How It All Started...

.

In case we haven’t met yet, I wanted to share this fun post done by the awesome studio where I teach #lagreefitness (see the repost below or check it out on instagram).

.

I started grad school in 2007 and that was also the first year I started teaching indoor cycling classes. I got my Master’s degree in 2009 and also continued to teach fitness over the years (while I always had a medical-based speech pathology job focused on voice and swallowing as my career). Over the years, I’ve been an instructor for indoor cycling, barre, & Lagree fitness, and I had the amazing opportunity to travel around the nation as a master instructor for indoor cycling. I’ve also worked in a variety of medical settings as a speech pathologist, ranging from mobile endoscopy to ENT private practice to outpatient voice/swallowing clinic, acute care hospital, and a Voice Center. I have a HUGE passion for FITNESS, medical speech/VOICE pathology, and teaching/coaching/inspiring others. 

.

VOXFIT® was originally created because of PASSION, experience living in both the medical and fitness “worlds”, and a research study I did involving fitness professionals & voice use (check it out at https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2020_PERSP-19-00018).  I was inspired to conduct the research because I saw so many fitpros as voice patients in the clinic, and I was also seeing many instructors I knew or trained who reported voice issues or questions. The study highlighted the importance of vocal seminars to provide education to fitpros in order to prevent voice injury in these passionate and driven occupational voice users with consistent high vocal demand and little to no vocal training.

.

I’m incredibly grateful that I get to turn my PASSIONS into careers everyday in all the “worlds” I live in—whether it be the voice/swallowing clinic, within fitness studios I teach at, &/or within my small business VOXFIT (helping, rehabilitating, &/or coaching occupational voice users, especially fitpros). I am extremely GRATEFUL to be powered by PASSION & PURPOSE, AND extremely grateful for every day I’m given to make a difference in the lives of others.
