I’m a certified RRCA running coach & REBT certified mindset coach.  I enjoy working with others to help them achieve goals beyond what they thought were possible.  I complete, explore, and train with the drive to learn more about what I can push my body to do. As an overweight, out-of-shape child and teenager with low self-esteem, I started running over twenty years ago and have used it to not only get in shape, but to develop pride in everything my body (and mind) can accomplish. I have completed races ranging in distances from 5k to Ultramarathons. Running is a lifelong passion for me, and I enjoy helping others develop a rewarding relationship with the sport.

New York, NY…..But I feel most at home on the trails!

Running changes our concept of self; who we are, what we are capable of, and who we can grow into.  You can train your physical body, but if you don’t believe in yourself, if there’s an unhelpful story you are replaying in your head, then you won’t get far.   Everyone has a reason to run. For some it’s about physical health, some struggle with mental illnesses/emotional trauma. For others, they want to check “that race” off a bucket list. Whatever it is, know it, own it, and remind yourself of it while training. Believe YOU actually are capable of great things. Because you are…We all are. 

I am both a RRCA certified running coach and a REBT certified mindset coach.

Just RUN – Make it fun & integrate it into your life. Consistency is key.

• Mostly “slow” – Slow is relative, but many people don’t appreciate the importance of easy runs. Speed and strength do have their place, but only when targeted for a specific outcome.
• Not too much – Don’t overtrain or burn out. Enjoy the process as much, if not more, than reaching the goal.
• Know Your WHY – Everyone has a reason to run. For some it’s about physical health, some struggle with mental Illnesses/emotional trauma. For others, they want to check “that race” off a bucket list. Whatever it is, know it, own it, and remind yourself of it while training.
