ABOUT THE OWNER/INSTRUCTOR

After the birth of my nephew, my sister Julie joined a Stroller Strides group near her home in San Francisco; not only because it was a great workout, but because she was able to meet so many wonderful women who shared a love of motherhood and fitness. I, not yet a mother, still loved going to class with her when I visited. It's much much more than just a walk in the park... I was amazed at the workout we got!

When she moved to the Sacramento area, and joined another local Stroller Strides group, it suddenly was up for sale and she took over ownership in March of 2009. She has been thriving ever since. Many of the wonderful women I've met in her classes have told me how much easier it was to recover from the birth of their second child (physically and emotionally) because they were already taking Stroller Strides classes with their first child, and had an established network of caring mothers and friends. I decided "I want that with my first!"

I was a dancer for 20 years and dance instructor for 5 years before I started teaching pilates and aerobics classes here in Chico. I have taught Tiny Tots Tumbling and Bitty Ballerina classes as well. I graduated from CSU Chico with a degree in Small Business Management in the spring of 2008, and am loving putting all of it together with Stroller Strides! I'll make sure that you not only get a fantastic workout, but that your children enjoy the ride as well! We'll sing songs, do "tickle relays" and lots of other fun activities to keep your child entertained, and you burning calories!
