about us

Overcome the mental barriers, set the audacious fitness goals, & work on your hormonal health because your health is about WAY more than just your pant size!

When you’re trying to overcome the mental barriers that have been holding you back for years on your health journey & you’re sick of the start-stop mentality, you need someone in your corner who has been there-done that and knows how to break through!

That's where I come in like Maverick working with Goose in Top Gun

I left the corporate insurance world to help women feel great through the power of nutrition & fitness, but not just that…

I want them to be able to stick with it for the long term by breaking down the mental barriers that are holding them back and working one baby step at a time.

The world tells us that this journey has to be and is HARD! It’s NOT. It’s quite SIMPLE. It’s not easy, but I make it easier through my group coaching program and helping you work WITH your hormones versus against them.

 

So why is this so important to me?

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2009 and it almost robbed me of the ability to cross the finish line to my first (qualified) Boston Marathon. I went on to run with two numb feet, but the feeling of crossing THAT Boston was pretty…spectacular.

I want you to know the feeling of accomplishing physical challenges that you never ever thought you’d accomplish. Perhaps that’s not a marathon, but instead it’s being able to slide on your wedding ring for the first time in…forever. Or maybe it is simply using less toxic skin care; it is our largest organ. Whatever it is, accomplishing those goals will not only change you, it will change your family.

 

I’ve coached thousands of women on their nutrition & fitness journeys through the years & it lights my soul on fire to hear their success stories!

God has given me one body to care for as my own and that is what I intend to do. He has also given me a gift to coach others and show them what they are capable of in their fitness journey. I’m excited to bring that to YOU!

And hey, I love a great ice cream just like anyone else, but I also know I am in control of my cravings and that is freeing!

To sum it up…

I’m obsessed with YOUR health success & to be cheering you on along the way is a gift!

I’m a mom of three & wife to my best friend. We love a great coffee shop or local winery & we’d love to be saying ‘CHEERS’ to you on our next outing!

So, what do you say?

Let’s write the goals, do the work, & celebrate YOU!


What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Do I have to choose just one? I love the darkest chocolate you can find or mint Oreo! But, since I have a dairy sensitivity (insert eye-roll), lemon sorbet tops the chart!

You’re thirsty…what do you grab? Depending on the time of day and environment. A coffee from our french press spun in the blender with coconut oil and oat milk, licorice tea, seltzer, a buttery chardonnay, or a lemondrop martini. I told you…it depends on the time and place ;)

What is your favorite Bible verse? Philippians 4:13 (it’s tattoo’d on my back)

What is your favorite breed of dog? Well, this is easy because I have one; golden doodles! Their temperament is so kind and loving.

What are quirky things you like to collect? Funky socks, even funkier pajama pants, and vintage cross-stitch!

Camping or hotel? GLAMPING! I need a camper, but I don’t need a hotel and I definitely don’t want a tent. ;)

Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
