About me:
I started my career as an Interior designer and have done that for many years. I’m someone who has a passion for fashion, beauty, nature, animals, food, and above all health and fitness. Years ago I experienced some set backs that left me with a lot of pain both physically and mentally. I tried coping by running away from my issues and over indulging in exercise. As you might know, too much of anything is not a good thing and working out is no exception. Even though I looked good on the outside, I didn’t feel good on the inside. I’ve always had a very sensitive body with significant allergies. Getting sick scared me because I couldn’t tolerate most of the medications and so I resorted to doing my own research on holistic healing.
My health & Fitness Journey:
I attended fitness retreats many years ago and tried to look for natural ways to heal my injuries and ailments. I started an amateur fitness group in 2012 for my family and friends where I led some hikes, bikes, and outdoor activities. In 2020, the pandemic hit and I decided to make my version of lemonade. I made a career change and became a certified holistic nutritional coach and a certified personal trainer. As the saying goes: “you have to help yourself before helping others.” I got myself physically and mentally healthy and then started helping others achieve their goals by partnering with them on their way to a healthy lifestyle.
My Health & Fitness Philosophy:
Dieting should not be about starving yourself, but rather leading a healthy lifestyle that fulfills your taste buds with nature’s amazing foods. I don’t believe in deprivation, but rather in a clean diet that is minimally processed and highly nutritional. Exercise should not feel like a chore, but rather a recreational part of your day that is fun and enjoyable. Remember that we start aging when we stop playing. Find the type of workout that challenges you, but also makes you happy and excited at the same time. When we age, we start losing flexibility, balance, coordination and strength. All of these areas are targeted in my workout programs.
My Mission
“A person’s best asset is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen, and a hand willing to help others.” I’m embarking on this journey to be a part of your transformation in becoming the best version of yourself.
