	Bio:	AFPA Advanced Personal Trainer Resist-a-ball Trainer MadDogg Spinning Instructor Sadhana Yoga Master Nursing, personal training and yoga certifications have molded me into a functional trainer that works to create a balanced body. By using weights, cardio, and yoga I help your body find its true center, a place that feels good and looks good. To do this you also must work on balancing the inner self. I believe that transforming the way you feel and think is the most important aspect of being fit. Working out becomes play time as we work through obstacles and tackle the negative ideas that keep you in the same unsuccessful patterns. Eating a balanced diet and working out will become a joyful experience.
