I spent most of my adult life overweight, overstressed, and depressed. My overall health suffered, and no matter how many times I tried to lose weight, I couldn’t make progress. I approached weight loss from different mindsets, but nothing worked...
…Finally, I hit a breaking point. Even though I was married and had small children, I felt so hopeless that I considered taking my own life. At that moment, I realized I had a choice: either take my life or take my life back.
I chose to take my life back.
The first step was cutting sugar from my nutrition plan. Immediately, I noticed positive changes in my mood, energy levels, and sleep. That small but powerful step led me into a 15-month journey of self-love and consistent self-care.
During that time, I worked through the emotional weight I had been carrying and ultimately lost 103 pounds. However, the biggest transformation was the way I learned to love myself again.
To deepen my understanding and help others, I pursued formal education and certifications. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Nutrition from the University of North Dakota.
In addition, I hold the following certifications:
Today, I am passionate about educating, motivating, and inspiring others to break free from their own limitations. No matter where you are today, you have the power to grow into the best version of yourself. I’m here to show you how.
