Meet Heather

Meet Heather, Founder and Certified Personal Trainer

I am a Certified Personal Trainer who is passionate about knee-friendly fitness and helping people live the active life that they love. I committed to helping guide you on your fitness journey - whether your goals are to climb a mountain or the stairs - I will be with you every step of the way.

At a young age, ​I was diagnosed with Patella Femoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). Growing up with chronic knee pain, I was in and out of Physical Therapy for years. Eventually, I learned how to manage my knee pain myself through modified and progressive exercises so that I could live the active lifestyle that I love; from snowboarding to hiking, biking, backpacking, rock climbing, swimming and more.

Now, I want to share what I have learned to help others maintain an active lifestyle and achieve their health and fitness goals. So whether you are an active or aging adult getting out of Physical Therapy after surgery or an injury, experience sensitive knees, or want to elevate your fitness journey - set up your free consultation to start your journey towards stronger  knees.

Motivation for Movement

Managing my own knees has allowed me to live the active life that I love; from snowboarding to rock climbing, paddleboarding, backpacking, hiking, and more. Now, I am here to help YOU live the active life that you love - whether you love being active outside doing recreational activities, want to return to sport after an injury, or simply want to keep up with your grandkids. I can help you build stronger knees for a stronger life.
