Hi! My name is Heidi. I am a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and certified group fitness instructor specializing in Les Mills BodyPump & BodyFlow. In addition to fitness, I am a certified Peer Recovery Coach, helping individuals navigate substance use and mental health challenges providing guidance, encouragement, and support. I recognize the powerful connection between mental and physical health and how hands-on stretching improves flexibility, reduces muscle tension, enhances circulation and promotes relaxation—supporting physical recovery and mental clarity.

The science behind stretching continues to evolve. Together let's unlock its full potential to feel and move better every day. I am blessed to be the mother of four.
