Holistic Health and Wellness Approach
A Greater Sense of Well-Being
I believe that a healthy lifestyle isn't a quick fix, it's a lifelong journey. I believe in loving and accepting yourself for who you are in the moment. Food should be more than a way to change the number on a scale, and exercise should be enjoyable, not a means to an end. Optimum wellness is achieved with a sustainable balance of movement, sound nutrition, restful sleep and mindfulness. This is exactly what I coach my clients through, aligning each pillar of wellness with their unique lifestyle and goals, one step at a time.
One Size Does NOT Fit All
Everyone requires a unique blueprint. As your Personal Trainer and Health Coach, I provide a safe space to share your health concerns and develop a deeper understanding of lifestyle choices that work best for you. I thoroughly enjoy the process of getting to know my client's unique challenges and goals for better health and wellness.
Committing to a Healthier Lifestyle
Self-Determination & Daily Commitment
Better than any pill, powder or latest fad diet is your self-determination. Quick fixes and short-term changes will not build lean muscle, sturdy bones, a healthy gut or any other sustainable health goal. Results take time and daily commitment. Make a promise to your future self to build healthier habits to support your body as you age.
Forming New Habits for the Long-Haul
Forming a new habit (or breaking down an old one) requires a highly personal approach. With the right strategy, enough time and repetition new habits can be formed. Starting small with low-effort behaviors such as drinking more water or taking your vitamins daily can boost your confidence. Small successes lead to a bigger motivation to practice self-care in the future.
How We Break our Bodies Down on a Daily Basis
Too Much Time Sedentary
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Countless hours at a desk job, long hours commuting, carting kids to sports and social activities to finally crashing to watch a movie or read a book. A lack of activity can leave you feeling more tired and can contribute to muscle aches and joint pain.
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Stress is stress is stress. Long days coupled with career and family challenges can leave you feeling exhausted. Add in poor sleep and stress can be exacerbated. If you have a short fuse, a lack of patience, and feeling anxious you may be over-stressed.
Lack of Whole Nutrition
Constantly Stressed and Tired
Lack of Whole Nutrition
Following the latest restrictive diet that lacks sound nutrition can deprive our bodies of key micro and macro nutrients. Without proper nutrition weight loss/managament can be hampered. Many popular diets come and go with pounds lost and gained.
