Well, hello there.

Welcome to the FIT blog. I’m glad you’re here. I want to dedicate this first post to introducing myself and explaining a little bit about my logo and business name.

I’m a married mom of two with two and half decades of experience working with human beings in a variety of places and circumstances. Creativity and resilience are my super powers, and I use my passion, education and experience in the arts, anatomy and exercise to help people achieve health and healing.

Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with people ranging from athletes, to CEOs to critically at-risk youth, and people who’ve battled cancer, abuse and more. What I’ve learned is that we all have similar desires for health, happiness and wholeness.

We also have failure and obstacles in common. While not every person is in possession of the same tools for resilience, I believe that we all have a strong working capacity to recover from the hardest falls. It just takes the right measure of resources, information and support.

That’s where my heart lies. And that’s where the F*IT logo comes in.

F.I.T. is an acronym that stands for Focus, Inform and Take Meaningful Steps. It’s the springboard for building a healthy workplace culture, to recovering from hardship, and to making goals a reality. F.I.T can help an athlete improve their power or flexibility; it can help shift a group into a team; it can prop up a young person’s sense of agency.

The asterisk is just a reminder that everybody is human and to not take ourselves too seriously.

Every client I serve, whether it is one person over the course of years, or a group of professionals in a 45 minute speaking engagement will gain access to this feedback-based approach.

To paraphrase myself in a recent interview:

Feedback is really important.

If you can stare at your failure in the face and acknowledge where your failure doesn’t really matter or you can see that it bumps up against your core values and course-correct, that’s where you get deep growth.

I look forward to growing alongside you.
