WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
Most certifications
teach you one thing.
"The Saltwater Method teaches you everything."
In a single integrated program developed exclusively at Saltwater Sweat Co., you will train across seven disciplines — building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to move, coach, and lead at the highest level.
And here's what makes it truly unique: you don't have to want to teach to belong here. Every participant who completes the program walks away with their official Saltwater Method Certificate.

"The feeling right after you come out of the ocean—calm, grounded, a little salty, completely present."

With over 20 years of hands-on experience training diverse populations, from post-rehab clients and expectant mothers to competitive athletes and figure competitors, she has spent two decades learning what it actually takes to help people move, feel, and perform better.
She is a BASI Pilates-certified instructor with additional training in Stott Pilates and Balanced Body methodologies, a BOSU and TRX-certified trainer, Total Gym Gravity certified instructor, certified personal trainer, indoor cycling instructor, and a pre and postnatal specialist. A competitive figure athlete herself, she has also coached clients through their own competition prep — bringing a rare, results-driven precision to everything she programs.
