My Why...

Committed to Excellence

My kids are my driving force behind my "Why". I work hard and fight some tough battles to help them find their way to optimal wellness. I brought them into this world with a few strikes against their health. I had a bad diet, I did not value sleep, I was stressed out and over-scheduled most of my days leading up to my pregnancy. I did not give them the nutrients they needed as breastfeeding did not fit into my stressed out daily schedule well. They were both born via C-section and did not develop the immunity they needed to fight off infections and allergies. When I look back at my lifestyle over 15 years ago I realize I am responsible for some of my girls' health issues and my hope is to help them find natural ways to control their symptoms and to find balance in their life.

I am passionate and determined to not only help my children, but to help my family, friends and anyone that reaches out to me find a more energetic way to live life. My poor lifestyle choices and my children's health issues helped me find my passion at the age of 40. My job as a Functional Health coach is to educate, motivate and inspire others as I continue to help people transform their lives and get fit from the inside out.
