ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach and Transformation Specialist. Menstrual Cycle Coach, TRX Instructor
"I have been in the health and fitness industry for 16+ years. I learned my love for the gym in Kodiak in my early 20s. My passion to help people grew from there. When my first child was born in 2006, I started Heidi's Booty Camp in the little school gym of Cooper Landing, Alaska. I wanted a fun place for parents and family to gather to workout. After leaving Cooper Landing, I became certified through the International Sports Sciences Association and hold current Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and Transformation Specialist certifications. I am certified in the TRX suspension system for injury rehabilitation and sports specific athletic training. From 2011-2015 I was an Expert Level trainer at The Alaska Club Valley then moving into my own training business. In 2015 I underwent a serious life change with a shoulder surgery, then an abrupt move to Homer. I became severely depressed, gained 100 lbs, and turned to alcohol to cope. Other life events brought me into darkness I wasn't sure how to handle. At the end of 2018 I found functional medicine and learned how to heal my body. I dug myself out of depression with the help of some amazing therapists in Homer. In 2020, I took the bull by the horns and made HUGE life changes that have put me where I am today. When I say "I've been there," I mean it. Helping other people feel better is my purpose in life. I am currently working on a certification with Precision Nutrition to become a better Nutrition Coach, and a certification to become a Menstrual Cycle Coach that will allow me to work closely with my female clients to better regulate and troubleshoot their cycles (all stages of their cycle) through fitness and specific nutrition. I take a holistic approach to your health.
