As a healthcare and ministry leader, I’m passionate about discovering avenues of creative healing and wholeness for myself and others! CrossFit uniquely challenges us beyond physical fitness; it’s an opportunity for deeper mental, emotional, and spiritual strength if desired and allowed. In my experience, there’s a refined transformation happening within the walls of Parakaleo CrossFit. It’s a healing hub in our town, connecting and strengthening us in amazing ways!
