A former competitive powerlifter, Sahara brings a methodical, holistic approach and combines strength, nutrition, and behavior-change coaching in her 1:1s.

A firm believer in staying connected and committed to the process, she guides clients into finding new ways to stay motivated week after week.

Outside the gym, Sahara loves "type 2 fun," the kind that sounds terrible in the moment and becomes the best story later. She's always looking for her next challenge, (or digging around in her garden).
