I am a self starter and self motivated person. I originally just wanted to be a personal trainer after years of working dead end jobs. I had put on over 50 pounds after getting married and found a way to manage my weight through diet and exercise. Exercise kept me accountable for my diet and unhealthy lifestyle choices, and I felt like I had found the fountain of youth.After several years studying exercise science, and doing mobile training, my husband and I opened our fitness studio, Functional Body Shop in Tacoma, in 2015. We provide small group training and personal training at our studio. We focus on providing functional fitness for everyday activities, and online/mobile training and nutritional counseling as well. After several years of designing our own website, I am also launching my own media services company within our corporation, Northwest Calisthenics. I will update more on that as I continue to grow and brand that part of my company.
