‘I work with brides-to-be, expectant moms and anyone aiming for weight loss, as well as with sport-specific training, marathon training, outdoor pre-work training and post-cancer / post-injury rehab. I encourage my clients to challenge themselves. We all function better and feel better with a balanced, healthy diet and an active lifestyle; my philosophy is preventative action for successful living as we age.’
