I have been in the field of fitness, health & wellness since 1991, have trained and certified other fitness professionals thru AFAA since 1993 (Personal Training, Primary Group Ex, and workshops on Pilates, indoor cycling, yoga, Injury prevention and more). I opened Amber Moon Studio when I moved to Austin in 2006.

Currently its just me here at the Studio. I retired from AFAA in December 2015 to be able to focus on this Studio more, and what a blast! To have weekends free for training (I’m still a triathlete), gardening, doing what I want. Life IS good!

• MS Exercise Science, The University of Tennessee, 1999 (go Vols!!!)
• BS Physical Education, Leisure Services emphasis, Winthrop University 1997
• Licensed Massage Therapist (MT# 106621)
• Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist
• Certified Instructor in the Viniyoga Tradition
• ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist
• STOTT PILATES® Certified
• USAT Certified Level 1 Coach
