Orange Shoe Personal Fitness Waunakee

About

I am a dedicated and curious person, anchored in the Waunakee community, where I enjoy a life built around family and exploration. My personal world is driven by a constant yearning to learn. I love to read and dive into science, psychology, philosophy, but also enjoy sci fi/fantasy and novels. I enjoy engaging in art projects, and trying out new hobbies ranging from downhill skiing to home construction. I am truly a homebody, and in my downtime I like laying in the sun with my cat, listening to music or podcasts, appreciating nature, exercising, and playing board games with my family.

Q & A

Q: Why did you become a personal trainer?

A: My primary motivation for becoming a personal trainer is rooted in the fact that movement became the most constant, stabilizing force in my own life through every challenge and success. I realized that fitness is essential to bridging the gap between an individual's mental and physical health. My goal is to be a guide who empowers clients to achieve a more powerful, functional, and deeply valued life. I am committed to educating others on how improving their fitness, acts as a vital form of self care, a method for managing stress, and a reliable source of self worth.

Q: What has been one of your favorite client experiences?

A: The most pivotal shift in my life came when I learned to approach myself without judgment. My favorite client experience will be centered around offering a supportive environment, and helping clients realize with every hurdle is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and accelerate growth. Witnessing a client learn to shed their self doubt and secure their long term health will be a constant source of inspiration.

Q: What is your proudest physical achievement?

A: Bringing 3 lives into the world! I have so much pride in my body’s ability to have undergone such a demanding journey and recovery, then repeating the cycle 3 times. Each birth has been a catalyst for personal discovery and growth, and has helped guide me toward new appreciations for life.
