I have worked with various people over the years, from ages 14 to 80’s, whether it be improving sport specific performance or improving your quality of life. I love working with those who are pregnant or postpartum (no matter how many years) and empowering them to keep their strength during and after pregnancy and making your recovery smoother. Whether you are just starting out or have been exercising for years, I can help you reach your fullest potential in creating an overall healthy lifestyle that works for YOU and helps you become the best version of yourself.

Hi, I’m Jesa, Health & Wellness Director here at the Westview YMCA! My fitness journey began over 20 years ago when I reluctantly signed up for personal training sessions. I didn’t expect much, but those sessions ended up transforming my body, my mindset, and ultimately, my career. I discovered the mental and emotional benefits of strength training, learned to listen to my body, and felt empowered in ways I never expected. That experience led me to pursue a career in personal training, and over the years, my passion for helping others has only grown. While I no longer coach youth sports like I once did (go, baseball moms!), I still carry that same coach’s heart into every session, class, and conversation. I want people to feel seen for who they are, valued for what they bring, and supported in their pursuit of wellness on their terms. As the Health & Wellness Director, I’m deeply committed to making sure each member at Westview feels welcomed, empowered, and capable of achieving goals they may have once thought were out of reach. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or pushing toward a new milestone, I’m here to help you believe in yourself every step of the way. Because a life changed through wellness? That’s a life worth celebrating.

I Started in my journey in my early 40s, then struck with breast cancer when I was 47.  I was blessed it was caught early.  My husband became a personal trainer and I followed suit. We both decided we did not want to live our older years being on pharmaceutical and decided to take a healthy approach of weightlifting and cardio. I received my certification through NASM I am also a woman’s specialist and flexibility coach.   I plan to do this into my elderly years so when I do retire full-time I wish to keep active and help others do the same. Stay active and eat healthy!

Hi there! My name is Bailey. I’ve been part of the Westview YMCA family since August 2022, working in a variety of roles—including membership, youth sports, youth & family programs, and health & wellness. I recently got my personal training certification in June 2025 through ACE. The YMCA truly feels like a second home to me, and I’d be honored to help you find your own place and routine here. Let’s get started on your journey!

I am a completive powerlifter. I am in the Hall of Fame in the association I belong to. I also was Over-All Athlete of the Year, which you can only receive once. I have been doing this for about 22 years. I am a referee an have run several powerlifitng meets. I have helped train some of my teammates.

With over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, I bring a deep passion for helping others live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Psychology, as well as a Master of Science in Health Services Administration from Creighton University. I truly care about my clients and take pride in supporting them wherever they are on their health journey. For me, living a healthy lifestyle goes beyond just running or lifting weights, it's about balance. That includes stretching, eating nutritious foods, and getting the restorative sleep your body needs. I enjoy helping people discover what their bodies are capable of, whether they're young and active or recently diagnosed with chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease. It takes motivation, determination, and consistency to succeed, and while the path isn't always easy, I believe every individual has the power to overcome challenges. At the Y, we believe in strengthening community, and I love being part of a team that helps individuals grow stronger—physically, mentally, and socially.
