My personal transformation journey began 6 years ago. I was making mindless lifestyle habits and lacked the awareness and knowledge to choose better. The person I was, both inside and out, was not who I wanted to be. Fueled by the desire to shed a few pounds, I embarked on a 2-week meal plan that helped me bring awareness to the food and portions I was eating. I had no long term vision at this point. Like many of us, I wanted fast results.

What started as a 2-week plan became much more. I found a curiosity and passion for the world of nutrition, fitness and wellness. I learned more about it every chance I got. I started working out consistently, trying new types of fitness classes and discovering different forms of movement that I actually enjoyed. I mindfully chose the food I consumed. I found new ways of creating foods I loved in a healthier way. I lost weight and felt and looked my best. I had zero brain fog, amazing sleep and my energy levels were like never before! I completely changed the way I saw nutrition, and in fact, how I perceived myself. I became a healthy person. Someone who worked out. Something who had so much energy to share with the world. I felt great.

However, this blissful moment did not last. It became too strict, too restrictive, too stressful. I was making ALL the “healthy” choices , but I was not taking care of my mind or prioritizing rest. I started dealing with gut issues, hormonal imbalances, difficulty sleeping and acne.

I knew something had to change. I started looking at health as overall wellness and prioritizing rest. My physical health, mental health and emotional health all became one. I incorporated sustainable mindfulness habits that allowed me to take care of my stress levels. I reduced the intensity of my workouts, incorporated more rest while still prioritizing movement I loved. My skin has never looked better and I get restful sleep. I made more time for dinners with family and friend, date nights, fun activities and play. Along the way, I stopped stressing out when I could not control the food that was on my plate and simply became more present with the people I was with. I found balance and truly embodied that 80/20 lifestyle. Much more, I found myself, happiness and freedom. Along the way, I got certified as a Holistic Nutrition Health Coach and became a Fitness Instructor.

I truly believe that every woman can and deserves to feel and look her best. I know you can achieve this by cultivating sustainable nutrition, movement, and mindfulness habits. The different stages of my journey enable me to empathize and meet you where you are today. I want to work with you to create a healthy lifestyle that works for you for the long term. You can too wake up every day and feel and look your best and be proud of the woman you’ve become.
