I grew up with a single mother who fed me anything we could afford, namely highly processed foods that came in a box or bag. I knew nothing about nutrition. My saving grace was that I played sports in school. I could go to practice then binge on whatever was in the house. It took me entering college and not playing sports to realize I couldn’t just eat whatever I wanted without consequences. I gained weight and my body began paying the price. Fatigue, achy joints, and an overwhelming feeling of just blah hit me hard.

As someone who is a bit of a recovering extremist, I overcorrected… of course. I cut my calories and worked out like a fiend. Now don’t get me wrong, I lost weight. But I absolutely ruined my relationship with food and didn’t feel any better physically. I would restrict myself to only a small amount of “good” food until I couldn’t anymore. Then I would binge. Then the self-loathing would creep in, and I would punish myself by restricting calories more. Does this vicious cycle sound familiar?

One day I decided I didn’t want to live like that anymore, but I didn’t know any other way. I got certified as a personal trainer, earned a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and became a certified nutrition coach. I also took a particular interest in habit building and the psychology around health and fitness.

I healed my relationship with food and with my body. My mission in life is to help others do the same. I know how confusing and lonely this journey can be. I wish I had someone to show me the way and make the process a little less painful. Let me be that person for you!
