Michelle is originally from Alaska and has lived the last 24 years here in Oregon. She loves being outdoors and lives a pretty active life. She has a BS in Education and has taught everything from preschool to high school. She worked the last 10 years as a Realtor. She has since retired and now focuses on teaching yoga and coaching CrossFit. After practicing yoga for 6 years she decided to become a certified yoga teacher by completing a 200 hour program locally. When she started practicing yoga she saw the benefits crossing over into her CrossFit performance. Increased mobility, flexibility, balance, and breath work helps with quicker recovery and more control in lifting. She feels that yoga and CrossFit are such a great combination that she decided to get her CrossFit L1 certification.

HOW I STARTED CROSSFIT:

I was introduced to CrossFit in 2014 by my husband but was busy with my career and daughter so I didn’t really get heavily involved until 2017. I did my first open that year and got hooked. I love seeing my progress each year and actually made the online age group qualifier in 2021. It is amazing to see the transformations that occur in both body and mind as you take control of your health and well being.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT COACHING:

What I love most about coaching is helping people reach their full potential. Whether it is offering help with fine tuning movements, offering mobility advice or just cheering someone on, I love seeing people succeed.

I have always been pretty active in many different sports from ultimate frisbee to swimming to dressage, but crossfit is by far my favorite.
