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!
