Kona Girl Wellness WHY THE NAME, "KONA GIRL WELLNESS?"

I wanted to share a bit of the story behind Kona Girl Wellness, a name that means a lot to me.

�Uplift Your Soul, Free Your Mind, Love Your Body
�Nutrition Consultant
�Certified Stretch Coach, Tips on Fitness, Freeing your Mind and Finding your faith, Movement Is Health, Movement is Life - Get Moving!
�Help save the turtles When I was picking a name for my nutrition and fitness journey, I wanted something that wasn’t just catchy but also captured my personal journey and the inspiration that got me here. The whole thing started with my first experience watching the Kona Ironman. Seeing regular folks and top athletes alike giving everything they had to complete this insane race really hit me hard—especially the everyday people pushing through and crossing that finish line after 17 hours. That level of heart, grit, and determination sparked something in me. Back then, I never would’ve believed I could take on a triathlon, let alone do an Ironman distance. But over time, I trained, built up my strength, and—eventually—did it. It was a life-changer and showed me what we’re capable of when we really commit. I’ve also got a deep love for the ocean (and yes, sea turtles!), having lived most of my life near the beach. The ocean has always been a huge source of peace and joy for me, and combining that love with my passion for fitness is where Kona Girl Wellness was born. Kona Girl Wellness is my way of celebrating that journey—the spirit of the Kona Ironman and the magic of the ocean. My goal is to help others tap into that same strength and find their own path to health and happiness. We’re in this together, and I want to create a space where everyone feels encouraged to break barriers and find what’s possible for them. Let’s keep lifting each other up!

Health at 55 isn’t defined by one number.
I track what actually reflects strength, heart health, and longevity.

Get moving now so you can stay mobile as you age. Less movement over time leads to more health struggles.

My mornings are quiet and heavy. starting the day by thanking God helps me stay grounded and focused on what matters most.

Incline walking works if you do it right. Don’t hold onto the rails, walk, fast paced, get that heart rate up and stand as upright as you can. It’s simple. It’s effective if you are consistent.

One of the biggest obstacles I see with new clients is getting them to eat the amount of real food their body actually needs in a day. Undereating doesn’t lead to balance, it leads to cravings, fatigue, and stalled progress. Food is fuel, not something to fear.

Nothing beats the fresh air. I couldn’t take another treadmill run😎

02/02/2026

Honest answers like “I’m lazy,” “I don’t like sweating,” and “it’s boring” came up a lot on a TikTok that I posted last week. That honesty matters. Movement doesn’t have to be intense or perfect, it just has to be something. Start small. Momentum comes later.

I truly despise the treadmill, but the cold weather won😢

01/19/2026

It is very tough running in this weather, but it is also refreshing. 10 minutes in, for the majority of my runs, I am warmed up, except when it is windy. Those days are brutal. Keep moving. Get out there, do what you can do😊

There are many benefits, besides losing belly, fat and losing weight. Give it a try.
