High-Energy. Heart-Led. Spirit-Fueled.

I’m a Kansas City native, proud Aboriginal Indigenous American Indian woman, mom of four, entrepreneur, Founder & Executive Head Fly Coach of Bungee Up® Fit & Fly Studio—the flagship studio of Fit & Fly Industries™—and founder of America’s first 100% Black woman-owned bungee fitness studio and Missouri’s first dedicated bungee fitness studio.

I believe experiencing daily joy, fun, and laughter is a requirement of living life to its fullest.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with movement…

If you’ve ever walked into a gym and felt like you didn’t belong…

If you’ve ever convinced yourself that fitness just “wasn’t your thing”…

Then we already have something in common.

Because that was me.

I didn’t build Bungee Up® because I loved fitness.

In fact…

I hated fitness.

Not because I didn’t want to be healthy…

The connection was missing.

I couldn’t find a fitness experience that made me feel seen, excited, or inspired to come back.

So I built one.

I built Bungee Up® because I believed everyone deserved to find movement that loved them back.

As a little girl, I loved tumbling. There was something about flying through the air that made me feel alive. Years later, when I discovered bungee fitness in 2016, it awakened those same feelings I hadn’t experienced since childhood. It reminded me that movement could be playful, joyful, and free.

But my life looked very different then. I was married, raising young children, navigating pregnancies, and putting everyone else’s needs before my own.

Still…

I never let go of the vision.

In 2019, I began researching the industry, studying emerging business models, and pitching gyms throughout the Kansas City metro. After nearly a year of hearing “no,” I stopped waiting for someone else to believe in the vision.

In August 2020—just six months after welcoming my fourth baby—I drove more than six hours with four children, ranging in age from seven years old to six months old, simply for the opportunity to experience a single bungee fitness class.

At more than 275 pounds, I wasn’t looking for the perfect workout.

I was looking for proof that the vision I’d been carrying was possible.

I returned to learn the fundamentals of this emerging fitness concept, then came home and spent the next year building Bungee Up® from the ground up—intentionally reimagining the experience to welcome people who had rarely seen themselves represented in fitness spaces.

In August 2021, the doors to our very first studio opened.

And the rest…

Is still being written.

At Bungee Up®, every playlist has purpose.

Every bounce is synced to the beat.

Every class is intentionally designed to feel thrilling, challenging, empowering, uplifting, and unforgettable.

Because movement can be joyful.

Movement can build confidence.

Movement can create community.

Movement can remind you who you are.

Most importantly…

Movement can become something you genuinely look forward to.

Founded in 2019, incorporated in 2020, and officially launched in 2021, Bungee Up® Fit & Fly Studio has grown into one of the pioneering and defining studios helping pioneer and shape what modern bungee fitness has become. As the flagship studio of Fit & Fly Industries™, it continues to embody one simple belief: everyone deserves to find movement they genuinely look forward to—movement that loves them back.

Whether you’re rebuilding after life’s hardest seasons…

Rediscovering the person you used to be…

Or discovering for the very first time the person you were always created to become…

You belong here.

Let’s get hooked…

Harness our fitness…

And Be Fit & Fly™ together.
