As a young adult, I was able to “out-train” a marginally decent standard American diet by dancing every day, taking aerobics and weight training classes throughout high school.

In college was when that plan (and habits) went south. I became mostly sedentary, which, combined with a diet of campus food and fast food, lent itself to a 20-pound weight gain over a 6-month time frame.

This was when I started “dieting.” (Sound familiar?)

For the next seven years, I struggled with my weight. I was losing it, gaining it back, losing more, and gaining that back too. I stopped looking at myself in the mirror because I didn’t like what I saw and the emotional roller coaster that accompanied all this made it even worse.

It was June 2006 when I finally looked at myself in the mirror again. Over the next 14 months, I lost 80 pounds. I thought my health journey was finished when I lost the weight, but it was honestly just the beginning. By hitting rock bottom in my health, I was able to see why some clients saw results and others didn’t.

My goal is for you to achieve more than weight loss. I want you to achieve balance first in your energy level, confidence, mindset, schedule, and relationships. Sustainable weight loss and health will follow, and I will be there with you every step of the way.
