About Bobbi

Currently, I am working towards my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
I have been a Certified Run Coach for about 5 years, but have been running since I was very young.
I've been a Personal Trainer for 10 + years, specializing in injury prevention and athlete performance.

I am a Licensed Sports Massage Therapist and have been practicing for 3+ years.

I started running in elementary school and went on to run in college and specialize in the 600m and 800m.
I continued to run semi - professional after college.
I've competed in the 200m dash all the way to a 50K!

Coaching Philosophy

I take a very hands on approach, and currently only work with 10 -15 athletes maximum so you
get personalized support.

I am here every step of the way, from having a bad workout, to achieving your best road race time yet!
The lows will come throughout training, just as the highs do, but I'll be there for both.
I help strategize and problem solve through injury prevention strength training, visualization and confidence building,
and working as a team!

I am a passionate, optimistic, and I love seeing my athletes do their best!
I believe no goal is too big and I primarily work with runners who have hit a dead end in improvement,
or are just looking to take their running and competitive nature to the next level!
I love helping runner's build confidence in themselves and ignite their fire again!
