For many of us, “health” is not a neutral topic. It’s personal. It’s emotional. It can even be raw.
These emotions don’t always mix well in a culture that pushes empty promises and instant transformations. And if you’ve had bad experiences in the past, the journey toward health can feel even harder.
I have experienced this firsthand. Maybe you can relate to one or more of these challenges:
These challenges are real. But they don’t have to define you or your health journey! You can move toward freedom and peace.
Here’s how that journey started for me…
At nineteen-years-old, I weighed 142 pounds. This fact was important to me in relation to one thing: the size of my Guess Jeans (you know—the ones with the triangle on the back pocket). And at 5’3”, my jean size wasn’t what I wanted.
That’s when I committed to my first DIET.
Like a lot of people, I assumed “diet” was synonymous with “lack.” My younger self believed that getting healthy related mostly to fitting into nice jeans and depriving myself to do so.
It wasn’t until I became a health coach that I realized how wrong I’d been to link physical health with depriving myself. I started to grasp what proper nutrition was, and created new habits for myself and others that sparked transformation and lifelong change.
But even with those habits, it took even longer (plus a lot of Ben & Jerry’s) for me to recognize that I was living to eat, not eating to live. I failed to recognize that I was trying to feed a full stomach in order to satisfy an empty heart.
One night on the sofa with a heavy heart and my spoon buried in a pint of ice cream, I realized that I needed a change. It wasn’t enough to know about nutrition and health habits. I also needed spiritual transformation to overcome emotional eating.
With this insight, plus a lot of practice and prayer, I learned how to shift my cravings toward the Source that can truly satisfy and fulfill.
Using both of these pieces—nutrition and habits PLUS spiritual encouragement—I’ve created a health coaching program that’s leveled-up mine and my family’s health.
If some or all of my personal story resonates with you, there’s hope! I believe that transformation is possible—I’ve experienced it myself. I’m healthier, stronger, and more energetic now in my forties than I was as a teenager in Guess jeans.
I also believe that you weren’t meant to take this journey alone.
Let me help you learn the same key things that changed my life, and avoid mistakes I’ve made.
Together through coaching with me you will:
This journey isn’t about having a perfect body.
I coach you to have internal strength.
If you find yourself in an unhealthy place, perhaps you have been living to eat, not eating to live. It’s time to make a change. Start with the first step here…
When I started pursuing healthier living years ago, I never dreamed that it would lead to a successful business. And yet that’s exactly what happened.
In seven years I’ve watched my team and income grow beyond my expectations, and have been SO blessed by the doors that have opened.
It all started when I was pacing the dirty grey carpet at an indoor trampoline park. I was constantly counting 1, 2, 3, 4 making sure all my “littles” were alive and within earshot. I had a bag of snacks in a big bag I snuck in over my shoulder because it was everything I had to even buy the tickets for a day at this place.
Finances were scarce, I was afraid, my physical body was exhausted and I was running every day as a box that had to be checked for fear I’d gain weight which brought my mind more stress than pounding the pavement coul relieve.
I was tired and often watching the clock in my parenting routine. I was hurt relationally yet hopeful for what could be. I was determined and ready to receive but felt lost as to how to get what I knew could be possible.
And here I was pacing the dirty grey carpet eyes peeled for kids while talking on the phone with Thea. The conversation was an invitation to come and see a community that offered transformation and a business that would enable me to create health in my body, mind and finances.
I said YES!
Now I am convinced, abundant, generous, full hearted as a mom, assured in my purpose, physically fit, excited about my health, tenacious about transforming others. And inspired about the future.
It didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a decade of deciding, dreaming and doing. My “survival” trajectory changed and is DIFFERENT than desperate. In fact my cup overflows.
It is such a privilege to have a worthy income-generating vehicle that enables a lot of “YES!” in my life.
Even better than the financial benefits this business has offered, it’s exciting to be part of someone’s progress! Walking through transformation and seeing lives change is hugely rewarding.
I am all about community. On my team, it’s nutrition, it’s fitness, it’s mindset and it’s done TOGETHER.
