I began this journey in 2012 with a few hundred dollars and the ideal of a creating a place where women can be joyful in their fitness. Prior to opening the studio, I was a History PhD candidate at Brown University and an adjunct professor, but an opportunity fell into my lap, and I followed this new path. In addition to running the studio, I am the mother of two children in the local public schools and an active member of our community in Edgewood. I’m a huge fan of all things Rhode Island and try to take advantage of our waterways, shoreline, great restaurants, and music scene as much as possible. In my spare time I enjoy sailing, surfing, skiing, cycling, hiking, running obstacle races, and playing bass. I also try to use my business, time, and privilege to better the local and broader community through volunteerism, activism, and fundraising.

I view every client who walks through the door as a unique individual with something special to add to our community. I appreciate the trust they put into our instructors as we work with them on their most valuable and vulnerable possession-their bodies. Nothing brings me greater fulfillment than seeing a clients reach a goal or do something they never even dreamed they could: Run a mile, do a pushup or pull-up, pickup their grandchild, get off high blood pressure medication, run a marathon, etc.
