Summary

After starting my health journey needing a cane to walk, I transformed my life—losing 80 pounds over three years while managing MS and colitis. This experience inspired me to become a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach. I help clients create practical fitness routines and guide them to design nutrition plans they enjoy eating every day. My personal journey gives me a unique understanding of the obstacles clients face, allowing me to motivate and support them every step of the way.
