I am an athlete, animal lover, and explorer born in the Bay Area.  I've lived in California and all over the states.  While I enjoy visiting exotic places, such as Dubai, I am a California girl to the bone.  And more specifically, a country girl at heart. 

 

Currently a resident of El Dorado County, I thoroughly enjoy the Sacramento to Lake Tahoe area.  I consider myself very blessed to live in a community with such an abundance of fitness opportunities, equestrian community, adventure and nature.

 

I began my professional career in fitness as a Certified Personal Trainer in 2006.  Since then, I have achieved a diverse fitness background with certificates ranging from general group fitness to specialties such as Spinning and Baptiste Yoga 200HR YTT.  I have trained at various Southern California athletic clubs, as well as, the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa.  In El Dorado County, I have coached at SwimLabs of El Dorado Hills.  I am currently teaching at RubiconFit in Placerville. 

​

While fitness is definitely part of who I am, horsemanship is the flip side of that coin.  In 2011, I founded The Ranch at Hidden Oaks.  My sanctuary for animals is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides educational animal encounters to the community.  (For more information on The Ranch please visit AtTheRanch.org)  In addition to operating The Ranch, I provided various services to the local equestrian community.  Offerings include foundational horsemanship, trail exposure/fitness,  travel care, and horse-integrated yoga.
