I believe endurance is built through purpose, resilience, and science-driven coaching tailored to you. With 16+ years of coaching experience, Master's degrees in Exercise Science and Sports Psychology, and extensive firsthand ultrarunning experience, I blend physiology, mindset, strength, and recovery into individualized coaching. My approach is relationship first, helping athletes of all levels train smarter, perform better, and enjoy the journey.

At Rise Ultra Coaching, we believe coaching is more than writing workouts, it’s about building a partnership that empowers athletes to rise in body, mind, and confidence. Our philosophy blends science, psychology, and community to help trail and ultra runners reach new levels of performance and self-belief.

By combining evidence-based training with mental skills, strength, and recovery strategies, we prepare athletes not just for the miles ahead, but for the inevitable challenges and breakthroughs along the way.

As a female-led and science-driven team, we draw on the strengths of empathy, adaptability, and resilience to create inclusive, individualized coaching that supports every athlete, of every gender and experience level, on their journey to rise beyond limits.
