Welcome to Sapo Wellness!
Where Mind Meets Muscle
online & in-person mental health & wellness support for those built different.
support for people who never stop.
You're holding it all together. But what's holding YOU?
Maybe you're crushing goals and checking boxes. Maybe you're just trying to survive the week. Either way, you're running on empty - managing everyone's needs, juggling all the responsibilities, keeping all the plates spinning while yours keeps cracking.
Still, you’ve persevered.
With grit and fortitude you've kept going - through the career demands, family needs, endless obligations... yet something still feels like it's missing.
At Sapo Wellness we get into that in-between space - the space that exists between handling everything and actually feeling and believing you're okay. Our goal is to get you to a place where you feel like you can finally breathe. Finally trust yourself. Finally move with full, embodied confidence instead of wearing masks to match the many hats you wear. With our support, you'll learn how to implement routines and habits to maximize your life.
Let us take you from frazzled to focused.
you deserve to feel your wins.

Who you’re working with
As someone who understands both the weight room and the mental health space, I know that peak life performance isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about mental resilience, emotional balance, and getting comfortable in your own skin - especially when things are tough.
I specialize in lifting the weight off your shoulders by spotting patterns you might miss and making real-time adjustments that eliminate decision fatigue. My background as a therapist, athlete, scientist, and coach provides me the insight to create a streamlined support system that simplifies your path forward. You bring the overwhelm; I bring the clarity and structure that makes everything feel manageable again.
The bottom line: I’m here to help you strengthen your mental game so you can thrive in the every day moments that matter.
