First and foremost, I am a mother to 3 kids- Austin, Siena and Jemma. They have been my hardest job, but also my most fulfilling! On top of being a mama, I am a Personal Trainer, Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, Certified Lactation Consultant, Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and the founder of Balanced After Baby- a programs who's sole purpose is dedicated to making mother's feel good in their 4th trimester!
After years of struggling to find my “thing” in sports and having body image issues throughout high school, I found a passion for group fitness when I joined a local gym during my senior year of high school. As my love for taking care of my body in a non-judgmental and fun way evolved, so did my passion for group fitness.
During college, with the help of a mentor and friend, my love for fitness evolved from a hobby to something I wanted to pursue more seriously. I became certified as a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and cycling + barre teacher and grew to be a well-known group fitness instructor throughout several Boston-based gyms.
The more I learned that there was an intricate and vital balance between what you put into your body and how you moved your body, I decided to switch my college degree path and focus on Nutrition instead of Early Education, which I had spent my first three years of college pursuing. After graduating from Simmons College with a B.S. in Nutrition and Health Sciences, I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I learned about the idea of approaching health holistically for the first time.
Years later, I discovered Ayurveda, and in 2018 I took the leap and became a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor. Though I believe some Ayurvedic practices are a bit outdated, I like to call myself a "Modern Day Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor" because I take the fundamental principles and concepts of the ancient practice and adjust them to fit with modern-day life!
Now, as a mother of 3 and a Certified Lactation Consultant, I have fused my passion for health and fitness and created a business with the sole purpose of helping women at ANY stage of life feel confident and supported! I can't wait to get to know you and watch you flourish!!
XOXO
