Although she has had a lifelong passion for exercise, there was a period where she “gave in” to the American way of life which is just too busy to include

Four years later, she moved to Colorado becoming an instructor at the Aspen Club & Spa, The Snowmass Club and The Maroon Creek Club where she launched new programs with the founders of Les Mills and the US Women’s Director of Fitness for Gold’s Gym. She merged her “real job” as a t-shirt designer and her training world into the company Baronbleu where her clothing line inspires women to be the best they can be. Seven years later she moved to Roswell where she enjoys connecting, laughing, working hard, meditating, inspiring, getting results and teaching at SBC Mind & Body.
