even though I’m facing my own setbacks right now, I will continue to make it my life’s mission to show others that they aren’t broken, they’re just missing the nervous system safety, support, and resources of qualified professionals.

Movement is medicine, but everyone needs a different dosage and prescription ❤️‍🩹

the most special part of my trip with my most special girl 🥹

London 🇬🇧

I’m not saying Spain won the World Cup because I was there, but I’m also not not saying that 🇪🇸

Barcelona & Mallorca

After almost 6 years, I’m taking a break from running @fullfocuswellness_ 🫶🏼

I have gotten a lot of questions as well as some outreach from new clients so I wanted to keep this update on my page.

I will be taking time off to prioritize myself, address chronic illness that I’ve pushed through with no answers (until now) for over 10 years, pursue continuing education, and realign my future work to better serve others.

I love my career and all of the wonderful people it has allowed me to meet. I have been beyond blessed with the most thoughtful clients and community. I’m looking forward to returning once I can pour from a full cup.

Ableism in the fitness industry is a topic close to my heart as a personal trainer who also has a chronic illness. ❤️‍🩹

This post is not meant to shame anyone who uses this language. I likely also unknowingly use ableist language as we are all often limited by our own lived experiences. However, all we can do is educate ourselves and be mindful of our words especially if you hold a position of authority in the wellness space.

I will always advocate for inclusivity in fitness and I love working with my clients to find safe ways of moving their bodies through any diagnosis.

life when you play dress up, finally get a diagnosis after 10+ years, & eat good 😌

after having to scale back training to take care of my body it feels good to be back and learning new skills around some good people 🏋🏻‍♀️

A hill I’m willing to die on: healthy meals made with whole foods don’t have to taste bad ‼️

Many processed foods have been chemically engineered to be addictive. This is done on purpose. Pair that with food insecurity, unequal access to healthy food in underserved communities, and a culture fueled by capitalism and you see that blame should have no place in the wellness industry. However, once we know what we’re up against we can begin to choose differently.

And no, you don’t have to starve yourself to see progress in the gym. Nourishing the body with homemade meals is one of my favorite acts of self-love and rebellion against a society encouraging women to be their smallest selves. Best believe we are staying fed around here 🍴

👋🏼 I wanted to re-introduce myself, but this time with authenticity and vulnerability because I still haven’t figured it all out

🦋 Mine is just one of the many stories both inside and outside of the fitness industry that is kept hidden. I have wondered what people will think of a personal trainer who keeps losing access to her own body. But now I see that my journey has made me more in touch with myself and my body than I could have ever imagined and helps me be a more attuned and sensitive trainer

🦋 I am sharing this in the hope of finding others aligned with an approach to health, strength, and wellness that doesn’t involve harsh metrics, overriding your body’s natural rhythm, and self-abandonment.

🦋 And I am sharing this as a true advertisement of what I have to offer as a trainer. A safe space to move your body, a guide for when you don’t feel you can, and to show you it’s possible to come back from anything.

🦋 I am so thankful for the people who have helped me carry my soul when it felt too heavy to move forward. I am particularly grateful to @shawnashakti for her somatic healing and recommend her to anyone looking to come home to themselves

Back with more nutritious meals & snacks that don’t taste like cardboard or take hours & obscure ingredients to make 🙌🏼

Eating to support your body and health doesn’t need to be complicated or taste bland. It’s about experimenting to find the foods & combinations you enjoy 🍓

If you feel frustrated with your nutrition and don’t know how to prepare food that tastes good and aligns with your health, you’re not alone. It’s time to DM me to learn about my 1:1 Nutrition Coaching services! 📥

had fun at the @ddktfitness launch today with outfits from @shopvitality 🧡

One of my clients brought this WSJ article to my attention recently and so I had to do my favorite activity of getting worked up about a topic and then analyze and write about it 🤓

Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer @leahbarron_nyc weighed in since the original article forgot to ask any RDs!

I wrote a full blog post response to the article which you can find on my website at fullfocuswellness.net under “Blog”

Please eat your protein 🍗 🙏🏼

When @herculisa1 & @studiointheheights present a push up challenge so you lock in

this was lowkey so challenging I tried it like 10 different times before I did it fast enough and now I’m tired 😅

learning that truly resting & living in the present moment is as much a part of health as is eating well & exercising 🧘🏻‍♀️
