WHy I AM SO driven to HELP YOU.
Hi, friend! Welcome to my passion.
Fitness has always been my #1 passion. Even when I didn't look nor play the part, fitness has always been in my heart. Growing up my dad always put nutrition first and made a daily effort to work out. As soon as he got home from work, my brother and I would join him in the garage for his workout. Each night before bed we all got down on the floor for "ab time." Growing up I was always the “bigger” girl but, deep inside I wanted to be small like the other girls.
During the summer of my 7th grade, I lost 50 pounds; I was forever changed. I swam, was extremely active & made my health a priority. This led into my high school years. I was very active in sports, only drank water and prioritized nutrition. My coach was my inspiration. He taught me the importance of nutrition and how to properly fuel my body.
After graduating, I got pregnant and gained 90 pounds. I remember people telling me “You better watch it, it’s hard to get that back off.” Guess what? I used that as motivation to prove them wrong! Looking back, I should have prioritized my nutrition; that was a big lesson learned!
In 2017, I decided I was going to start powerlifting and really push my limits. I enjoyed that season of life and learned a lot about lifting; however, something was still missing. I wasn’t feeling complete and able to LIVE the lifestyle I truly felt I wanted to. Or thought I could live.
In 2020, my entire fitness journey took a complete change. I was shown I truly had the ability to perform like an athlete. The coach I work with showed me the TRUE meaning of lifting and the importance of mind to muscle connection. I could feel my muscles and body performing like it should. I got to relearn my body all over again in a way I cannot wait to teach others. Truly understanding your body and what it is capable of is absolutely incredible. Not only are the physical changes rewarding, but the mental shift is just as important. I view myself and my body completely different. I look at it now and think “wow, look what you are making.” The uniqueness that comes from your body NO ONE can take away from you. I don’t even care about the “number” on the scale. I now focus on how I feel.
YOUR past does not define you, but it reveals the beauty of what you are creating as you work toward YOUR own personal goal. YOU are YOU and NO ONE can be YOU. I want to help YOU feel the best version of YOU. Not to compare your progress with others or to compare what you want to look like BUT to truly SEE and know we are all uniquely made and that’s where the beauty truly lies.
