Cari is certified through Barbell Rehab — so she can coach you to lift heavy safely, even with a history of pain or injury, and coach Olympic lifting and functional fitness.
Strength training that works around pain and injury history — smart load management, movement modifications, and confidence under the bar.
Olympic lifts (snatch, clean & jerk) plus high-intensity functional fitness — coached, scaled, and modified for every body, even around pain or mobility limits.
I spent years dealing with health issues until I decided to take back control of how I felt. Strength training changed everything — not just my body, but my confidence. Now I help others do the same.
