Hello so glad you are here! I am a mom of a sweet baby boy born July 2022. My husband, baby, puppy, kitty, and I live in a cute little town in Missouri. I got my bachelors degree in Kinesiology and have been a certified personal trainer since the end of 2020. I always have had a passion for encouraging and walking alongside other in their fitness journey. I have had the opportunity of working with a wide range of ages and fitness levels. From assisting the elderly in their fitness to elite professional athletes in the peak of their sport. Starting in the sports medicine industry in 2015. Majority of my background comes from the experience as an Athletic Trainer intern. Working under Athletic Trainers in professional and collegiate sports, orthopedic clinics, psychical therapy clinics, as well as covering high school sports. It is a passion of mine to use the knowledge I have gained from my degree and incorporating it into fitness. From the injury protection and preventative perspective my mindset with all my clients is to accommodate my skills and knowledge to their goals. Personal training, fitness, and Athletic Training were my life up until motherhood. With a little one exercise, fitness, and health became a challenge. I wanted to create an outlet for other women to connect and grow together. As a mother I have grown and learned a lot about what health and fitness look like with a little one. Figuring out what fitness looks like through pregnancy, postpartum/newborn life, toddlerhood, and miscarriage. It has been so inspiring to walk alongside many other women who are just as passionate about their family and fitness!
Dahlia Fitness is all about embracing who we are in Christ, getting stronger physically and spiritually together. The Dahlia flower has many meanings, it is considered as a symbol of "inner strength and beauty" . The fitness industry today is heavily centered around the external strength and beauty. As that is a wonderful thing; I believe our inner beauty and strength is of more importance. This being one of the core values of Dahlia fitness. As a mother, wife, and Christ follower the dahlia flower's meaning fits beautifully into my season of life. There are many days where my hair is in a lopsided bun and I'm sleep deprived but there is such a refreshing joy to connect with other women going through the wild journey of motherhood. The fitness industry today is surrounded by the concept of outer strength and beauty. As a Christ follower to me the outer is only temporary and I strive to grow my inner beauty and strength each and everyday.
