pssst…you want to know the secret to weight loss? there is none.

I’ve coached hundreds about the importance of mindset resets as the foundation of attainable and maintainable weight lost.

From crushed & cried out to becoming confident and comfortable in my skin

I didn’t always feel good about myself. For years, I battled with disappointment and struggled to gain a hold on my life.

My struggles manifested in my thoughts and body weight. Not only did I have negative thoughts. I felt bad about myself.

as a zumba instructor, my a-ha moment came once i realized i wanted to impact women like me, caretakers who often forget about themselves.

I went on a journey to shed pounds and bad habits that prevented me from losing and keeping off the weight.

I replaced my bad habits with realistic and manageable lifestyle.

My own genesis sparked a mind over movement inside of me. I found purpose in my pain and channeled that energy into others. I would have never imagined that so many people women would struggle the same way I did. I knew I needed to help them.

I’ve spoken on stages at … and created a regular series on Instagram called, “Talk about it Tuesdays” where I speak candidly about mindset and weight loss struggles and tips to overcoming negative habits. I’m also a proud brand ambassador and featured coach for SwagHer Magazine. I’m a certified fitness coach…

I’ve gone through my own genesis to live an epic life. my mission is to coach and support others do the same.

I’ve gone through a lot of changes over the years. I even slapped on braces in my 40’s all in the name of bettering myself.

I don’t have it all together. My dog will side eye me if I even claimed I did. I want you to know that we’re on this journey together though. Sure, I have literal skin in the game, but I’m right alongside you going through this eye-opening, spirit-awakening journey too.

No one is perfect, and even after working with me you still won’t be.

Losing and keeping off weight isn’t about perfection.

It’s about creating a healthy lifestyle that motivates you to keep going – not only because of the outside results but because of the inner impact.

It’s not about attainable standards. It’s not about trying to be and look like everyone else. It’s about showing up for yourself, taking up space, and being confident, knowing that any work you put in will pay off.

LET’S do something epic!
