Wellness

Whether it’s been in my professional life or personal life, I’ve always had a “thing” for wellness! As of early 2023, I’ve been volunteering for about a year at Avery Family Farm – helping the owner with “cuddle classes” on Saturdays…yes, that’s a real thing! You might notice some pics of me with goats. They are beautiful and gentle animals – therapeutic, indeed.

From 2016 through 2019 I had the honor of representing Velocity Sportswear through their TriMafia ambassador program… through the magic of social media, the power of connections, and pure luck! I learned so much about triathlon and the soul of others. What a gift from the universe. Even though my triathlon days are probably behind me, they are great people and I would recommend it to anyone!

Currently I’m *LOVING* Camp Gladiator! During the peak of the pandemic they were able to pivot to all virtual for a while and then eventually got back together in person. For a while those were the only other humans I saw outside of my home. It was faaaaantastic and I’m grateful that I’m there! I’ll hit 700 check-ins (hours of actively participating in CG workouts) in March 2023!
