I'm an Idaho native, and have been interested in health and wellness since childhood. I was born into a family that was pulled to ultra-marathon runs every other weekend where I'd put up with no internet and long drives. This soon turned into an appreciation for running as I began to realize the impact that it's had on my mom's life. It showed me the benefits of pushing yourself around other like-minded people, but most importantly, the achievement of pushing yourself past your limits. All of which is best done when you prepare, and fuel your body the best you can. This inspired me to pursue my education in psychology and kinesiology and pushed me from dreading race weekends to having race weekends of my own. I have been a certified personal trainer for 2 years and a flexologist since July 2024.

Growing up playing sports, Aly developed a passion for movement and wellness—especially after going through several injuries of her own. Those experiences inspired her to learn more about the human body and how to keep it healthy and strong. She hopes to specialize in sports physical therapy and is also excited to dive deeper into pelvic health. In her free time, Aly enjoys snowboarding, working out, and staying active. She has two years of experience as a physical therapy tech and has coached volleyball for two years.
