About Me
I grew up in the farmlands of Michigan in a one-stoplight, drive-through town.
After a trip south in December opened my eyes to the realities of warm weather in winter, I was on a mission to escape. I ran straight to Florida for college and haven’t left the coast since!
I’ve lived in Charleston since 2008 and love to claim the title of “wannabe local.” I have a wonderful husband of 15 years and two children, Sienna (12) and Deacon (9).
I’ve been personal training, coaching, and teaching CrossFit classes since 2011. My experiences in the fitness community have taught me so much, but honestly, my personal journey with health and wellness has been anything but smooth.
My high school and college years were riddled with body shame, battling unhealthy habits and disordered behaviors. Fad diets, obsessive exercise, detoxes… you name it, I’ve probably tried it. In my early 20’s, I was on my way to type 2 diabetes if I didn’t make some big shifts.
Changing my lifestyle literally changed my life, and I got into fitness as a profession to help others do the same. However, this all just scratches the surface…
Ultimately, I had a major health scare in my early 30’s with the diagnosis of cancer. I’ll spare you the details, but one of the beautiful outcomes from that season was healing my relationship with my body at a deeper level than ever before.
Fixing a problem from the outside in will only go so far…My desire is to help you go deeper. The reasons we show up at a gym can range from a desire to be healthy and powerful to being entirely driven by shame and lies.
My passion is to help you dig into WHY you make the choices you do for your body.
Why do you show up to the gym, eat healthy, or even give your body rest?
Where did those reasons come from?
Are they based on truth?
Are you trying to fix your body, when the truth is that it is ALREADY good?
Why do these thoughts appear, and what authority do they have over your choices?
Once you discover the real motivations and intentions behind them, you have the power to decide what is next, what needs to go, heal from what’s been broken, and step forward in freedom like never before.
This passion drove me to become a Certified Life Coach and Transformation Services NLP Practitioner so I could equip and encourage women from all walks of life to find their why, uproot lies, set truth in charge, and watch as it changes their lives for good.
If you’re ready to step into who you were meant to be, I’m ready to come alongside you in this journey.
