Care began as a nickname in high school that stuck, and over time it has grown into something much more meaningful. As a lifelong runner and a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 20 years of experience, I help endurance athletes move better and stay healthy in the sport they love. The more people I taught how to come back stronger after injury, find joy in running, or work toward goals they once thought was out of reach, the name became a reflection of my approach: running with intention, patience, and care.

I went on to become UESCA certified as a run and strength coach then created RUN with CARE to support runners at every stage of their journey — especially beginners, injured runners, and those preparing to take on a new distance for the first time.

I know that starting or returning to running can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re recovering from an injury, nervous about where to begin, or wondering if your body can handle longer miles. My goal is to make running feel approachable, sustainable, and rewarding. Through individualized coaching, movement-focused training, and gradual progression, I help runners build confidence along with endurance.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, returning after time away, or preparing for your first half marathon or marathon, RUN with CARE is about meeting you where you are and helping you move forward safely and confidently.

Because running isn’t just about going farther — it’s about learning how to care for your body while you do it.
