I joined KUMA in April 2022 when my good friend, Shannon, asked me if I would consider doing Foundations with her. I was close to turning 50 and hadn’t focused on fitness in a long time. It was hard, but the KUMA vibe and community kept me coming back. I got stronger and more confident after each class. Outside the studio, I spend time needle felting for my own small art business, experimenting with sourdough, brewing my own kombucha and spending time with my wonderful husband and kids.
