My Philosophy
If we all were masters of change, we would not need a friend, a coach, or a career. It's true, adapting to change, to surprises life throws at you, is the key to improving your health, your mind, your well-being. I believe that wellness is a journey. Your fitness, nutrition, mindfulness are the building blocks of that journey. Align each block and your whole picture gets clearer. I am here to help you on this journey - adapting to change and finding your clear picture.
My Story
Have you ever seen a pole-vaulter crossing the bar at the Olympics?
No, I am not an Olympian. However, I do set my bar higher each time and work on crossing it as hard as I can, figuratively speaking.
My dad was a Russian fencing medalist. I grew up playing with fencing masks. Though I never tried fencing myself, I was active - with dance, swimming and cross-country skiing. I even taught "shaping" (a form of aerobics) in the 80s. Then, I started college and the pounds came on. I quickly gained weight, focusing on studies over exercise and eating pizza & wings over fruit & vegetables.
Fast-forward 20 years. I got married and had two kids. This is when I realized, I will not be around that long with all the extra pounds. So I started reading anything and everything I could find about fitness and nutrition. This became my passion, as I slowly started transforming myself in the process. I gave up my career in advertising for this new adventure.
I hold multiple certifications as an ACE Personal Trainer and Weight Management Specialist, AFAA Group Fitness Instructor, Les Mills and Schwinn Instructor, and Precision Nutrition Level 1 coach.
I believe that aligning your fitness, nutrition and recovery are key to a healthy and happy life and I can't wait to help you on your journey.
