My journey began at the start of my 30s when I had fallen in love with the gym, with exercise and the feeling of strength in my muscles. I had lost 80 pounds thru diet and exercise and wanted to keep that mindset. I began looking into becoming a personal trainer and then life happened. I got a divorce, moved to a different state, endured the loss of both my parents, became a mother myself with two daughter and by the time a decade passed, I had grew to 300 pounds. I had become a yo-yo dieter, an emotional eater, and along with a lifetime of hypothyroidism and diagnosed with severe insulin resistance, I had stopped living. For a decade I hid behind clothes, avoided mirrors and refused to have my picture taken. Fortunately when I was facing my 40th birthday I had found a doctor who inadvertently saved my life. We discovered my insulin resistance, corrected my thyroid medications, and I began my journey of wellness. It was also at this time I decided to get back to my dream and start the certification process of becoming a certified personal trainer. I have lost over 130 pounds, completed 5 certificates, and began working with older adults at a gym inspiring them to begin their own journeys. I found the passion I had been looking for and now I want to share it with you. I have been down many roads and faced many hardships. I understand the battles we face with food, with ourselves and the feeling of intimidation without the proper guidance. If I can prevent one person from feeling the way I did, than I have succeeded. Let me help you transform your life.
