About Me

It seems I’ve been moving in some form or another all my life. Looking back on my childhood days they were filled with riding my bike and playing sports with my neighborhood friends. As I became a young adult, I continued being active and felt I was in the top tier category of living a healthy lifestyle. That is until I was in my late twenties, and I learned of my borderline high cholesterol. Until this point, I did eat any and everything I wanted without a second thought of how it impacted my body. I loved me some fried chicken wings and mac & cheese. But after this revelation, I assessed my eating habits, which marked the start of a new wellness journey.

However, it wasn’t until I obtained my group fitness and personal training certifications that I discovered I could not just only run or do aerobics classes, or just do strength training, or just eat healthy and be completely healthy. I gained the understanding that proper nutrition, cardio, and strength training must all work together to achieve those optimal fitness goals and help sustain a healthy lifestyle. And today, as a certified health and wellness coach who focus on the whole person I now know that sleep and stress management are key components added to the list for healthy lifestyle living.

My journey has been diverse, from competitive bodybuilding to becoming an avid tennis and golf player as well as running marathons and triathlons.  I love challenges and changing things up. Each challenge taught me the importance of setting goals and following through with accountability. It also gave me a chance to discover what I liked and didn’t like. When you do physical activities you enjoy you don’t look at it as a form of exercise. It’s just something you love doing and you just so happen to be gaining the benefits of being active while doing it.  A win-win.  That’s the key to making it a part of your lifestyle.

I have a deep desire to empower women to live long healthy lives. Let’s eliminate being sedentary, which ultimately results in you struggling to do basic everyday functions like walking up a set of stairs, carrying groceries or picking up that precious child or grandchild without getting out of breath.

We owe it to ourselves to thrive and ensure that we can be present and active for life’s precious moments with our children, grandchildren, and loved ones. I know that, even more, now that I run and play with my little ones who call me Nana and G-Ma. We all must have a “WHY”. My “WHY” includes being able to spend quality active time with my family and friends to enjoy laughter, good food, wine & spirits, along with lots of travel.

What is your “WHY”? Let’s work together to “Execute Your Power” to make it happen.
