Introduction: Helping people to improve their overall quality of life, whatever that means to each individual, has become my passion. This is what inspired me to go back to school and I am currently getting my master's in occupational therapy at EWU. In my spare time I enjoy many types of dancing, hiking, stand-up paddling, skiing, traveling and yoga. No matter what your fitness goal is, I am excited to help you achieve it!
I have over 9 years of experience as a personal trainer and I have done 3 certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine including CPT (certified personal trainer), PES (performance enhancement specialist) and CES (corrective exercise specialist). I also have my B.S. in exercise science.
Health and fitness have always been very important to me. Becoming a trainer seemed like a perfect fit for me, and I have loved working with people of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities to help them achieve their fitness goals. I enjoy training all types of clients with goals including weight loss, strength, flexibility, injury rehabilitation, pre-post natal, sport specific or just overall health. I have more recently had extensive experience training those in need of assistance correcting postural issues, muscle imbalances and rehabilitation for injuries or post-surgery rehabilitation, and other special populations.
My favorite part of what I do is the moment a client realizes their potential and to see them become empowered. It is truly inspiring to see. I have also become good friends with many former clients and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to train so many amazing people throughout my career. I take my job very seriously and I understand the trust my clients put in me. That said, I like to make it fun as well. I am a motivator and an encourager, not a drill sargent. When my clients accomplish something they never thought they could do on their own, that is what drives me to be the best trainer I can be.

I have had the pleasure of training with Selena for the past six months. I'm a 24 year old female in Spokane. I played sports in high school and college, and as many of you know the older and busier you get the harder it is to work out as you should. Before meeting Selena I was intimidated and unenthusiastic about cross training and lifting. Selena is a perfect mixture of motivation and friendliness. She designed workouts to what I needed to work on, as well as paid attention to my injuries (sustained from sports) to make sure we worked on strengthening weak areas without damaging existing injuries. This is no cookie cutter training session! I got stronger, toned, and agile quickly. I even brought my mother to sessions and had a mini boot camp! She worked with my busy schedule, and truly makes a difference in overall health and we'll being. Selena is the best, no doubt about it!

I have been an avid fan of regular exercise for most of my adult life. But, for various reasons I was never quite able to achieve my fitness goals. I had tried multiple types of exercise routines, diets, and hired half a dozen different trainers, but never quite got to where I wanted to be. Just when I was about ready to give up, I met Selena and after a brief consultation, decided to give her a try. I have to say that at first, I was skeptical because her methods were different to anything I had been shown before. But, using her unique combination of core and strength training, stretching and flexibility exercises, and cardio, she was able to help me reach both my strength and weight goals in a relatively short period of time. I now look and feel better than I have in years! And, just for the record, I recently celebrated my 52nd birthday. I regret losing her as a trainer but, I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about reaching their fitness goals!

I came to Selena seeking personal training. I had her as a dance teacher and it lit my fire to want to be in shape. I looked up to her and her energy (still do!!). I had a lower back/hip nerve set back. It was debilitating. I became very limited on what I could. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong. Neither could countless physical therapy sessions, chiropractic sessions and massage. Although those fields are healing and helpful, it just wasn't working for me. Selena worked with me from day one! She had me do different exercises, really paid attention to my form and helped me understand correct posture in different movements. She noticed my struggles and had me stop for a few minutes. We discussed some anatomical struggles, and she showed me specific stretches for certain areas that were troubling me. I took her advice and did those stretches at home. I couldn't believe it. The next day I was able to get out of bed without struggling. I could get out of chairs without my lower back and hip seizing up. ALL with a few simple stretching tactics. Those stretches launched me into exercising and doing things I love again. Selena is the most humble trainer and friend. She truly cares about your health and wellness. Selena wants you to succeed and encourages you to reach your ultimate goals. I look forward to continual training with Selena. She doesn't promote superficial images. She promotes YOUR wellness and confidence.
Signed,
A forever grateful client/friend
