Coach Amber
As mom to two teenage daughters, a teenage son, and seasoned coach and teacher, Amber believes the only thing women shouldn’t wear is the weight of other people’s expectations and judgements. Her strong sense of devotion to empowering young women was inspired from informal youth development programs she was part of as a young person.
Favorite quote: “It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.”
― Denis Waitley
Amber believes everything starts with how we feel about ourselves, that fitness should be fun, and that wellbeing includes wellness of the whole individual. She’s the first person to suggest an adventure and loves exploring the outdoors.
Amber holds a CrossFit Kids certification, is a National Academy of Sports Medicine accredited Personal Trainer, and NASM-Performance Enhancement Specialist.
