Weight was never really much of an issue for me until I was in my 20s.  After giving birth to two children, I started to really struggle with my weight. Having not grown up in an overly health conscious family, I was lacking some of the necessary knowledge needed to control my weight. I started reading books on fitness and nutrition, and began to pay more attention to what I was eating. Along with making healthier food choices, I began walking every night.  Before long, this turned into jogging – with a loss of 50 lbs in five months!   When I lost the weight, I gained self confidence, energy, and a profound sense of well being.

With this newfound strength and identity, I decided to take some fitness courses in order to help others achieve the same weight loss success I had attained. I feel that I have the best job in the world. I love getting up in the morning and going to work in an industry where I am able to motivate and inspire people to honor their bodies and feel their personal best!

I have worked with a variety of age groups and fitness levels.  I know how to make fitness fun, simple to understand, and easy to attain.  My focus is not on helping people to become "skinny" just for image sake.  Instead, my goal is to instill in my clients the value of overall health and wellness through proper diet and exercise - and to give them the necessary tools to maintain a healthy weight for life!
