First and foremost, I'm a wife to a wonderful man, we have twin girls and they are the reason I do what I do! After suffering from postpartum depression and the monotony of washing 16 bottles a day and changing as many diapers, keeping up with the house, cooking, cleaning, etc, I lost myself as a woman. I slowly climbed my way out through exercise-it became my outlet. I did all the things and most
of them, wrong. I was your typical cardio queen, all or nothing mentality person. It worked, for a while. You can only do that for so long, trust me. Longggg story short, I went after my personal training certification and a few years in, started my own business. I have been training clients out of my home gym for years now and love it! Since completing my personal training cert, I have gone on to claim many more. I am also a Corrective Exercise Specialist...think rehab. I love helping people come back from surgeries or injuries and having them leave here better than they came in. My main focus (and my favorite if I'm being honest-which you will always get w/me.) is my Health Coaching practice. I trained many many clients over the years but always felt something was missing. My clients would do so well as long as they stuck w/their workouts and ate what I told them. Invariably, life would happen, holidays came, weekends, etc and they would fall off the wagon I knew something was missing. It's the mental aspect of improving your health.....we don't realize what an important role it plays. If we don't change our daily habits and get to the root of our issues, nothing will change. I love digging in with my clients and helping them figure out why they do the things they do (defaulting to crap food, bingeing on the weekends and other forms of self sabotage). The awesome thing is, there is no diet or meal plan or crazy scary changes that have to be made. We can make these changes through teeny tiny little changes in our day to day habits that eventually lead to a healthier lifestyle-no more dieting or starting over! If that's something you struggle with, let's have a convo. Seriously, I'll be the first person to tell you if I think you'd be better suited elsewhere.
