How I got here...my fitness story
I am a mom in my mid 40's that loves fitness and helping others reach their health and fitness goals! I started my career as a bilingual elementary school teacher over 19 years ago. I had my two children and decided to work part time teaching and during that time, had many ups and downs within my own fitness journey. Between raising kids, running to practices, cooking for a family, and life in general, I had to find a balance between my family, working, and trying to find the time to keep myself healthy and in shape. Each decade of life has definitely brought a new perspective on how I eat and train myself. I decided 4 years ago to get certified as a NASM personal trainer and I haven't looked back since. Truthfully, I enjoying watching clients progress not only physically but mentally as well. As one gets older, you realize it's not about what you look like but how you feel. I have had numerous setbacks throughout the years with injuries, surgeries, and overall age issues. They are roadblocks that a person has to navigate around and find a detour. Now that my kids are older and I have more free time, I play USTA tennis regularly, enjoy hiking, water skiing and snow skiing. I did a Spartan Beast (planning on doing a TriFecta by the end of 2018), and started lap swimming for cardio in addition to my workouts. Life fitness is a journey... Let me help you find a new healthy you! Remember, healthy eating and exercise are forever, find things you love.
