Play Pickleball at YMCA of Bethesda-Chevy Chase (Tennis Court)

So excited to be a certified pickleball coach! Now I get to share my love of the game with you. I’m always working to boost my game, take it to the next level and reach a 5.0 rating, hovering around 4.78, and I still enjoy playing tennis, competitive ping pong, and badminton. I love being active in the sun, as being an athlete makes life more enjoyable and graceful. As a naturopathic doctor, I aim to combine my knowledge of wellness, nutrition, and the mind-body connection to help like-minded individuals elevate their game safely and effectively.

"She’s the absolute best! I’ve had a lot of pros and none have been as good at instruction and as fun! She also was able to teach both my husband and me who are on different levels!

As a certified pickleball coach, I'm passionate about sharing the joy of the game with players of all ages and skill levels -especially beginner adults and youth. Whether it's teachng fundamentals, building confidence on the court, or just getting out to move, I aim to help players grow and have fun. My coaching style is energetic, encouraging, and rooted in creating a positive learning environment where everyone feels welcome. I’m also a cyclist and really just enjoy being outdoors. My work experience includes nutrition coaching which I plan to incorporate with each lesson. I value the importance of safety first - I have a certification in adult and child CPR/First Aid. Let's have fun and learn the sport of pickleball!
