About

Ali’s background is rooted in the psychology and mental health space. After graduating from West Virginia University, she started her career at WVU Medicine working to helping patients at an eating disorder clinic. She moved to a dual diagnosis unit (co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders), and later, she returned back to New York where she worked to help at-risk youth with mental health disorders.

Ali has always been an athlete and has been passionate about fitness since she was a young girl sprinting down the soccer field. After giving birth to her son in 2014, she decided it was time to pursue fitness full time. She studied through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), attending workshops and learning from some of the industry’s best, such as Dr. Rick Richey at the Independent Training Spot in Manhattan.
