Always an encourager, Anne has lived most of what she coaches. A non-athlete in her youth, she ran her first mile at age 27. Thirty years later she ran her first 26.2 mile marathon smiling the whole way. In between were years of self discovery about fitness, business and life purpose.

Her greatest joy is sharing the journey of another who is seeking change.

In the fitness and wellness arena she has 25 years of experience. She is an expert in exercise prescription and programming. She has successfully worked with hundreds of people as a group exercise leader, personal trainer, weight management consultant, workshop presenter and marathon coach. She helps clients discover their personal motivations to be successful in reaching and maintaining their goals.

In business Anne has been a willing learner in each job opportunity. She has stepped boldly into business as supervisor of a major School of Medical Technology, a Jazzercise franchise owner, a ten year business partnership in a fitness facility, a medical office manager and most currently as a solo entrepreneur in coaching. She keeps her work interesting by annually re-writing her own job description so that she is challenged to continue to grow and vision. A 2005 graduate of Coach U, she has developed her business into that of coaching life transition, small business and fitness.

Anne's "work" is just a small portion of her life. In 2006 she and her husband moved to another state from the home, friends and all that had been familiar to them for thirty-two years. This was part of a five year vision to downsize expenses, workload and possessions. Since this move both their adult children have married and they have one grand daughter. Three things: moving to a new state, being a grandmother and having a dog that partners with Anne in pet therapy have had the greatest influence on her current work, play and volunteer activities. A picture on the wall by Anne's desk reads "Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life."

"Self discovery of life purpose has come through the many opportunities afforded me in my adult life. As a wife I have been encouraged to be who I want to be and have been validated every step of the way. As a mother I have learned to teach, model, and then let go when it is time. As an employee I have learned how to see my role as team member in my daily routine. As business partner and facility owner I discovered a business can't run on passion without systems. As a volunteer and church leader I am continually learning what it means to give from the heart. I am thankful for the spirit within me that continually challenges me to cultivate my gifts and talents and grow. I am greatly enjoying each step of this journey called life."

Her mission statement:
to be light to those seeking peace, purpose, and joy
