Growing up I was always an athlete. I played 4 sports most of my life and received high honors in all of them. Basketball was my favorite and I had multiple college offers to play at the next level. Unfortunately life had other plans for me and I did not get to live out that dream. But beyond any specific sport, competing was the thing I enjoyed the most. No matter what it was sports, board games, racing to the car with my brother, I loved the thrill of competing. When I got to college I felt a little lost not having that. I loved the structure and discipline that came with sports. I loved the team and community aspect. And to be honest I was pretty down without having anything organized to do. I wanted to find something I could do to get that back. I tried recreational sports which were fun but never seemed like enough of a challenge. I even tried college cheerleading! But still, just wasn’t quite the same level of intensity I was looking for.

That’s when I found the gym. At 20 years old I started working out and my whole life changed. At first I just did it for fun. And then I realized that with the gym I could compete with myself every single day. I could push my body to look a certain way. Move a certain way. Perform a certain way. And I absolutely loved it. After lifting for about a year I stumbled into an old school hardcoree gym in my town. I had no clue what I was doing but I knew how to work hard and stick to a plan when I wanted to achieve a certain goal. And then I found bodybuilding. The hardest, most structured thing I’d ever done in my life. It required a level of discipline I’d never had before even with playing sports my whole life. I learned how to take care of my body. I learned how to eat right. I learned how to cook and meal prep. I learned how to diet and follow a strict plan in order to achieve a desired look.

While doing this I also earned my degree from the University of Toledo. I have a bachelors of science in health and a minor in counseling. Learning to manage my school, bodybuilding and also working as an in person trainer taught me so much about how to build my dream body, while still improving my education and earning a degree. Over the last 10 years I’ve spent my time mastering my craft. I went onto compete in multiple shows. I won multiple overalls. Won my class at a national show. And built the body I dreamed of having when I was young. I continued to refine my skills in training clients spending over a decade training in person. And have spent the last 6 years building an online brand and team working with individuals from all walks of life. I’ve helped ceos manage their life while traveling the country for work. I’ve helped the mom and dad who work full time and are tryin to raise a family learn how to still find time for their health and wellness. I’ve coached multiple competitors to the stage and have had multiple class wins and top 5 finishes. And now I get to coach full time and help other people realize what’s possible with the right plan and approach in life.

Growing up, despite my success I always struggled with confidence. And learning to overcome that has been a major key to growing a successful business, finding the woman of my dreams, and building a mind and body I’m proud of. Not only do I teach people how to look good, I teach them how to believe in themselves as well. My motto since day one has been “health is more than just the physical.” I teach people that their mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial health is equally as important as their physical if they want to be truly successful. I coach because I grew up with no one to show me how to do that. I was raised by a single mother and grandmother with not much other family and spent alot of my life raising myself. No direction. No guidance. No self belief. But after years of trial and error, I’m happy to say not only have I found this in my own life, but I’ve helped so many others find it in theirs too.
