I come from a background in gymnastics and was put through rigorous exercise programs starting at a young age.
I have worked as a fitness professional in Chicago for ten years.
I eventually stopped pursuing my career in gymnastics, but have never stopped exercising. I am very grateful for that period of my life, because it taught me all about hard work and commitment at a young age.
In 1998, I gained two personal training certifications, one through ACE (American Council on Exercise) and one through NSPA (National Strength Professionals Association). I then started my personal training career at The Chicago Sweat Shop. Shortly after, I went into business for myself and opened my own company, FitPro Personal Training.
I then went on to complete my next venture, pursuing an education in massage therapy. I became a graduate of the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in September, 2004. I am nationally certified and state licensed through the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), and I am also a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
In 2006 I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner through the Mystical Sciences Institute under the teachings of Billie Topa Tate. I have developed a strong passion for energy work and I incorporate it into everything that I do.
My vision in life is to be a healer- physically, mentally, and spiritually for every person I work with.
I am a wellness professional. I have different skills that allow me to bring wellness into other people's lives, but my main goal is always to improve the quality of life for each person I work with. I also practice what I preach. I have been practicing wellness myself for a long time now.
