My Teaching Style
I love a high-energy class and promise to bring the vibe! It is my goal that you leave my classes sweaty with a smile! I love a good theme and will often create themed playlists (80's, 90's, millennial, movie themes, you name it!) to motivate my class to dig deeper and create a party atmosphere! I am a firm believer that we should listen to our bodies, so I offer many variations to allow you to get a good burn safely within your personal range of motion and abilities. I truly believe a workout should be a personalized experience, even in a group setting, so if you ever have questions about variations, please feel free to ask!
Experience
My fitness journey has been just that....a journey! I've been teaching a variety of classes for nearly 20 years (HIT, Zumba, PiYo, Insanity, boxing, running mobility, and now Power-Up!). I fell in love with group fitness in my early twenties and have never looked back! There is something truly special that happens in group fitness classes. Friendships are forged, confidence is built, and empowerment shines! Whether you're in a season of strength, recovering from an injury, or just starting or getting back into your fitness journey, this sacred space and community have your back! I can personally attest to the power of group fitness in various seasons of my own life and am so excited to be a small part of your journey.
Favorite Exercise
I love power lifting! Squats, dead lifts, cleans, clean-and-jerks, and snatches are not only super empowering, they are also extremely functional in nature! I love exercises that you can apply in your daily life. Strong on the mat and strong in the wild!

Why I Love Dragonfly
The heat! Despite living in Wisconsin all of my life, my ideal weather is humid and 90+ degrees, so of course I fell in love with the hot studio from the first time I stepped into the room! Add that to the amazingly welcoming community and the ability to get my fitness and yoga fix, and I was hooked!
Little Known Fact About Me
My husband and I have two rescue dogs (Farley and Willis) who I love and adore! While most people learn that about me quickly (half of my wardrobe says "Dog Mama" on it and I can't have a conversation without mentioning them :-), what they don't know is that I never had dogs before them. I'm convinced those two goofballs changed my DNA. So, if you ever want to swap dog photos or stories, are looking to adopt, or just want to talk about dogs in general, I'm your gal!
