One of the biggest reasons I see people fall off the health and fitness wagon is also the saddest. It’s lack of support.

There are so many reasons that people desire to get in shape, lose weight, get stronger, etc. But the reason lies underneath the surface. It’s not really about the number on a scale, how much the barbell in your hands weighs, or anything to do with being fit at all. It’s our desire to feel …

I want to address something that I’ve seen time and time again with clients and prospective clients. I will have someone come to me wanting to lose 20, 30, or even 40+ pounds.

COACH/MOTIVATOR
Hello! I was born in Washington (the state) into an Air Force family, so I moved around a lot as a kid before ending up and growing up mostly in Maine. I swam competitively for about 10 years, making states in all events and placing in the 50 free, and diving for 4 years getting runner up at states on the 3m board. I then did my undergraduate in engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder and worked as an apparel designer for a year before going back to my true calling of health care. I enrolled in the Tufts MPH program and am currently applying to medical schools, with the ultimate degree of one day getting my MD. I am exceedingly passionate about fitness as a preventative measure; so much for the health issues these days stems from lack of physical fitness, and poor diet, both of which are simple (if not easy) to fix! I hope that through my work as a coach, I inspire formation of habits to give a long, happy, healthy, and full life.

I was born in Atlanta, GA, but mostly grew up in Florida. I’m a proud graduate of the University of Florida (Gooo Gators!).
My passion with nutrition is three fold. 1. I love how food is so healing. You can legit heal or prevent just about any ailment through food, and create massive generational health shifts through food knowledge and application. 2. I love how you can take very simple ingredients and turn them into a healthy meal. 3. I love showing people how you can healthy can be so delicious and indulgent.
