SCHOOL NAME

My name is Clara (she/her), and I’m a certified personal trainer with a background in psychology and motivation science. I completed my master’s degree in psychology at Rutgers University and am now pursuing a Master of Industrial Relations here at Queen’s. I’m passionate about helping people build strength, confidence, and a positive relationship with health and fitness. Having grown up playing a variety of sports, I also love working with athletes to achieve their goals. I understand that starting (or restarting!) a fitness journey can feel daunting. My approach focuses on building self-efficacy, creating a supportive environment, and helping clients develop the confidence and skills to feel comfortable in the gym. Whether you are new to strength training, looking to take your training to the next level, or working toward a specific goal, I’d be honoured to be part of your journey!
