what moves you.
We all have motivations: our health, family, or just feeling better in our own skin.
Sometimes, we need a little help to reach our goals. That’s where I come in.
To push you when you need a challenge. To spot you when you need support.
To lift you when you need a boost.
With upLIFT, stronger starts here.

workouts
From dumbbells and stability balls, to TRX and resistance bands, I use a variety of tools
and techniques to customize each workout to my clients’ needs.
strong body
You’ll be amazed at what your body can do. Together, we’ll build up muscles, break down barriers, and pave a path to lifelong health.
That’s something to
flex about.
strong mind
Strength isn’t just about how much
you can lift. It’s also about mental endurance, emotional wellbeing, and
a profound sense of accomplishment. After all, lifting weights can lift
spirits, too.
what moves me.
My story started—and continues—on the North Shore of Chicago, where I’ve lived my whole life. Raised in a boisterous family of 7, I am happiest surrounded by people and noise. My husband and three amazing daughters keep me just as active outside the gym as in it, and I know firsthand the highs (and not-so-highs) of being a working mom.
In addition to teaching fitness classes throughout Chicagoland for over a decade, I’m a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer and Women's Fitness Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I’m also a certified barre, HIIT and cycle instructor, Certified TRX Coach, and I’m preparing to obtain my Olympic Lifting Certification.
I believe wellness is a personal journey, and that there is not “one right way” to get fit. I believe it’s possible to offer a challenging, super hard workout that’s also fun. And I believe in balance, which means yes, wine and chocolate are a vital part of any healthy lifestyle!
