Bio:

Elizabeth’s first experience with human movement began at the age of five when she learned to figure skate and cross-country ski, in the backwoods of Canada.  She eventually left the ice and snow to pursue a career in the biotech industry in San Diego, utilizing her Ph.D. degree in Medicinal Chemistry.  Elizabeth is co-author of several dozen research papers and patents describing new drugs for cancer, antibacterial and viral disease targets. While working in the biotech industry Elizabeth discovered rock climbing and endurance cycling. Her passion to help people ‘hands-on’ improve the quality of their life through fitness grew so great that she decided to leave the biotech industry.  Her first step along this new career path was obtaining her yoga teacher certification at the White Lotus Foundation. She later went on to become a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor.  Besides, training clients at Zoom, Elizabeth teaches corporate fitness classes and indoor cycling classes. Elizabeth loves to challenge her clients bringing about life-changing transformations.  On the weekends, Elizabeth can be found training for cycling events and marathons with both clients and friends.
