What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition? That was a huge help and I’m glad I made that decision. I thought I could learn and figure out how to build my website, but due to a lack of time, I eventually hired someone to do that for me. I would say the biggest struggle for me was the website and marketing. My current corporate position as a Risk Manager was a bonus in further helping me to prepare to start my business. I also had great experience in accounting as well as human resources however, I don’t have anyone employed at this time. Having had lots of experience in setting up different satellite locations in a previous corporate position, getting my business started was a pretty easy process in obtaining the license, beach permit and other necessary documents to operate. Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? I am grateful for every experience because, without them, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I often look back on my early career days and revisit all of the experiences I’ve had along the way, both challenging and great times. My regular SUP classes are on the weekends. My daughter even came up with the name, “Perfect Balance Fitness”, which I am proud to share.Ĭurrently, I’m training clients at my studio and teaching Beach Yoga several times per week. My husband of almost sixteen years and my two children have supported me every step along the way. The difference in how I feel now as opposed to years ago is more balanced and knowing that I’m doing what I enjoy with my business. They support the balance in my life and it allows for more time with my kids. My business has been doing great ever since and continues to grow, and I still work that risk management position, but from home now. I started my business back in 2016 and continued with my risk management position. I expanded my education and got certified as a yoga teacher and a SUP instructor, along with SUP yoga and SUP fitness. I looked back to all of the years I trained people and wanted that again, but this time, I wanted to expand on it and teach all of the things I loved to do – Yoga and Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP), which I was doing for years. The nature of that industry brought high stress and it eventually caught up with me. I was commuting every day and keeping up with the kids, as well as being on call at night and through the weekends. I was burning out very quickly after being there for years. I eventually starting working as a Corporate Risk Manager.Ī few years ago, I was on overload with that job. After a couple of years, I became the director for that center, given my background in business. After graduation, I relocated to San Diego in the late nineties and worked in corporate wellness training clients again, and later training people with spinal cord injuries at a specialized rehabilitation center. My concentration was with special populations and cardiac rehabilitation so I completed an internship at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. I worked a few different jobs at the time at a corporate fitness facility training clients, a physical therapy clinic, and with clients at their homes. That was a learning experience!įast forward a couple of more years, I became certified as a Personal Trainer in college while completing my exercise science degree. The first time I went to Aspen for work, I got my first taste of high altitude syndrome after a run. Exercise was always a priority to help get me through those very long days. I remember spending a month in Maui working and every morning at 4:00 a.m., I’d get up to go for my run on the beach. I spent a great deal of time traveling and planning sales incentive and annual trips to resort locations for pharmaceutical, publishing and insurance companies. ![]() After completing my business degree in the early nineties, I worked in the corporate travel industry for several years before going back to school to study exercise science. That continued into my twenties and I added on new activities like crew.Īnything that could get me outdoors, in the water or traveling to tropical locations, I was there. On the east coast, I was always active growing up, playing sports throughout my school years, and weight training and running since my late teen years.
