My Passion

I was created to inspire people to live health and find happiness.  I can remember as a little girl, moving my living room furniture to work out to Jane Fonda.  When I was old enough to cook, I would pretend I had a cooking show demonstrating my culinary skills.   I knew it was my destiny to promote healthy living and motivate others to live their best life.  I have enjoyed doing this for years as a certified health educator & wellness coach, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and diabetes prevention facilitator. I have inspired hundreds of individuals to reach their wellness goals designing award winning wellness programs for fortune 500 companies, municipalities, faith-based entities, women, and families.   My life experiences have provided the wisdom, empathy and understanding needed to relate to people seeking to balance various aspects of their life to experience, joy, happiness, and improved wellbeing.  As a divorcee, I refused to let this major setback in my life define me and steal my joy.  As a working mother of three and a women’s ministry director, I know what it is like to try to balance work, life, family, and ministry.   

My favorite saying is “She believed she could, so she did” and my favorite verse is “I can do all things thought Christ that give me strength” (Philippians 4:13). Both remind me that in order to achieve anything in life, we must first acknowledge who is in control and have the confidence and belief in ourselves to DO IT!  We all can use someone to remind us we have the ability to achieve what we set our minds to do!  I look forward to guiding and supporting you in living a life of purpose, good health, and much happiness!  

​My Philosophy 

We are complex individuals living on-the-go demanding lives.  We want it all!  I completely understand because this was me too!  And guess what, trying to have it all made me sick literally!  Staying up late at night working on projects while the kids slept, pulling all nighters, ripping and running during the day just weakened my immune system, created hormonal imbalances, and a complete lack of energy!  This led to weight gain and increased anxiety.  It all comes with a price when we push our health to the side.  So many of us are burned out, anxious, and stress and don't even know it...much less realize the effect these things can have on our bodies, mind, and soul.  Let's take back control of your life and your health!

My approach to wellness is to assist you in finding balance in life to increase your happiness and improve your health.  We take a wholeperson approach to explore all areas of YOU including your physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual, and occupational health and identify want It is you need to focus on to reach your ultimate desire...to live in good health and happiness!  

Success in life, health, and happiness can be found by examining the Cs of success which are our choices, challenges, confidence, commitment and consistency.  I work with my clients to explore these Cs as we assess the different areas of your life and well-being.  This enables us to identify what IT is we need to change and craft a plan of wholeperson success to achieve life-balance and optimum wellness.
