MC’s interest as a coach is in focusing on aligning athletic goals and aspirations with a client’s daily routine and lifestyle. She is skilled in the processes of changing patterns and habits in lifestyle and training to reach greater performance and realize potential. She wants her clients to see and experience the possibilities that can come out of focusing on the sport of cycling.

MC loves to coach clients in riding smoothly and safely in a group, organizing a paceline on the road, race strategy, moving around in a field of riders with agility, breathing efficiently to maximize energy output, descending hills fast and safely, maintaining presence of mind in the intense, challenging moments of a race or tour, pacing for long tours, and being calm and collected at the starting line. In addition to supporting client’s dreams by following the monthly training plan, it is important to MC to listen with full attention and her intuition. She believes people have tremendous and untapped capacity for positive change.

MC lives in Missoula, Montana with her husband and two young daughters. Their recent project is to figure out how to commute solely by bicycle around town instead of a car.

"Thank you again for all you do for women's cycling in Montana. If I never told you this before, I will tell you this now: Your clinic you taught last year really changed my life. You (and the other riders) gave me courage to get back on my bike after my accident and showed me how fun cycling can be. I gained confidence and improved my bike handling skills and met some incredible people in the process. I wouldn't be riding with Team Delphine (women’s road race team) if it weren't for you. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart."
