It can be hard to get to know someone over the internet but let me give you a little insight into who I am and what I do.
The back story: I was born and raised in the sweltering Arizona heat with a love for nature, learning, and music. In my teens, I wouldn't have been able to tell you anything about self-care, nutrition, or meditation, but now, here I sit, a certified holistic health and wellness expert. Who would have known?
For years, I struggled with my weight, self-image, and stress. I was bogged down by worries and insecurities to the point where it made living life to the fullest difficult. I wouldn't wish those feelings on my worst enemy.
Like many, I understand the struggle of eating mindfully, and I know what it's like to be overweight and unhappy. I know what it feels like to feel completely lost and out of control when dealing with my own health. And who can blame me? There is A LOT of information out there, and much of it is conflicting. There was a time when I felt that I was doing everything right, but I still wasn't seeing the progress I wanted, and I was still drowning in stress.
It wasn't until I experienced an uncomfortable reality-check during a moment of self-reflection that I realized that I was standing in my own way.
The feeling of being out of control was an illusion that I had created for myself to preserve my pride. Was I doing everything that I could to change my habits? Was I doing everything that I could to regain my health, mental and physical? It occurred to me in that moment that I was not.
While working in social services as a case manager, then as a service coordinator and supervisor, I found the path that led me to lose 90lbs and start living my best life. The path I found was not paved in pleasure, mind you, and it was not easy. I had started to experiment with cooking whole foods, meditating, and practicing daily goal setting. On this path, I learned to sustain my weight loss and I found a way to manage my stress that made me feel good. This led me to learn the art of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. I studied eastern spirituality and philosophy, experimented with different holistic remedies and recipes, and completed rigorous trainings to develop as a coach and holistic nutritionist. Then I got certified, so I can coach you through what can be one of the most difficult and important journeys of your life.
I won't sugar coat it--I am not for everyone. I am a coach who holds my clients accountable, cheers them on, and calls them on their bullshit. My coaching methods are tailored to the individual, as I strongly believe that every person requires a unique approach to find success. With the utilization of SMART goals, homework, accountability, and hard work, I can get you on the path you want to be on.
If you are someone who is serious about improving your life, improving your health, and treating your body as a temple, I want to meet you!
