About Me
I was 28 when I lost my mother to lung cancer, and she was 56. This loss strengthened my desire to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. I began exploring ways to improve my physical and emotional health, the love/hate relationship I had with food, alcohol, smoking, and inconsistencies with exercise.
In my forties, watching women around me changing physically and hearing the angst of menopause symptoms, I knew it was time to launch into the world of health, wellness, and fitness. I experienced early onset menopause symptoms in my forties. This gives me firsthand experience and empathy for us mid-lifers and all the fluctuations we get to explore. As I’m inching closer to 60, I am becoming more aware of the additional health challenges that come with aging, including musculoskeletal, hormonal/endocrine, neurological, cardiovascular, and psychological conditions. Seeing my dear friends in their 80s struggle with a lack of movement, balance, and strength, often ending in a bone-breaking fall, tugs at my heartstrings. Regular physical activity and lifestyle medicine can prevent many of these obstacles.
I knew I could make a difference!
This desire to help others and myself inspired me to become a Certified Personal Trainer in 2016, but this was just the beginning. The field of Corrective Exercise became my first specialty; in addition, I became a certified Active Aging Coach and Mobility Specialist. I wanted to understand the influence of lifestyle and multidimensional wellness models, which led me to become a health and wellness coach. This, along with behavior change, supported my work in the fitness arena and gave me a deeper understanding of how I can be helpful to you.
It has been a dream of mine to work alongside women and see them grow in their self-confidence, strength, security, and overall contentment. This work has been a gift.
