I wish I could tell you that I grew up living a healthy lifestyle, loving my body, and mastering my mental health issues… but sadly that’s not the case.
Who I am today has required a lot of work and dedication in order to overcome the issues that I struggled with for most of my life.
My health and fitness journey started in my early twenties when, as I suspect is common for many of us, I was battling with body issues and wanted to lose weight. I was a competitive dancer from the time I could walk up to my early 20s. It wasn’t until I stopped dancing that I immediately recognized that movement was an integral and vital key to my happiness. Following that recognition, I became a gym rat and fell in love with the strength, power, and growth I was experiencing. I made the decision right then to pursue this new passion and start my career as a fitness expert and personal trainer.
Throughout my 15 years in the fitness arena, I have recognized an unfortunate trend amongst many of the clients I work with; a lack of self-love and acceptance. Despite what a person comes to me for, be it injury recovery, weight loss, strength training, etc., there was often an underlying tone of self-hate. Having gone through these issues myself, I really started to reflect and ask “at what point do we, or can we, love ourselves?”. This question helped me realize that I wanted to offer my clients more than just physical fitness…
Having dealt with a long and storied past which includes abuse, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, an eating disorder, and so on, really gives me a deeper understanding of what many people commonly battle. Creating change can be hard when there are so many things holding you back from achieving your goals. For me, once I decided to turn my energy inwards and focus positively on my journey, the change I was seeking became a reality. My body and “self” are the result of embracing healing, accepting the love I have discovered for myself, and the self-respect I gained from putting the time and effort into growing. It didn’t matter how “skinny” or “happy” I was in the past, my self-hate always got in the way of my peace. Finally having the realization that I can be happy and fit at any size was a game changer for me, and is something I want to share with anyone and everyone who struggles the way I did, and do.
My goal is to help guide you into a life full of confidence, strength and love.
With small, achievable changes we can find the right tools that work for you. I want every single one of my clients, whether you are with me for years or for a short period of time, to leave with a better understanding and connection to yourself.
LEARN. ADAPT. GROW.
