It may come as a surprise to you, my body and especially my relationship with my body has not always been a picture of strength and health - so, if thats sounds familiar to you. I GET IT.
I may have a laundry list of accolades, but I did a lot of wrong things getting there. I used to push myself to the limit with three-a-day workouts for triathlons, hours of cardio for fitness competitions, and underfueling my body. This led to injuries, surgeries, and depression because I wasn't happy with my body or the results I was getting. I reached my tipping point when I was debating dropping out of dental school due to neck and back pain.
I had been an athlete all my life and why was my body failing me? Why was I not in the shape I desired? It was pursuing these questions -my failures that I found my passion. A passion for what fitness and nutrition can do and transform for you if your approach is on point. There is a balance of hard work and self-care, and you can be laser focused on your fitness goals while staying in alignment with total body wellness.
My story has fueled my passion to not only better my own wellness through the years, but spread awareness and help teach others how they can achieve a balanced wellness and lifestyle while still achieving their goals in a healthy and sustainable way!

I am so thankful to be a part of the Femme Strong Team! Working with Desiree has helped me establish a better routine for my overall health and wellness.
I have made sleep, nutrition, hydration, and strength building a priority to improve my quality of life. Desirée has worked with me to design a program that allows me to modify different exercises to take into consideration my limitations and still accomplish my workout goals. She created a meal plan that gave me options for variety and avoid my food sensitivities beautifully! I love that Desirée is on my side, helping me as I need it and available to answer questions and provide motivation as needed! I have tried everything to get in shape and I am so thankful to finally have an overall plan that works and is making a difference for me! I highly recommend Desirée’s Femme Strong Team if you are looking for a fitness coach that personalizes your routine to fit your needs and your lifestyle! She is amazing!

I am so grateful that I met you! Inspired immediately by your guns 💪 and passion for nutrition and fitness, I have been all in from the get go! I have worked with a lot of trainers and I have yet to meet one as incredible as YOU! You care so much about your people! I was part of a Bootcamp and yet felt like I had one on one concierge attention! Check in’s on work outs and food plans. Adjusting as needed. The APP is so user friendly and I loved the videos to reference!!! In the past when I have worked with online trainers I have had to spend half my time looking up machines on google! This has made my workouts speedy and smooth. The combination of fitness and food and overall passion and encouragement from you has made working out FUN!! I love all of the inspiration you bring!!!
Loved the workouts and being able to follow along with the videos. They were powerful and didn’t take up a lot of time to do!

It was great for a busy lady like me to have “no thinking” food options or meal plan that was easy to maintain! Thank you!!
Her words of love and compassion when I was incredibly harsh on myself for not being more consistent were heartfelt and motivating.
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Coach Desirée and learned so much. She is very encouraging inspiring. Her words of love and compassion when I was incredibly harsh on myself for not being more consistent were heartfelt and motivating. She reminded me to not be cruel on myself and to focus on little changes everyday. I would encourage those women interested in learning more about fitness to work with her. Thank you Coach Desirée for helping me and for inspiring me to achieve a better routine for fitness.
Thanks to her I have officially kept the habit of consistently working out with weights 3 times per week and my nutrition has improved greatly!
Desirée is one of the most inspiring women I know. When we first met, I was 6 months back into my fitness journey. Desirée took myself and a small group of women and gave us so much confidence in ourselves. She also helped solidify the belief that getting fit and strong is possible for ALL Women. She has amazing attention to detail and great listening skills. She was able to ask me empowering questions to better understand my fitness and nutrition journey. She then created a custom plan for me to follow. I love that she meets you where you are at.. She also does a great job checking in with you and making sure you understand the program. I love all she has to offer. Thanks to her I have officially kept the habit of consistently working out with weights 3 times per week and my nutrition has improved greatly!
