A Board-Certified Health Coach, Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Certified Life Coach, Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, Certified Nutrition & Healthy Living Coach, Certified Advanced Personal Trainer, Author of  “Releasing My Trauma: The Root of Self-Sabotage”, and Girls' Fitness and Sports Coach/Trainer with 14 years of experience. 

As a child, I was introduced to fitness by my mom walking, running, and working out to Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies. The love of being active led to become an AFPA Certified Personal Trainer in 2010. Not long after becoming a personal trainer, I sustained a severe injury to my right knee. I did not realize that the injury was going to be life changing. Life is funny I never thought that an athlete, who was in great physical condition and always kept a positive attitude, could go through a comprehensive physical and mental transformation. 

I became very depressed; found comfort in eating and sleeping all day. Went from weighing under 120 pounds and wearing a size 0/4 to pre-obese at the highest weight of 193! All the past unaddressed mental, emotional, and physically trauma I'd experienced appeared; from the grief of my father's death as a child, to childhood molestation and sexual assault as an adult I was in a good mental space. 

This journey helped me understand that losing weight is not just about exercising; It's also about understanding the successful behaviors that lead to maintaining weight loss by addressing what keeps a person from a fantastic healthy lifestyle. I have received a number of certifications that equip me to help me transform my mind and body to achieve my goals. I will use my expertise to help you reach your desired long-term goal to BE A HEALTHIER YOU!
