The hurtful comments came my way in childhood and made its way through adulthood. Those close and not so close to me freely shared their opinions about my body.

“Noodle arms”, “chicken legs”, “grandma butt” changed to “you look manly” and “are you sure everything is okay?” (with loving intentions) when I gained 15 pounds.

During my time at university, I saw my family members struggle with high blood pressure, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, resorting to a cocktail of medication to help manage their condition, while I was learning about how lifestyle can prevent all these ailments.

At 14 years old, I started lifting weights to increase my muscle mass and performance in sport, and instantly fell in love with how capable and strong I felt.

When I was a few years in my competitive soccer career at 16 years old, I tore a ligament in my knee and have had a couple knee surgeries since. I fell in love with the rehab process and LOVED getting strong again.

From sitting on my tushie over the pandemic, I’ve developed sciatica and have used strength, mobility, and belief systems coaching to manage all sorts of chronic pain.

Since 2014, I’ve learned how to manage depression and anxiety with movement being my medicine, as medication wasn’t serving me early on.

Changing my diet over the last couple years has decreased inflammation in my body, eliminating my acne and improving my chronic pain management.

From my teens into my mid-twenties, I experienced situations that made my body feel like an unsafe place, at times I’ve felt that I was not good enough, nor worthy of love.

Which now I know this couldn’t be farther from the truth.

After what my body and mind have experienced, I have endured tremendous growth personally and professionally through over a decade of coaching, rehab, therapy and helping others on their wellness journey.

My wellness vision is to live without pain and chronic disease, and with ease and enthusiasm to do the things I love most, with who I love most.

Becoming physically and mentally strong and confident has CHANGED MY LIFE for the better.

And for that reason, I’ve collected my learnings into a 1on1 coaching experience to…

Help humans experience this growth.

Guide others in loving, caring for and trusting their bodies.

Reprogram and heal from what we’ve be taught to believe about our bodies healing and performance.
