aRoundJoy Founder/Owner/Instructor

Hi, there! I’d love to work with you, sister…but first, a little something about me…

I started getting healthier, at the age of 47, from the very first day I picked up a hoop! Today, I’m still very passionate about helping make that same thing happen for all women “of a certain age”…aging is inevitable, but growing up is optional! 

After 15 years in business, I have trained well over 1,000 clients how to hoop. During that time, I also worked in corporate wellness/fitness, with local school districts, and with various charitable organizations, businesses & groups.

Today, I’ve almost entirely pivoted this business online. At 64, I have some health challenges (Vestibular Migraine & PPPD/Anxiety primarily), yet hooping helps me SO much, that I still focus on serving women, like myself, in midlife – from all over the U.S. – helping them add this joyful, gentle, relaxing movement into their lives. I make and ship custom hoops to each client, as well as train and mentor these women through my exclusive online instruction, which includes a signature course & group coaching membership! In-person hoop instruction is also available, if needed, when requested by local clients. 

A little history….

In 2009, I created aRoundJoy®  in Arlington, TX and also opened The HoopShack® – my original indoor/outdoor concept hooping facility, the first and only one in Texas. It was originally at a warehouse, then it was at an office space. Lastly, my small hoop studio was at our guest house, until recently. Today, the spirit of “The Shack” (as we lovingly call it) lives on at my home or wherever I’m teaching. I continue to offer handmade custom hoops, plus limited, private/small group in-person hoop training sessions locally, by appointment only. I also offer online hoop training/coaching to clients, for on-going support and mentoring.
