Strong As I Am Collective is for women who want to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their bodies. Whether you’re brand new to strength training, returning after a long break, or looking for a more grounded approach to fitness.
-
I am certified as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), with formal education in strength training, nutrition science, biomechanics, and lifespan populations. I continue advanced study in strength and conditioning, nutrition, and corrective exercise to ensure the guidance I provide reflects current evidence and best practices.
I also hold a Human Potential Coach Level 2 certification, completing 81.5 ACSTH coaching hours aligned with training standards recognized by the International Coaching Federation. This training supports my approach to helping clients build sustainable habits, develop self trust, and cultivate long term resilience alongside physical strength.
In addition to my formal credentials, I bring years of dedicated strength training experience and coach women in both private and small group settings, guiding them to build strength, confidence, and lasting health.

No. You do not need to already be strong or “in shape.” Movements are taught, coached, and scaled so you can start exactly where you are.
-
Yes. For clients working in private or semi-private coaching, Strong As I Am Collective can offer optional InBody body composition scans through a private studio partnership.
These scans provide information such as lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, and overall body composition. When appropriate, this information may help guide training decisions and provide additional context for physical development.
The Strong As I Am Collective approach does not center on shrinking bodies or chasing numbers. Our focus is building strength, resilience, and long term capacity.
Body composition data is simply one piece of information among many. Progress is measured through strength, energy, function, and sustainable habits over time.
Body composition scans are available as an optional tool for private and semi private clients.
At Strong As I Am Collective, the goal is not to become less. The goal is to become stronger, more capable, and more at home in your body.
