My Story

I’ve been overweight all my life. I played sports sporadically and ran from time to time, but nothing was consistent. I also had not idea about the connection between eating well and exercising regularly. By the time I returned to home from studying abroad, I weighed about 230 lbs.

But I didn’t decide to make a change until after my 21st birthday. That night I had gone to a nightclub with my friends and family. It was one of the best nights of my life...that was until I saw the pictures from that night. My stomach in that dress told it the story and the headline read: “Fat on Display!” Those pictures were the reality I never saw until that day. Of course I knew I didn’t have washboard abs, but I at least wanted to look neat in my clothes and I didn’t look neat at all that day.

It was then I knew I had to make a change. I’m a planner so I chose to strategize to give myself the greatest chance of success. I started where most people start when they say they want to lose weight; I went to the gym. Free magazines were available at the campus gym and that gave me the information I needed to move forward.

I first found out that running would be the fastest way for me to lose weight all over my body. I cut off my meal plan in college and actually started cooking. It was there that my love affair with food first began. I was completely hooked. I wanted to challenge myself so I started to train for my first half marathon. Within 1.5 years I lost over 50 lbs! And the challenges continued: kickboxing, dance, and pole dancing (just to name a few). I started watching the Food Network channel to learn cooking techniques as well as foodie inspiration. Creating the lifestyle of the right foods and workouts have changed my life forever.

I believe:

Each journey to a healthy lifestyle is unique. Change starts in the mind and it’s the most powerful tool. Fruits and veggies save lives.

I’m not about:

Gossip, laziness, and limiting mindset

You can find me:

Going for a run at the park, cooking, reading, and trading stocks and crypto.

Daily rituals:

Journaling, yoga, sipping green tea, and taking casual

 How I can help you

After experiencing my own weight loss journey I was inspired to teach others what I’ve learned about holistic health and help others to fuel their bodies. I first decided to receive a certification in holistic nutrition. It completely changed my perspective on how to fuel our bodies. Clean eating 80-90% of the time really helps to fuel the body to perform at its best.

You have to remember that health isn’t just about a number on a scale. It’s learning how to nourish your body to become your best self. Our bodies naturally heal ourselves, we just have to support that with food. I can provide you with an individualized plan that will not only help you to achieve your health goals, but help you to create a lifestyle for maintaining those changes.
