Serving Port St. Joe and the Forgotten Coast
My passion for fitness began many years ago and has taken me from California and throughout Florida, working with individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Along the way, I earned certifications in personal training, yoga, and ministry while developing a deep appreciation for helping people build strength, improve mobility, and maintain an active lifestyle.
Today, through Blooming Fitness, I combine fitness training, yoga, flexibility work, balance training, and wellness coaching to help clients move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives.
My desire is to make fitness accessible and sustainable. Whether you’re beginning your fitness journey, returning after an injury, or seeking to stay strong and active as you age, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals in a supportive environment.
