Health and Fitz-ness was born in 1998—while I was pregnant with my daughter, Caroline. What started as a leap of faith into entrepreneurship during motherhood became a lifelong mission to help others live stronger, healthier, and more balanced lives. From the very beginning, my philosophy has been simple: lead by example, not perfection.
Now, 26 years later, life has come full circle. The same baby I was carrying when Health and Fitz-ness began is now my business partner. Together, Caroline and I are building the next chapter—bringing you a dream team of personal training, group and online classes, cooking classes, wellness retreats, educational workshops, and real-food recipes that make healthy living feel natural and joyful.
Health, to us, isn’t just about workouts and meals. It’s about living fully—hiking, biking, traveling, cooking, and laughing with family and friends. It’s about energy, confidence, and connection.
With over 30 years in the health and fitness world, I’ve seen countless trends come and go, but what truly lasts is consistency, education, and evolution. With Caroline now part of Health and Fitz-ness, we’re blending experience and innovation to help you build strength, confidence, and a life that feels good—inside and out.
Health isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you live.

Did you know that you are 95% more likely to accomplish your goals with an accountability partner?
We’re here to support and inspire you through every step and help you reach your highest potential. Individually, it’s difficult to push or motivate yourself as much as an outside influence can, and that’s what we excel in; helping you to be your best. Programs vary anywhere from once a month to 5 days a week and range from 30-60 minutes depending on your individual needs.
“Hands down the best way to start the day - challenge, sweat, and TONS of laughs with Thea and the Whine Cellar crew!" ~Becky G.
“Thea is the perfect trainer! She has the right amount of energy and empathy to help us all the way through a workout that is productive and fun. I promise you will want to work harder, stronger and faster just for her. The cooking classes are also fantastic. Not only is her kitchen gorgeous and set up perfectly for guests to actively participate and socialize, but the recipes are yummy and so easy to replicate at home." ~Tiffany C.
