My Story
Hello and Welcome!
So glad you found my page! I have been in the health & fitness industry for over 20 years, and it wasn't until the last 5 years that I decided I wanted and needed to reach more women about how to live balanced and healthy lifestyles, so I brought my services online!
Becoming a mom was a huge eye-opener for me in terms of finding balance (whatever that means!). Juggling 3 kids, a husband, 2 dogs, family, friends and my own business, plus trying to stay fit and healthy myself was becoming overwhelming. I wanted to find a Better Way to Do Fit, and I started researching and reading everything I could on women, hormones and fat loss.
I started to apply these principles to my own life and to my clients and found HUGE success! Story after story of how these women were finally in control of food, how the fat was dropping off for the first time in years, even decades. I knew I had the tools and I wanted to reach out to more women, so that's why I'm here!
I want to help YOU learn how you can lose fat, balance hormones and live a happy life staying Fit and Stress-Free! I promise it's doable!
I hope you'll follow me on my own journey and use the tools and resources I provide to help you achieve your personal best!
