Coach Yvette found her passion for bodybuilding after realizing that half marathons and bootcamp classes weren’t delivering the lean, muscular physique she wanted. Inspired by the strong, confident women on the bodybuilding stage, she shifted her focus from simply "losing weight" to building muscle—and never looked back. Discovering the world of macro tracking and resistance training changed her life. She dove into learning everything she could about nutrition and training, and fell in love with the process of building strength through fueling her body with whole, nutrient-dense foods.
In 2016, Yvette stepped on the NPC stage with FitBody Fusion for the first time—and walked away with her first national qualification. That moment sparked a fire that still burns today. Her dedication and discipline ultimately led her to earn her IFBB Pro Card in the Bikini division in 2022, a testament to her commitment both as an athlete and coach.
With over 8 years of experience coaching women, Yvette works with a wide range of clients—from NPC Fit Model, Bikini, and Wellness competitors to lifestyle clients and wellness-focused individuals. Her approach centers on creating sustainable strategies that empower clients to nourish their bodies, achieve their goals, and maintain their results long-term. Whether you’re aiming for the stage or seeking a deeper connection to your body through strength and movement, Yvette meets you where you are with a customized approach built around your unique needs.
Her style is flexible, focused, and deeply personalized. Yvette encourages transparency and open communication so she can craft the most effective plan for your lifestyle—whether that means training three times a week or six, eating three meals or five. She believes that success comes from structure, yes, but also from freedom—freedom to enjoy your food, love your body, and grow without restriction.
A seasoned competitor herself, Yvette is deeply passionate about stage presence. She personally guides her athletes through posing practice, from deep in the off-season through peak week, ensuring they not only bring their best physiques but showcase them with confidence.
Outside of coaching and training, you can find Yvette exploring art galleries and coffee shops, collecting tattoos, and traveling with her boyfriend and puppy.
