my name is shae,
it’s so nice to meet you!
The word “wellness” is as a pretty big buzzword in the health and fitness space, holding all kinds of different interpretations. For me, wellness signifies the capacity to feel confident, at ease, and capable while embodying one's strongest and healthiest self—however that may look for you. A feeling of ‘wellness’ looks different on everyone.
Growing up, I was not an athlete by any means. I hated team sports, I was the kid in gym class that you did NOT want to pass the ball to, and when I did try playing youth soccer my parents love to remind me that I was always way more interested in chasing butterflies rather than chasing the ball. Fast forward a few years I decided to try out going to the gym and learn more about weightlifting and I instantly fell in love - and now here we are!
My training philosophy revolves around fostering an environment where individuals from all walks of life feel not only welcomed but genuinely valued. I strive to create a space where every person is encouraged, supported, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Whether you're a seasoned fitness enthusiast or taking your first steps towards a healthier lifestyle (or maybe you are a butterfly chaser like me), I am dedicated to guiding you on your journey to becoming the strongest version of yourself.
