For decades, fitness was a central part of my life. But when my children hit high school, the busyness of family life took over, and I slowly neglected my own well-being. In my upper 40s, the consequences arrived. I struggled with weight gain, fatigue, and declining strength. Deep down, my mental and spiritual health suffered too; I lacked the ambition to enjoy life the way knew I could and was missing the stamina to serve God's people the way I was designed to do.

At age 50, I decided it was time to reclaim my life! I stepped back into the gym, armed with an accountability partner and the strength I knew I could access through prayer. As I paired fitness with intentional sustainable nutritional shifts, everything began to transform-physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Today, I am back to hiking the woods with my husband and dogs, playing volleyball, and living with vibrant energy. I have built the physical stamina and mental capacity to serve my family, love others, and play with my grandson (and future grandbabies!) for years to come. I am truly living Fully Alive, using the gifts God gave me to fulfill the purpose He intended for my life.

My journey showed me how challenging it is to change long-term habits—and opened my eyes to how many others are fighting these same battles. You don't have to do it alone! I firmly believe in bettering our health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually at any age.

In 2022, guided by my own transformation and years of experience in gym environments, athletics, teaching, and coaching, I pursued personal training, nutrition coaching and being a wellness mentor in a fitness center.

Now, with a deep desire to help more people step into their own purpose, I have expanded my coaching beyond a single gym location. Now, I am available to guide you right where you are—whether that means training at your local gym, coaching you in your home, or connecting virtually across the country.

I would love to help you reach your health and fitness goals and step into the purposeful, energetic life you were created for! We don’t chase perfection. Together, one choice and one effort at a time, lets discover your Fully Alive!
