Meet the AIM Fitness & Nutrition team

Before I found fitness, I was intimidated by the gym. I was self-conscious, stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, and believed that being “skinny” was the ultimate goal. That mindset began to shift when I joined a gym in Lincoln, Nebraska and fell in love with bootcamp-style workouts and group fitness. The energy, the support, the way I felt after each session-it all opened the door to something bigger. I eventually became a group fitness instructor, then a certified personal trainer. Even in my early years as a registered dietitian, I thought nutrition meant following strict rules and cutting out foods. But that rigid approach left me feeling physically drained and mentally exhausted. I knew something had to change. Through education, experience, and a lot of personal growth, I learned how to rebuild my relationship with food and my body. And now, helping others do the same is my passion. At AIM Fitness & Nutrition, my goal is to create a space where people feel welcomed, encouraged, and never judged. A place where “perfect” isn’t the standard-progress is. Whether you’re starting over or starting for the first time, you deserve a supportive environment where you can focus on you-getting stronger, inside and out.

I’ve been active my whole life—playing every sport I could until I eventually focused on softball and strength training. Even after burning out before college, I stayed committed to movement by training for half marathons, circuit lifting, and intramural sports while earning my engineering degree.

For 15 years, I worked in construction, got married, and became a mom—all while keeping fitness and nutrition part of my life. But after years of high stress and major life transitions, I didn’t recognize myself physically or mentally. After having my second child and battling postpartum depression, I found myself at my lowest.

That’s when I found Erica and AIM. Her support changed everything—helping me rebuild my health, self-worth, and confidence. Now, as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, I get to guide other women on their journeys—helping them feel strong, capable, and empowered in their own skin.
