ABOUT

I moved from Portugal to NYC in 2008 to pursue a career in acting. While studying theater at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts I discovered my love of dance. This transitioned into a decade long exploration of ballet, yoga, pilates and contemporary dance.

My goal as a trainer is to help my clients enjoy taking care of their bodies and to give them the motivation and tools they need to train safely.

I am certified through NASM (National Accreditation of Sports Medicine) for Personal Training, and Pilates Mat certified through the Kane School of New York City.

Having started dance later in life, I know the focus, patience and determination it takes to start from scratch. I am thrilled to share my passion for health and wellness with all my clients.
