Amy
She/HER

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."

-Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn

A native of Durham, North Carolina, Amy has been moved by a passion for fitness and activity since childhood. While she has always sought out ways to keep her body in motion, her discovery of strength training in her early 30s transformed her perspective on physical resilience. This personal evolution led her to earn her Personal Training Certification, bridging the gap between movement and empowerment.

Beyond the studio, Amy is a Mental Health Therapist, a role that deeply informs her approach to teaching. She believes that the mind and body are inextricably linked, and she views the mat and the gym as powerful spaces to practice mindfulness, build emotional resilience, and foster a deeper mind-body connection. Her classes are designed to be both challenging and grounding, helping students cultivate a sense of inner strength that mirrors their physical progress.

When she isn't working with clients or teaching, Amy loves soaking up quality time with her fiancé and friends. Whether they are exploring the local Durham scene or staying active outdoors, she finds her greatest balance in community and connection.
