Who I work with

I meet you where you are.
We build from there — together.

New to exercise

Starting from exactly where you are

Getting started is about so much more than working out. We'll explore all aspects of your wellness goals together, building a foundation that's sustainable, enjoyable, and designed around your real life.

Post-injury & PT

Moving safely after injury or surgery

Returning to wellness after injury takes a thoughtful, whole-body approach. Alongside your medical team, we address movement and the lifestyle goals that support your full recovery and long-term wellbeing.

Mature adults

Staying strong for the life you love

True wellness is about having the energy, confidence, and independence to do the things that matter most to you. Together we'll look at all aspects of your health and wellness goals to help you live fully at every age.

Perimenopause & menopause

Working with your body, not against it

Perimenopause and menopause affect every part of your life. Together we take a whole-person approach, looking at movement, stress, sleep, and lifestyle so your program truly supports how you feel.

Pre & postnatal

Supporting your body before and after baby

Your wellness during pregnancy and motherhood goes far beyond exercise. Together we'll look at your whole picture: movement, recovery, and lifestyle goals, at a pace that truly honors your body and where you are in your journey.

About Mimi

20+ years of helping women move better, feel stronger, live fuller.

My journey as a health and wellness coach began right here in Washington. After earning my degree in Exercise Sports Science from Western Washington University and my master's in Health Education from Columbia University, I've spent over two decades helping women build strength, confidence, and independence, in their homes and on their terms. I've had the privilege of working with clients in both New York City and Seattle, bringing a breadth of experience across communities, cultures, and needs.

I'm a proud mother of two based in Edmonds, and I believe deeply in teamwork, communication, and collaboration. Outside of work I'm a creative at heart. I find joy in floral design, tending my cut flower garden, cooking, and making art. I'm also an avid traveler and a passionate advocate for students with diverse learning profiles.

What people are saying

Real women. Real results.

"Mimi's steady guidance, expertise and encouragement helped me regain significant strength after emergency back surgery. She keeps me focused on goals, tracks progress in a meaningful way, and her exercise routines constantly evolve as my ability increases. Most of all, she is a pleasure and joy to be with."

Jan S. | Retired

"Mimi helped me regain strength, flexibility, and balance after a back injury. She helped me learn to listen to my body. She emphasizes form and safety over the 'just gut it out' mentality. After 10 sessions, I'm back to trusting my body and doing the things I love."

In-home training

What equipment or space do I need? +
Not much. I work with what you have: resistance bands, small weights, or household items. A clear area like your living room is all the space we need.
Over time I may recommend investing in a few basics, but nothing is required to get started.
Where do you travel for in-home sessions? +
I serve the greater Seattle area, including Edmonds, Seattle, Mercer Island, the Eastside, and Southern Snohomish County. A $20 travel fee applies outside my standard service area. Not sure if you're in range? Just reach out.

Virtual training

What do I need for virtual sessions? +
A device with a camera (phone, tablet, or laptop), a stable internet connection, and space to move. We'll use Zoom or whatever works best for you. Equipment is helpful but never required.
Can I switch between in-home and virtual? +
Absolutely. Many clients mix both depending on their schedule or season..
Both programs include a monthly personalized workout plan, behavior change and habit goal-setting, text messaging with set hours, email access anytime, and a monthly progress review.
