Meet Erica

(HEAD COACH & OWNER)

My introduction to strength training changed far more than my body- it changed the way I lived my life.

Like many women, I spent years caught in the cycle of body image struggles, diet culture, and the pressure to be smaller. Movement and food felt transactional, and my body felt like something to I had to fix rather than trust. When I finally committed to strength training and learning how to properly fuel myself, something unexpected happened: the physical changes sparked growth everywhere else. Confidence improved, discipline deepened, and my relationship with myself shifted.

That snowball effect is the foundation of The Self Space.

Over the years, my journey evolved into competitive bodybuilding, professional coaching, and earning my IFBB Pro card- but titles were never the point. What mattered was discovering that strength, when approached with intentionality, creates freedom. Not just in how you look, but in how you think, move, and show up in your life.

After years of coaching clients, I saw an opportunity to create something that blended physical training with personal growth. I envisioned a space that felt empowering, grounded, and real. One that encouraged strength, sustainability, and a space that supported people not just in how they move, but in how they live.

I saw a need for something different. Something that focuses on the whole you- so I built it.

The Self Space exists to help people grow beyond the workout- to feel strong, capable, connected, and confident in their bodies and their lives. This is a gym for those ready to stop shrinking themselves and start building a version of strength that carries far beyond the walls.

Meet COACH LIZ

Being active and exercising have always been a part of who I am, but it was through the challenges of postpartum depression that I truly discovered my passion for fitness and the power it has to transform not only our bodies, but our minds.

I’m passionate about helping others recognize just how strong and capable they are. My goal is to create a space where every client feels supported, heard, and empowered to step outside their comfort zone and grow into the strongest version of themselves.

I’ll challenge you and cheer you on in the very same session, because I believe growth happens when we feel both supported and capable of more. Beyond the workouts, I want to build a community of like-minded individuals who inspire one another and remind each other that we don’t have to do hard things alone.
