I take a direct, kind and caring approach to my clients. I think that clear is kind, and the less "noise" we have to process the better!

For the past five years, I've had the privilege of working in the health coaching space, walking alongside more than 250 people as they work toward better health, greater confidence, and a stronger belief in what they are capable of. I've supported clients as they've lost significant body fat, improved their overall health, built muscle, and developed healthier habits and mindsets. My coaching is about more than physical change. It's about helping people transform both physically and mentally.

I believe that lasting change comes from more than simply knowing what to do. It comes from building a relationship with yourself, developing sustainable habits, and learning to trust yourself along the way. I strive to meet my clients where they are, without judgment, and to support them with both compassion and accountability.

I also believe in walking the walk. I do my best to practice what I encourage my clients to do because I know how powerful it is to have someone beside you who understands the journey, not just someone telling you what to do. Authenticity and humility are at the heart of how I approach coaching and all of my relationships.

I feel incredibly fortunate to continue learning from and being guided by some of the best in the health and wellness space at FITTR, and I'm grateful every day that I get to do work that I care so deeply about.

As a midlife woman, wife, and mother, my why is deeply personal. I was raised in a family and environment where disease, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and a lack of education around health were simply part of life. I didn't grow up understanding how important movement, nutrition, strength, and muscle mass were, or how much they could impact the quality and longevity of our lives.

But when I became a mother, I knew I wanted something different for my children and for our family. I wanted to grow old alongside my husband while still being physically active and able to enjoy life together. I wanted my children to have memories of their mom saying "yes" to physical activities instead of "I can't." I wanted to teach them, through both my words and my actions, why taking care of their bodies matters.

I also wanted to change the trajectory I had been given. With a family history and genetic predisposition to diabetes and other diseases, I knew I couldn't control everything, but I could control the choices I made every day. I could educate myself. I could become stronger. I could move my body. I could change my relationship with food. And I could become an example of what is possible when we decide to break generational cycles.

I have lost more than 200 pounds throughout my journey, but the weight I've lost is only one part of the story. The greatest gift has been everything I've gained: strength, confidence, knowledge, freedom, and the ability to show my family that change is possible. My children have learned from watching me, not just from what I tell them, but from what I do.

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life of independence and longevity, to be as healthy, strong, and capable as they can be for as long as they can be. That is my why. It's why I coach. It's why I continue to learn. And it's why I am so passionate about walking alongside others as they create a healthier future, not only for themselves, but for the generations that come after them.

Outside of coaching, I love traveling, experiencing live music, and taking long walks in nature. These are some of the things that help keep me grounded, curious, and connected to the life I'm working to help others create for themselves.
