redefining what it means to be healthy
We understand the frustration that can come with building and maintaining health in today's world regardless. We are committed to making your goals obtainable and sustainable as well as simplifying the process to get you there.
The truth is that your body will always follow your mind. Everyone has a different goal and a different set of beliefs about what it means to look and feel healthy. Unfortunately, this crowded industry has created confusion and even lies that do not breed results even with consistency.
At the Lifted Mindset, we do things differently becuase you are different. You have a unique body with unique goals and chances are you have not been told how simple it is live in the body and in the lifestyle you desire.
We're changing the game.
We know finding trustworthy health and fitness advice can be hard to come by
we exist to change that.

With two decades of experience as a professional Fitness Trainer and Nutrition Coach, I strive to simplify the complexities surrounding diet and exercise. My focus is on making health and fitness straightforward and accessible to all individuals.
Driven by my passion for exercise and nutrition, I am dedicated to helping others unleash their full potential and become the best versions of themselves. It is evident that those who prioritize their well-being, physique, and performance often excel in various aspects of their lives.
Having worked with a diverse clientele worldwide, ranging from everyday individuals seeking weight loss to elite competitors from NHL, NBA players, former collegiate athletes, and physique competitors, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
Specializing in areas such as Fat Loss, Muscle Building, Strength Training, Sleep Optimization, Hormone Optimization, Time Management, and Mindset Development, I believe in tailoring my approach to each individual's unique needs and preferences.
I firmly believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle should not feel like a burden. You can still enjoy the foods you love while working towards your fitness goals. If you're looking for a coach who understands that variety and enjoyment are key to long-term success, then I'm here to guide you on your journey.
Every person is different, and I recognize that what works for one individual may not work for another. By customizing exercise and nutrition plans to suit your specific requirements, I aim to help you discover the approach that best fits your lifestyle and goals. Let's work together to achieve lasting results that are tailored to you.
