Working with Mandy has genuinely given me a new lease on life. I deal with a rare condition in both my knees that causes debilitating issues for me. I went from an athletic lifestyle to a sedentary one because I was constantly worried about the next time I would re-injure myself from walking or taking a flight of stairs. Mandy's training focused on strengthening my body mechanics, which are vital for mobility, and stabilizing and maintaining my knee issues. I have regained the confidence I needed to maneuver life in this body better than I ever could. I am back to lifting weights and hiking again, two things I wasn't sure would ever happen until I had double knee replacement surgeries, which is still a reality for me, but I can live more comfortably until that day. And when issues arise, I have the tools necessary to help aid in the recovery process and healing time. I couldn't recommend Mandy enough. She changed my life!

I have been working with Mandy for almost three years. I started during the pandemic just to do group workouts with friends. About a year and half in I started doing nutrition in addition to workouts. In my time with Mandy I have lost 29 pounds of fat, while gaining 3 pounds of muscle. Mandy is patient and kind and meets you where you are. She is consistent in asking you to state your goals and then giving affirmation and steps to meet those goals. When I started with Mandy I never thought that I would be a morning workout person (in fact emphatically said no way), could work out Monday-Friday, or would change my eating and nutrition habits. However, with Mandy's guidance and gentle pushing I now workout at 6 am Monday-Friday. I have also completely changed my eating and nutrition. I am stronger, more toned, and am far better equipped in the food/drink choices that I make. She creates accountability in the best way possible, not by shaming, but by partnering, knowing when to push, and knowing when to just acknowledge an issue and letting it rest with you. Mandy's voice now has taken up permanent place in my head. I hear her voice when I feel like I can't get up to work out, when I want sugar, or am doing things without using my abs. I also thought that I had to be a runner to be successful and truly "fit". I hate running and that has always made me feel unsuccessful. Mandy has helped me realize that strength is key to everything, that cardio has a lesser importance, that you have to do what your body has the strength to do correctly and without getting hurt. This knowledge has set me free and helped me feel successful and I have more knowledge to know why running is so difficult for me. Her plan feels doable, manageable, and makes me want to keep getting stronger and more fit. She does this for all of her clients, "what are your goals and how do we get there". Lastly, Mandy is the biggest support system for me. She is intuitive to know when something is going on in your life and she asks you about it. She doesn't make you push through when something hurts - she wants to get to the bottom of it. She also gives you permission to put yourself first. She knows that as women we are the CEO of the house, the workplace, and have many things that derail our progress and lives. She supports you through it, she is kind, understanding and gives you permission to feel how you feel and to give yourself grace. I have recommended Mandy to several of my friends, they have all joined up with her and have seen benefit from her work. I highly recommend her, she is a highlight in my life.
