Founder, Owner & Coach

---

I'm a high-energy, fun loving person who loves all things health and wellness. But - I wasn't always this way. I used to be about 45 pounds heavier, lazy, and so unhappy with myself. I was unhappy in general. I knew nothing about what it means to be in good health. I knew nothing about being fit and healthy. I knew nothing about inner joy and peace. I knew nothing about truly living. I was in a dark place, mentally. I was unfulfilled. I've tried many of diet fads and "tricks", but nothing worked. At least not long-term. And it was so exhausting! I've struggled with my weight, negative thinking, and I've endured many of trials and tribulations as a result. It affected me in more ways than one. For me, it wasn't just about my weight. It affected every other area of my life; mind, body and soul. I battled with feelings of inadequacy, feeling unhappy and insecure. I was unhappy in my own skin, and I hated the way that I looked. I couldn't escape it.

Learning that true health and wellness wasn't merely just about my body and the way that I looked, but also about my mental, emotional, and spiritual state, was extremely eye-opening. I realized where one area was affected, others were as well - or soon to be, inevitably. It was a domino effect; a direct correlation. This was the beginning of the beginning.

I fought through many of obstacles, and many of ups and downs. I fought hard through my fat-loss journey, and all of the many barriers that accompanied it. But, I persevered and I eventually made it out on the other side (though the journey is forever). And interestingly enough, I did it all on my own. Granted, I tried weight-loss programs and lost weight as well, but I always felt hungry, so it didn't last long-term. It took many of trials and errors, a lot of blood, sweat and tears (no blood really, but the rest, YES!). And, eventually, I got there. I've learned many of valuable lessons along the way. I've learned, it wasn't merely about just addressing the weight. That wasn't even half of it. It was about addressing all of the many aspects of myself; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It was about addressing myself as a whole. And now, because I know what this self-care and self-love journey consists of, the highs and the lows, this journey of creating a more joyous, fulfilling and rewarding life, has greatly fueled my passion and desire to help others who may currently be where I've been.

Both my personal experience and education arsenal is what qualifies me. I have a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness. I am also 3-way certified by the AFPA as a Certified Holistic Health Coach, a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. With these certifications, my ever-evolving love for holistic health practices, and herbalism, my life pursuit is to help others to turn their lives around within their own health and wellness journey, as well. So that they, too, can live longer, fuller, and more vibrant lives.
