About Jackie
Jackie was born and raised in Marin County. With a degree in Marine Mammalogy and a former career as a dolphin and sea lion trainer, her passion for movement, health, and the natural world has shaped her approach to wellness from the very beginning.
A lifelong athlete, Jackie grew up swimming and diving competitively, which developed an appreciation for strength, discipline, and what the human body is capable of. After teaching group fitness and kickboxing for many years, Jackie got her personal training certification in 2010.
Jackie helps clients of all ages build strength, improve mobility, optimize nutrition, and create sustainable habits that support long-term health and vitality. Her philosophy extends far beyond exercise. Jackie believes wellness is built through the small things we do every day-eating minimally processed foods, spending time outdoors, soaking up sunshine, moving often, sleeping well, managing stress, and staying connected to nature.
Jackie met her husband, Scott, while training at the Bay Club, and together they went on to found Iron + Salt Fitness in 2020. They now have two children and fully understand the challenges of balancing health and wellness with the demands of everyday life. Jackie has a deep passion for helping women thrive during pregnancy and regain strength, confidence, and vitality after birth.
Whether she's helping a client gain strength for the first time, stay active as they age, or improve their overall well-being, her goal is always the same: to help people feel strong, capable, and energized for the life they want to live.
