Hello!!! I’m Natalie

I am focused on igniting confidence and self worth into every person I meet and train with.  Recognizing what our bodies are capable of goes beyond numbers and measurements.  I’m working towards redefining what authentic health can look like, by making fitness welcoming to all bodies. 

I specialize in beginner to intermediate fitness, including those with injuries or unique circumstances.  My approach is geared towards making you feel welcome and comfortable in the gym, while pushing you to try exercises, equipment, and programs that might be new to you.  Whether you love spinning and bootcamp classes, or have never picked up a weight before, you can expect workouts designed specifically for your body, goals, and abilities.  Everyone is welcome.

I grew up as a classically trained ballerina.  I loved dancing, but I hated my body, and my struggle with anxiety left me feeling constantly defeated. When I began working as a personal trainer, I realized I wasn't alone in this struggle.  When I realized traditional fitness messages were contributing to negative body image, I changed my own approach to exercise to include body positivity and size-acceptance.

I have created a few tools to aid in my mission of eliminating body shaming in the fitness industry that include my first book, Every. Body. Beautiful, and a new interactive workshop “Body Positive Basics for Fitness Professionals”.

Through sharing my own battles with body image, I’ve found that I’m better able to serve others who are up against similar struggles. I can help you change your body if that's what you're after, and in addition, after participating in my programs, you’ll discover strength and positivity you didn't know you had.
