As a native southern California athlete, I have always had a love for fitness. I began group fitness training at 17 years old, covering my first step aerobics and aqua fitness classes. Over the years, I have expanded my fitness experience with certifications in Zumba, kickboxing, HIIT, PiYo, circuit training, and trained for many 10k's and Spartan races.
In 2019, my breast cancer journey began. As a multi-certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist for over 30 years, my healthy lifestyle played a vital role in my recovery. During my treatment, I realized that my plan, like so many others, had lacked what I felt was so valuable. PERSONALIZED ONCOLOGY FITNESS & NUTRITION!
To help myself and others, I became a certified oncology and lymphatic drainage exercise specialist. I designed a program to support the mind and body for prehab, current, and post treatment plans. I hope to reduce side-effects and mortality rates and to improve the lives of survivors and those living with cancer.
In 2022, my husband and I relocated to Arizona where we love hiking, camping, swimming, fitness training, live music , museums, and floating down the Salt River.
My goal with fitness training is to Inspire the best version of you!

PETER BUCK

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end” Closing Time, Semisonics
After finishing his career as a busy orthopedic surgeon, Pete has channeled his energy into personal training. Both involve intimate knowledge of human anatomy and kinematics of the musculoskeletal system.
It has been Pete’s lifetime passion to help people return to their highest level of function after injury or other orthopedic issue. His work focused on joint replacement. He also was team orthopedist for Iowa State University sports.
He strongly believes that the medical benefits of exercise are enormous. It aids weight loss, improves mood, boosts energy and combats a myriad of health conditions. Exercise helps you embrace life and it truly is the best medicine.
With personal training one can identify individual needs to make a unique “game plan” with appropriate goals. Every person is different. But every person can benefit from some form of exercise.
Pete’s motto: let’s exercise and let’s have fun doing it.
