Hi, I’m Connie.

I’m an ICF-certified and a Girls Gone Strong–certified women’s coach who helps women build lasting physical, emotional and mental strength.

My work sits at the intersection of strength training, coaching psychology, and adult learning. Strength isn’t just about fitness, it is about building a body and a mindset that can be the engine for the life you want to live.

I’ve spent over 15 years as a learning and development professional, educator, and coach, helping people navigate growth, transitions, and complex challenges. Strength training became part of my work because it works, not just for bodies, but for energy, resilience, and sustainable capacity.

Like many of the people I coach, I’ve navigated transitions, reinventions, grief, parenting, and the path back to feeling strong again. Strength training didn’t just change my body, it rebuilt my mindset, resilience, and energy resources.

I work primarily with women 40+ who are active, curious, and high-functioning, women who want to keep playing, competing, working, traveling, parenting, and living fully.

Together, we will make strength sustainable.

My Philosophy

I believe:

  • Strength is medicine for the mind and body

  • Systems matter more than motivation

  • Consistency beats intensity

  • Community is a health tool

This is coaching that focuses on your reality, not an idealized version of it.

My Approach

My approach includes coaching and educating, in addition to training.

It’s about:

  • Understanding and respecting women’s physiology

  • Adapting training for injuries and changing needs

  • Building the capacity to train independently over time

I will help you build consistency and sustainable habits based on your needs.

Everyone deserves to feel powerful, capable, and fully alive again.
