From an early age, Tricia learned how essential inner strength truly was. After losing her parents as an infant and navigating years in foster care before being adopted at age 7,Tricia  experienced firsthand what it meant to grow through challenges.Though surrounded by messages that aimed to limit her potential, she chose a different path. 
One defined by determination, curiosity, and the relentless pursuit of what was possible.

That choice became the core of her philosophy:
“Your words will Not Define Me. You will Not Break Me.”

Finding Strength Through Movement
Sports became her sanctuary, a place where she could grow, express herself, and build confidence.
Running was her freedom, her meditation, and her fuel.
She excelled academically as well, finding expression in writing and art, earning recognition including an award from the House of Representatives for her 
Artistic Talent and was given the honor to display a piece of her artwork in the Bellevue Art Museum at age 15.

At 14, when life became unstable once again, Tricia was forced to navigate homelessness for a period of time. These experiences strengthened her focus and taught her the importance of direction, discipline, and the choice to rise above circumstances.
As she often says:
“We have more power than we know.”

A Life Devoted to Empowering Others
After college, Tricia felt a strong calling to give back. She volunteered in shelters, supported convalescent homes, and worked with low-income youth, helping them thrive academically, discover sports, and build confidence. She saw how powerful encouragement, structure, and belief can be in shaping a young person’s future.

The Three D’s, this shaped her lifelong values:
Discipline. Dedication. Determination.

These principles continue to guide Tricia’s work as an elite trainer today.

From Athlete to Expert
Years of competition, modeling in the sports industry, and a lifelong commitment to wellness eventually led Tricia into advanced training and rehabilitation work. After recovering from significant injuries, including a cycling accident, getting hit by a car and setbacks throughout a decade of racing Ironman, Tricia became deeply committed to studying the human anatomy and how to heal the muscular system from trauma and repetitive overload.

She earned her certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) (CPT), San Francisco School of Massage & Bodywork (SFSMB) and became one of the first group instructors at TRX Headquarters. Since then, Tricia has devoted decades to studying extensively the human anatomy, the muscular system and how it relates to everyday movement, functional biomechanics, sports-specific training, performance enhancement, and orthopedic bodywork.

Tricia’s work blends elite-level coaching with therapeutic recovery, helping clients move better, heal faster, and perform at their highest level.

Global Work With Elite Clientele
Tricia’s career has taken her around the world from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, New York, Monaco, and the French Riviera.
For 6 years, she served as 1 of only 2 trainers at the prestigious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, working with actors, musicians, global executives, world travelers, and private families.
Tricia continues to coach clients internationally, providing corrective exercises, performance training and bodywork both in-person and virtually.

“No matter who I work with, Olympians, elite performers, or individuals rebuilding their strength, my mission remains the same” –

“Empower people to access their inner strength, trust their capabilities, and build unshakable confidence in what they can achieve.”

“Your story may be different from mine, but the truth is universal, your past does not limit your potential.
Whatever your goals, recovery, transformation, high performance, or personal reinvention, I’m here to help you take the next step.”
– “I love being the change agent in the lives of so many globally”
