About Me

Aloha and thank you for visiting my website!  I'm so happy to be able to share what I've learned throughout the years. I've been coaching volleyball at all levels for over 20 years.  About five years ago, my body made it clear that I could not play volleyball forever.  Learning to apply the 9 Pilates Principles in daily life has been a game changer for my overall wellness. Throughout the years, I have been blessed with amazing coaches and inspiring mentors which motivate me to share in the same way with all of you!  After gaining my Pilates teaching certificate, I attended myofascial release training and realized that I needed a license to touch.  And so, that very year, I finally followed that nagging inner voice telling me to attend massage therapy school.  One year later, I became a licensed massage therapist!  My two collegiate degrees and formal education incorporate human anatomy and physiology with sustainable development and social practices, which frames my wellness approach today.  I have been the first assistant & continuity coach for the Outrigger Beach Volleyball program since 2015, coached at Hawai'i Pacific University for 6 years, and have been coaching on Oahu since 2013.  I also currently work as a caregiver, and it is some of the most fulfilling work I do.
