Slimm Thicc Method Creator
Dancer turned lifter, NASM-certified trainer, and the creator of the Slimm Thicc Method — built to help you find the same strength and confidence she did.
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved moving. I enjoy almost anything where I can move my body. As a kid, my parents tried to get me into sports, but I preferred dance class over kicking a ball around a field. For about 15 years I was enrolled in dance classes, workshops, competitions, and completely fell in love with this artform and exercise. Dance literally shaped me, physically and emotionally. A lot of people who know me now wouldn’t assume that I grew up an extremely shy and quiet little girl. Dance has played a huge role in building my confidence level to what it is now.
In 2018 I moved from Massachusetts to Los Angeles to pursue my love for dance and along the way discovered that I had a passion for lifting. I had been lifting and working out strictly since I was 19, but only began to seriously go after it upon moving to California. I realized that being strong would help me with dance, my well-being, and especially my confidence. I felt liberated by this, and wanted to give this knowledge to others so they could gain confidence like I had.
“Being strong would help me with dance, my well-being, and especially my confidence.”
With a newfound direction, she earned her NASM certification and became a personal trainer — driven by a desire to help people gain the strength and confidence she’d found through transforming their bodies and testing their own perceived limits.
She started out at Gold’s Gym, which humbled her and helped her gain real, hands-on experience with clients and other professionals in the industry.
Furloughed from her job, she was forced to find her own way — training clients over Zoom on a weekly basis, then out in the park or at home gyms once quarantine orders lifted.
She leveled up her training skills with the Show Up Fitness internship, cultivating hands-on methods through experiential learning — then joined as a trainer while still growing her own client base.
The name Slimm Thicc came from an idea from a friend and workout partner during the pandemic. Slimm Thicc is a body type that is popularly pursued by many women, but I see it as more than just a body type to be achieved — it’s also a mindset that I hope my clients can pick up from training with me. The idea is the balance of being confident yet humble. I feel like many people, and often women specifically, struggle with recognizing their power and greatness, allowing others to walk all over them. I say this from direct experience with myself. But building muscle and holding my own at the gym has given me more confidence to get out of that old mindset and take charge of my life. I want that for everyone, especially all the ladies who grew up as shy little girls, and didn’t want to take up too much space or get in anyone’s way. Through strength training, I want to encourage my clients to get out of their own way, take up the space they deserve, and shape them into their own, individual, confident, Slimm Thicc baddie.
