Breath awareness and meditation has made a huge difference in my life. When I finished my final project to be certified in meditation through Kelly Smith, I thought, “I have to share this with people.”

I’m a firm believer: the nature of your breath has the power to make substantial shifts in your mood and energy.

Back to Breath is a free and inclusive 3-day meditation challenge (or mini-course) that teaches us the power of breath through breath awareness meditation. I wanted this challenge to be approachable for beginners and flexible enough to fit into the busiest schedules, no more than 15 minutes per day. Swipe to learn more >>>

You can shift your mood and mindset using breath. Take the leap and sign up today. You can open the emails when they come, or save them for later when you’re ready. This one choice could be the first step to a meditation practice that improves your life.

What is Strong Nation® exactly? It’s the perfect mix of martial arts, strength, cardio, balance, and mobility training all synced perfectly to motivating music. It’s a one of a kind experience with options to fit all fitness levels.

This September, join me for Strong Nation® with Weights Sunday 9/13 at 9am-10am at DartmouthTotalFitness or the 30-minute version every Tuesday from 5:30pm-6pm at Crunch New Bedford 💪

I’m always talking about how I wish I could clone myself irl to show options simultaneously. 🤭 Which version fits your vibe?

You guys have no idea how excited I am for this class! I’ve been waiting a few months to share a 90s-themed BUTI class with you and now is the time. 💖

Staying up late on a school night will be worth it, promise ⚡️🧘‍♀️ Until class day, I’ll be revealing songs from the playlist in my story. Keep your 👀 peeled!

Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by the concept of change because it seems so big and uncertain, but we can also approach change in a way where we take small steps and celebrate small wins. Over time, when you look back, you’ll release how those small changes stacked up into your transformation. 💞

Last night’s practice revolved around this theme of change while we embrace the shift from summer back to our routines. We moved through a flow that took us 360° around the mat, noticing subtle differences in the body as we explored posture variations within the same sequence of poses.

Thank you to everyone who joined me last night and to NB Wellness Initiative for giving me these opportunities to teach. I’m settling into my teaching style and feeling more comfortable in my role leading the practice. It feels so good. 💖

On this day in 2010, my life changed forever. At just 18 years old, I took the leap to become licensed to teach Zumba®. My parents dropped me off! This was the height of the Zumba® boom in my area and it seemed like every other person was taking a class or also an instructor. I started teaching at my dance studio, soon got a job at a local women’s gym (shout out to my Escape to Fitness fam!) and the rest is history.

6 years later, after exploring fitness formats outside of Zumba®, I took another leap to teach Zumba®’s newest format, Strong Nation®. That training was also held on August 20th and my then boyfriend, now husband dropped me off! I remember DYING during the master class and feeling completely overwhelmed with the new content and style of teaching. I didn’t start teaching Strong Nation® until 4 months later. The highlight of my SYNC career so far had to be the Master Class we held in 2022 with Natalie Bayersdorfer and I led a quadrant 6 months pregnant!

Both of these formats have given me so much:

Confidence, aerobic fitness (talking while moving? It’s a lot), using a mic, better cueing, adjusting the moves in the moment to match the needs of the people in front of me… the list goes on. I even credit teaching virtual classes during the pandemic to a giant improvement in my non-verbal cueing, because it was a necessary skill to provide a good virtual class.

It hasn’t always been a positive experience. There were some seasons where I seriously considered giving it all up, but during milestones like this, taking the time to reflect refocuses me to what I should be paying attention to: how lucky I am to get to do this.

I don’t think my teenaged self understood the magic of those early days. Now that trends have changed, class sizes have dwindled, and I’m now mid 30s with a kid, I have so much more gratitude for that time where 40+ people would join my class.

I wanted to take this moment to thank every single person who’s trusted me enough to provide them a class. Thank you for being here and helping me transform into the person I was meant to be.
