My approach is holistic, meaning I look at sleep, nutrition, movement patterns and thought patterns. Together, we'll discover what's holding you back and set you free from it. Nancy is the best. Seriously. I was afraid of training and afraid of lifting weights because I thought I was too weak and physically compromised from a prior injury.
Nancy has proved me wrong. She is a badass powerlifter but she takes a very intellectual, thoughtful, informed approach to strength training. What I love about Nancy is that she is such a sensitive observer. She thinks holistically about what your body is doing. I was surprised that she was so interested in my breathing.

I got into strength training because I wanted to get rid of my cellulite. Yep. That's right. My primary concern was changing appearance. I thought maybe if I just got rid of my cellulite, I'd stop saying nasty things to myself in the mirror. I even went so far as to transform my body for bikini competitions.

Training with Nancy has not only yielded physical results. In knowing that I am strong, I feel more confident, proud, and grounded in who I am as a woman in the world.
When we work together, I'll help you get strong, but I'll also teach you how strong you already are. And we'll do this by lifting weights. Why lifting? Well, there's a myriad of health benefits, but for women, the psychological benefits can far outweigh the physical ones. You'll find yourself lifting weights and doing tasks that would've seemed impossible.

I've been working with Nancy for about 6 weeks now, and I am so grateful that I found her. We've been doing virtual trainings and I have been so pleased with the efficacy and convenience during these times. I just wish I was introduced to her sooner!
Notably, I have a complicated history with body image and exercise and old injuries, and I came to realize that I needed more support in getting fulfilling movement. Even with that realization, I wasn't even expecting to get as much out of a personal trainer as I do with Nancy. I can honestly say I cannot imagine training with anyone

I've only known Nancy for 8 months, but she unquestionably has changed my life in a short period of time. Structural and alignment issues have made it hard for me to do certain exercises, so I've steered clear of them forever. Nancy has changed that. Rather than create workouts to tip toe around the things that I can't or won't do, we face those challenges head on--and make them happen. I went from someone who can barely squat, to someone who can squat close to the floor holding a weight. I went from someone who couldn't do a deadlift, to deadlifting over 50 lbs. in a relatively

Go train with Nancy! I am so glad I did -- she transformed both my body and my mindset. I wanted to get stronger, but knew nothing about lifting weights and thought it was boring. Nancy changed all that. She challenged me to lift weights that were WAY heavier than I ever thought I could lift, and showed me how strong I can be. Her training sessions are hard -- she will get you to do more than you think you can! -- but she's also so smart and fun to talk with, I always looked forward to my workout. Nancy is fantastic at explaining the movements and mechanics, which as someone totally new to

I am so grateful to have Nancy's help and I'm feeling strong in my body for the first time in a very long time. I've had a long, complicated relationship with working out and have a history of disordered eating and exercise as a means to make myself smaller. Nancy has been a huge help in getting me out of my head and into my body.
Beyond that, when I started working with her a few short months ago I was having chronic back pain and visiting my chiropractor 2-3 times a week. She focused her energy on stretching and strengthening my back and shoulder muscles. Since training with

I've been working with Nancy for a little over a year now, and working with her is truly one of the best investments I've made to date. It's one thing to find someone who can write you a program and watch you lift once a week, but it's another to find someone who is genuinely SO passionate about everything regarding how the body works, and will research movements/breathing patterns specific to improving YOUR body. I really feel that I've hit the jackpot with Nancy when it comes to personal training - she feels more like a friend, but is stern when she needs to be (which

I have been training with Nancy for the past two months. For years, I had been fearful about working with a personal trainer again after a few bad experiences. I have a history of eating disorders as well as multiple chronic illnesses that affect my life in various ways and at times, my physical capabilities. I was fearful that a personal trainer would make comments that would be triggering for someone with a history of eating disorders, or be impatient and lack an understanding about my limitations due to chronic illnesses, as has happened in the past. Nancy has proven to be the exact opposite

What I love about Nancy is that she is such a sensitive observer. She thinks holistically about what your body is doing. I was surprised that she was so interested in my breathing. Turns out, a lot of my superficial frustration with my body (why couldn't my waist get smaller?) had to do with everyday movement patterns, not just the strength of my abdominal muscles. After ten sessions, I have new ways of being in my body that are helping me feel better day to day. That's a lot more than I originally signed up for! I'm so excited to continue on.

I have been working with Nancy for about 6 months now and can not believe the results I have seen. I am stronger than I could've ever imagined and it is all thanks to Nancy's constant support both in an outside of the gym. Her holistic approach to coaching and genuine concern for her clients has helped me improve physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you want to make some serious changes in your life; Nancy is the woman for you!

Nancy is the answer to all your physical problems. I have had chronic pain and misalignments in my body for literal DECADES. I had seen everyone - chiropractors, acupuncturists, doctors, physical therapists, walking coaches, rolfers, healers, etc. Nancy was the first person who was able to actually teach me ways of breathing and moving that started to make a consistent physical difference in my pain and mobility. All those other practitioners would patch me up and then I would break down again, but what Nancy has taught me has actually changed my physical patterns and I can see the changes will

If you are serious about your strength goals and are looking for a coach/trainer who is just as serious about helping you crush them, Nancy is your gal!
I started working with Nancy around 9 months ago with a goal of merely feeling strong and confident enough to *consider* signing up for a powerlifting meet. 9 months in, and my first USAPL meet is in 2 weekends! My strength has gone on significantly, and I can see that I've packed on quite a bit of muscle. Nancy truly cares about your goals and keeps you accountable on the "homework" you're assigned.
The cherry on top is that Nancy is extremely

How much does Nancy rock?!? to this day i can’t believe how lucky i was to meet her and sign up for my first session. right away she makes you feel at ease, comfortable and capable of stuff you never thought of even trying. Nancy’s approach is uber personal, highly tailored to your specific needs and goals. she is very knowledgeable when it comes to strength training, body alignment, nutrition and psychology behind it all. i have become stronger, leaner and more in tune with my body since i started training with her 6 months ago. if you are looking for a true partner in your fitness journey

Nancy rules! I have years of experience both working out and training others, so it is often difficult for me to take instruction. Nancy is not only incredibly knowledgable but patient yet assertive. My experience is that she manages to get maximum effort out of me even when I don't think I'm capable. That's really the mark of a great trainer. As a result, I've put 25 pounds on my front squat and 15 pounds on my benchpress in just 4 weeks. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She truly cares about her clients and their progress and it shows in her training. Do it
