An interview by SDVoyager

​So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I was working as an independent contractor as a personal trainer under a gal w/a longtime business in Fallbrook. Skydiving was the passion my husband and I shared. We were competitive skydivers and had been on multiple world records, demos, a movie, and skydiving w/President Bush. He was killed. My journey began. I moved my business into my home and started teaching classes up the street from where I live. I got certified in Pilates, Yoga, & The MELT method to name a few. I have a successful business w/clients and students I love. I miss skydiving but have moved onto surfing, scuba diving & indoor flying.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Nothing smooth about it.

Just living was a struggle after James was killed. I’m grateful that I had teaching and people who cared about me. It gave me a reason to get up in the morning. Meditation also saved my life along, w/therapy to see the obstacles as “opportunities to grow” 🙂

We’d love to hear more about your business.
I get people out of pain and teach them how to stay there.

What were you like growing up?
I grew up as a shy, introverted farm girl from rural South Dakota. I loved my pony!
