Certified Personal Trainer, Uplift Founder & Operator.
Experienced Certified Personal Trainer and Pain-free Performance Specialist with a unique background in client support and creative coaching. During my tenure at Apple from 2006 to 2012, I honed my skills in one-to-one client services, guiding adults over 35 in their creative endeavors, such as music, movies, photos, and books.
I'm dedicated to your goals and well-being, offering the latest evidence-based techniques in functional strength development, particularly post-trauma, surgery, or rehabilitation. In 2022, I achieved my NASM certification, and in 2024, I renewed my credentials by completing CE requirements with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Additionally, I am a certified Pain-free Performance Specialist (PPSC) since 2023.
Embracing my role as a recovery coach, I provide personalized guidance and support to help you navigate your fitness journey with empathy and understanding. Let's work together to achieve your goals and optimize your performance, pain-free!

Uplift emphasizes great value on close partnership in exercise and that’s why you can always bring a guest (or two!) for no additional cost (sign a waiver upon entering). Caregivers, spotters, trainers, therapists, etc. all are welcome!
Infrared sauna + cold plunge included.
These modalities were thoughtfully installed at Hidden Springs to provide access to the healing aspects of hot/cold therapy in a recovery setting. Come to Uplift just for the sauna when you need it, or combine with exercise for a blissful fitness session. Sweating and cooling off feels amazing!
