My Journey...

I have worked in the healthcare field for 14 years..hard to believe. I started my healthcare journey as a registered nurse and then advanced my career and became a nurse practitioner. 
 

I always had an interest in fitness and nutrition, but was not sure how to get started. I was always the "skinny" girl that could eat whatever she wanted. But it wasn't until I tried my first Crossfit class that I realized how out of shape I actually was and I wanted to make a change. 

​

I joined a Crossfit box, which helped push me in ways that I did not think possible. Unfortunately, scheduling did not allow me to workout consistently, so I decided to join a local gym. I was working out 3 - 4 times per week, gaining healthy weight, and feeling good about the changes and progress I was making. The one thing that was missing in my routine was proper nutrition. I knew how to eat, but with so much information out there, it became overwhelming on which diet to choose. 

​

Now don't get me wrong, I love pizza, wings, nachos as much as the next person, but I knew I really need to focus on dietary changes if I wanted to fuel my workouts, but also help me feel better overall. 

 

Once I found my passion for fitness and nutrition, I decided to obtain my personal trainer and nutrition coach certification through the National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM).  I could not help but try to encourage others, especially my patients. Although I will not be providing any medical advise, I believe my background will help in better understanding your health and wellness goals, not just weight loss. 

​

My goal is to help people be more proactive regarding their health and provide encouragement along their wellness journey.
