I have been with Erica and Knocked-Up Fitness and Wellness since 2012 as the Art Director. My role is maintaining the website and creating/designing a variety of the program materials (like workout PDFs and coursebooks etc.)

I love being creative and designing new things.

I love to go on waterfall hikes around Portland and use nature as a way to stay active. I like to challenge myself with multiple rounds of Whole30 (I’ve completed 4 rounds so far which is something I never thought I would be able to accomplish). Essential oils are also a big part of my life. I use them daily and feel it helps my emotional/mental health.

No – it really wasn’t until we moved to Oregon 4 years old that I started being more active and getting out in nature and it wasn’t until I was pregnant with my second child that I started becoming more aware of what I was putting on and in my body (I’m still a huge work in progress hah!)

I like the upper body workouts. My kids are heavy so they help me feel stronger and like I can hold them longer! I also get arm pain often from being hunched over at a computer all day, so the stretching of my arms feels amazing.

Recently I have been trying to focus on better posture since I work at a computer all day long. I feel like core work and posture go hand-in-hand.

With my job, 2 kids and another one on the way it’s definitely hard! We have been cooking at home a lot more that we used to which allows us to cook healthier meals and make better choices. We also have been trying to get out into nature on the weekends and do more activities that require being active as a family.

I am a work in progress and it’s okay if you are too. I am still learning and still trying to make a healthy lifestyle a priority. We are all at different levels of our wellness journey, and it’s okay to still be learning!
