I have been a BODi Partner for 7 years. This was a pivotal point in my life when I brought myself out of a dark place where I was NOT taking care of myself (working a ton of hours from home, eating junk, not exercising). I have taken control of my health and life through self-care and personal development. I’ve also gained an amazing community of like-minded women that I treasure. BODi is a great platform that allows me to provide workout and nutrition programs to my clients.

I became a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in January 2020. I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories – Ayurveda, gluten-free, Paleo, raw, vegan, macrobiotics, and everything in between.

In July 2021, I began virtual health coaching for a physician-supervised weight loss program, Compass Fat Loss (CFL) based in Connecticut. I taught patients how to follow the CFL program and support them on their journey. Many of them have a significant amount of weight to lose, and this is their last resort. They also have mindset issues and struggle with negative self-talk.

I recently became certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2. I am certified to help women navigate the many symptoms we experience as we age, connect them with appropriate lab testing (at a discount), read the labs, and recommend solutions to get them feeling better as quick as possible. Coaching and accountability are included!

Aside from practical experience with training and coaching clients, children, and parents, I also have a lot of personal experience and am on my own journey. Having two children obviously put a lot of strain on my body and mental health. Up until the past 2 school years, I worked a very demanding and stressful job. I have had a c-section, ablation (the female kind), back surgery, and bladder surgery. I’ve recovered from all of these and am back to working out. I’ve also dealt with food sensitivities and IBS. My boys and husband have food allergies. My own children have experienced their own struggles with mental health, and I have helped them with coping strategies.

I have learned SO much over the past several years and now have much more control over my life and CONFIDENCE! I know what to do and how to do it, unlike before. My mission is to help children AND their busy working mamas to take control of their lives through self-care and building manageable routines. When we know better, we do better. Mamas and children can work TOGETHER to create happy, healthy lives and decrease anxiety. I want to create a more positive, well-adjusted world!
