Hi! I'm Monica Carlton

​

I'm an Exercise Physiologist with a background in cardiac rehabilitation, which means I've seen the strong connection between exercise and health. That background also gives me a unique, real-life perspective on the impact our daily choices have on our quality of life as we age.

 

I'm also a Certified Personal Trainer with an emphasis on strength training and cardiovascular exercise for moms who want to truly enjoy their life. This means I like to see women feel strong, confident, alive, sexy, capable, driven, committed and generally being the badasses they are (whatever that looks like to them).

​

I am a mom of two (a 9-year old and almost 2 year old), which means I understand the challenges moms face as we try to manage it all. I share with the desire to feel good in your body, physically and emotionally, even through its changes.

​

I am a strong advocate for developing a healthy, balanced lifestyle in order to feel your best, not a quick fix or short term commitment.​​ 

 

I focus on making positive change, living in a balanced way that lets you feel in control of your body and health, living in the moment, and working on self-love in order to make those changes last.
