Spending 20+ years in the ballet studio, I have seen every type of unhealthy, disordered relationship with food - including my own. Seeing the dancers and athletes I spent all of my time with eating for smaller bodies rather than strength or to fuel their passion pushed me to not only repair my own relationship with food, but pursue a career helping others have a happy, healthy relationship with their plates and bodies. I have worked with athletes of all abilities, including triathletes, professional dancers, including the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, to bring my mission to life!
I have a passion for helping others who struggle with feeling too busy and burnt out because... That was ME for so long! I have spent the majority of my adult life working multiple jobs, always tackling more than one goal or project at once, and putting taking care of myself on the backburner, only to find myself burnout, uninspired, and chronically exhausted. My dream is to help my clients embrace their busy lifestyle (I'm looking at you, type A's!), and keep health and wellbeing as a priority.
A little about me... I am an avid marathon runner, trail runner, and yes, dance is still a huge part of my life. I am a three-time finalist for the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders and remain involved in the Denver dance community. I love to be outdoors in this gorgeous state, dragging my husband and our doggo Willa on any hike I can! I also love bringing my love for nutrition into the kitchen and whipping up new recipes and cooking for others.
I am so excited to be joining this incredible team of coaches and can't wait to help you reach your goals!

Hello DLDNation! My name is Jocelyn Vink. I was born and raised in Kutztown, PA. I am 32 years old and have a Masters Degree in Medical Science. I am a certified Physician Assistant and a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I love medicine and am intrigued by science. I always knew growing up that I wanted to help care for an educate people. I have been working in a hospital setting for about ten years, five of which I have been a PA-C. After doing this for many years, I am learning that acutely with medicine I can care for people, however, with better education and preventative medicine PRIOR to ever needing to go to the hospital is where more focus needs to be. This is why I have pursued my NASM Personal Training Certification. I love the idea of educating and empowering people to take action! To learn to be the best and most healthy version of themselves what ever that may be!
I was never fit or athletic growing up. I unfortunately suffered from a lot of stress eating along with extreme restriction and binge dieting. I finally got control of my health and fitness routine in 2017. I educated myself about macros and weight training. I quickly developed a passion for nutrition and exercise. I became a member of DLD and started training with Dala about 2.5 years ago. The amount of knowledge, personal strength, and growth that I have achieved over these years on the team is exponential. This team is the best in the business. I am so lucky to have learned and been educated by them and now I am able to be a coach so I con continue to help others!
I am so excited to work with ladies to help educate and empower them in the same way this team has for me. My passion is now to help ladies find a routine that works for them no matter their schedule. Having a good balance between work life, social life, and your health is important. Learning to ditch that "All or Nothing Mentality" and make this a healthy lifestyle is where I like to focus. I want you to feel like the strongest and best version of yourself. I want to teach you and help you love the one body you are given because she is yours for the rest of your life. I can't wait to meet you and get to work!

Hey I’m Hannah! I was born in Vermont, but raised in Northern Virginia and I currently live across the river from our Nations Capital.
Growing up, I played soccer nearly every season while also running 100m and 300m hurdles in High School. However, in my personal life I am the youngest of 2 brothers. This motivated me to not only be a supporter of women in sports, but to never be afraid to be one of “the boys.” This drove me to further grow my love for fitness through weightlifting when I was 15 and I never looked back! Being in this field for 11 years, and achieving my NASM Personal Trainer Certification, has inspired me to help family and friends how to overcome their hurdles in the gym and find their inner badass.
After graduating James Madison University, I explored my degree of Hospitality. During this time, I gained new insight as to how much I enjoy human interaction and serving others. Seeking an outlet that combined both fitness and social passions, DLD combined the best of both worlds.
Beginning my journey with DLD, I started off as a client with Sean. I know the first hand experience of going into a new fitness world (and the anxiety that comes with it.) DLD is a camaraderie, support system, and above all else—family. I know every woman will discover the same self love and confidence with DLD. My goal is to guide you on this incredible life changing journey, push you past your comfort zone and celebrate every single win—both mentally and physically.
I am SO excited to begin working with you and having you see everything you are truly capable of. You deserve to feel confident in your body and live a life with the ultimate food freedom. I cannot wait to meet you and make your fitness goals a reality!

Hey y’all! I’m a coach and trainer, a military wife, and a dog momma! Although I’m a Georgia girl through and through, the Navy has us currently calling California home!
I found my love for health and fitness while in college studying Exercise Science. I initially graduated wanting to go on to further my education in Physical Therapy, so I starting working as a Rehabilitation Specialist in Chiropractic. Working one on one with clients in that practice, I began to write training programs for clients graduating from their rehab programs. Moving clients on from corrective exercise to training suddenly became my favorite part of the job, and soon turned into my career as a personal trainer and online coach!
I am now a certified Exercise Physiologist, Personal Trainer, Group Trainer, and Exercise Nutrition Coach. I also just recently became FMS & FCS certified after studying corrective exercise under some of the brightest names in functional movement, giving me the tools to combine my love for prehab and training.
I am so excited to join the team at DLDNation, to be able to help even more people reach their health and fitness goals! My mission as a coach is to help you achieve those goals in a way that is both sustainable and enjoyable, and to watch you flourish as you live out this journey with abundance, not restriction!

Adventurous soul, avid traveler and Colorado resident.
I am an experienced registered nurse with expertise in postpartum and breastfeeding mamas. I am here to meet you where you are. I am here to empower women; to help you step out of your comfort zone and achieve things that you never thought possible. I fell in love with weight training when I was in college, however I had zero knowledge at the time about what a healthy diet was. Once I discovered the power of nutrition, I wanted to learn more. So, I got my Precision One Nutrition Certification in order to properly educate myself and others.
Being a DLD client before coach, I know what it’s like to be in your shoes. I have been so ingrained in this community, I completely understand how this process works. Having Monika as my coach and mentor for over a year was the best decision I could have made for myself. I am stronger physically, mentally and emotionally than I ever could have imagined. And my "gains" reach far beyond just physical fitness. I feel completely in control of my health and well-being, and I want to help you do the same. Every single woman deserves the confidence, self-love and happiness that can be gained from this journey.
The DLD community is one of the most supportive and thriving groups of its kind in the fitness industry. The unparalleled education, resources, support and encouragement will (quite literally) change your life.

I started out lost, overweight, and had no idea who I was. I spent years starting and giving up trying to lose weight and get healthy. I tried all of the fad diets and workouts. I was not fueling myself properly and was running myself into the ground, all to try to be smaller.
When I signed up with DLD I immediately knew I had been doing it all wrong. DLD showed me who I really wanted to be. I was strong, stronger than I ever allowed myself to be. I loved the empowerment from lifting heavy and showing myself what I could really do.
Everything changed. I knew I wanted to share with other women what this lifestyle has given me, so I became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.
I want to help show women that they can rewrite their stories, decide the life they want to live, and realize they are so much stronger than they know. I work with women who are ready to put themselves first, know they are worth the work, and who are ready to be who they really want to be.

Full-time RVer with a wandering soul, but a Kentucky girl at heart.
I am an experienced ICU Registered Nurse, NASM-CPT, and Precision Nutrition Certified Coach. Spending so much time with critically-ill patients sparked my desire to begin a health and fitness journey for myself.
My fitness journey turned into a much needed self-love journey where I battled anxiety and became a much stronger and more confident version of myself. Dala and Sean mentored me through this process as their client.
I love working with women who have more complex health conditions, women who work long shifts/non-traditional jobs, and women who travel frequently.
My mission is to continue working with women of all backgrounds who want to explore and grow their strength physically and mentally.

Born a Cali girl and raised in Keller, Texas, I made my way to my home in Austin, Texas in 2009 to start my Nursing Degree at UT. After graduating from UT, I spent 5 years as a Labor & Delivery Nurse. My passion for health and empowering and supporting other humans continued to grow.
Fitness was a venture I pursued in my personal time, working to break a 10-year cycle of body image issues and a lack of understanding on how to make and keep myself healthy. In 2016 I created @dalalovesdumbbells on Instagram to share how I found and healed myself through fitness, with the hope of inspiring and elevating others as well.
When my community of clients self-proclaimed as #DLDNation, I knew we were building something special. Sean and I quit our day jobs to devote ourselves 100% to helping people improve their lives.
My clients and this community have my whole heart. I'm so blessed to wake up every day and change lives in our ever-growing family.
