For a better idea of where Body Results clients have explored, see a map of her clients adventures. Her own outdoor adventures include climbs of Kilimanjaro, Mauna Loa, Mt. Rainier, a trek across the Tongariro Alpine Crossing (with her husband AND daughter, at age 10) in New Zealand, and numerous Cascade volcanoes and peaks. She plans to do far more local exploring with the company of her new labraheeler puppy, Ajax. Philosophy of training: "We are all WIP's - Works in Progress - and no matter how much we know, there is always more we can learn, something Carol Zweck refers to as the growth mindset. At Body Results we integrate sports psychology, nutrition, conditioning, self-talk and life planning into a holistic, client-centered approach to reaching goals. Everyone coming to me is unique and deserves a personalized approach. Group training is perhaps the hardest thing I've ever done, as each person comes with different needs, knowledge and personal filters. I embrace the challenge of working past obstacles and helping people discover strengths they never knew they had. Outdoor activities give us the mental break, stimulation and challenge we all need in order to be more creative, effective, and efficient in work and play, and at Body Results we strive to develop the foundation on which all other activities of our life are based."

"I really get motivated when I work with another person who has specific goals. Virtually anything is possible when a person has the motivation. The human body has almost unlimited potential that most people only tap into 10%. I like to work with people who are not willing to accept traditional limitations and who constantly expand their own comfort zone. This is where I believe life exists." |
