I’ve always engaged in some form of movement, from running and rowing in my 20s to increasing weight training and finally participating in a sprint triathlon in my 40s. After a lifetime of working with trainers, I narrowed down what truly matters. Trainers are our health champions, and we need them to show up for us as cheerleaders and coaches. Sometimes, we also need tough love. Holly came into my life when my health needed significant attention. I was stressed, overweight, and out of shape after taking a break from training. Within six months of partnering with her, my health began to improve, my weight decreased, and my overall outlook became more positive. I haven’t looked back since. We often talk about women’s hormonal health in our sessions, and I’ve signed up with her for training and nutrition counseling. Our conversations are confidential and judgment-free—in other words, a safe space. All of these things have resulted in mostly positive outcomes, and I’m grateful for the partnership.

Before I started working with Holly, I had torn my ACL and my right knee felt weak and painful. I had lost a lot of confidence in my movement and was nervous about putting pressure on my knee, even for simple things like walking up stairs. She helped me rebuild my strength gradually and safely, and the transformation has been incredible. My knee feels so much stronger, and my confidence has completely returned. In fact, I recently was able to keep up with my 20yr old niece up a flight of stairs in a National park Canopy— something that would have felt impossible before! I’ve also noticed improvements in my overall well-being. With menopause I had been feeling a bit out of balance, but the consistent training has helped regulate my body and I feel more energized and stable. What I appreciate most about her is how kind and encouraging Holly is — she is never judgmental, but at the same time she pushes me to do my best. I always leave our sessions feeling stronger, happier, and motivated, and I’m truly grateful for her support and guidance.
