ABOUT ME

Passionate About Inspiring Others

I have been a fitness enthusiast trying everything and anything for years as I love the variety, lessons learned along the way and how exercising makes me feel. I have adapted my nutrition with new ways to eat as I have a family history of diabetes and don't want to become a diabetic.

It is my hope and dream to inspire those who show up for themselves in being healthy from the inside out. I want to empower people to live bravely, courageously, healthy and happy lives where they can feel their best on a daily basis through fitness, food & mindset. To live a life full of passion & purpose on their journeys to achieving their authentic selves and true potentials.

My
Story

It's a lifestyle...

Growing up on the family dairy farm, my family has mentored me to put the effort and work ethic into something I'm passionate about and find those who will support you along the way.

ENTER PASSION: Fitness & Health (and of course, teaching).

I have a passion for inspiring people to reach their goals and teach them that anything is possible, you just have to believe in yourself. But, to figure out where I've come in order to get here, you will have to understand where I've been. So, let me take you on a journey!

Let's start at the beginning...

As a young buck (look at that cutie), I loved going to the video store and renting out movies with my dad who would always buy me a treat. Yes, there was such a thing called VHS compared to today's Netflix and Disney+ world of discovery. I loved sweets and treats growing up. So, not much has changed there, but I have found ways to enjoy them by discovering healthy substitutes that don't pack on the calories and taste delicious, as well as creating Superfood desserts that keep me energized!!

The Fam Jam

Afterall, have you seen the size of my family? They require a lot of positive energy for birthday gatherings, family "meetings", Thurler metropolis hangouts, summer BBQ's and swims with the littles aka my nieces and nephews, and overall good fun!

Extraordinary Machine: The Human Body

Growing up isn't easy as a kid, believe me, being bigger than my peers, there were always challenges, but I never really truly thought they affected me as much as they did. Societies pressures and expectations to be a certain body image has destroyed the grace and beauty of the human body. It is an amazing machine and hence why I did my studies in Kinesiology and got my Can-Fit pro personal training certification, did my value just go up? (haha). It is meant to go through changes and develop and grow in different ways. That's where my true growth happened, when my mindset transformed into accepting how I feel and how healthy I am, my inside beauty versus my outside.

Mindset Tranforamtion

Which leads me into my transformation picture. Now, you may see a physical change, but I see a mindset change of mental toughness, discipline, goal setting & demolishing those goals, health esteem, as well as riding that cusp of catastrophe. You know that point where a surfer either rides the wave or eats....well, you know!! That line is where true growth, challenge and change happens and where I choose to live. Are you ready to ride the wave?

My mindset also pushed forward through meditation, journaling alongside my fitness programs as well as reading personal development books.

Don't stop it, swap it!!

Now enter BODi. After living the life diet of meat, potatoes & veggies (Farmlife), and all the good stuff my mom cooked us to keep us nourished, safe and full, it was time for a change. Despite the name (Beachbody, now BODi), the lessons learned along the way are extraordinary - it's all about choices and self-control. Gaining discipline and consistency has changed my life forever. Now, not choosing fries every time it's offered as a side at a restaurant, or chugging back some energize and recover for rest and recovery of my muscles is the true mini wins of each and every day!!

Busy Bee

Even though I lead a busy lifestyle, I wouldn't change it for the world. I can still schedule time for me, for my health and for my passion to inspire others by sharing my story and helping them with their roadmaps and journey's towards their goals.

REAL RESULTS are waiting for you? Are you ready? If I can do it, trust me, you can do it too, no matter what hectic schedule you may lead, kids and all!!

It's all about goal setting and how you set up your day. That's why goal setting is so important for me and I can teach you how to do it too!

***Disclaimer: These three pictures depict my life: "On the playground is where I spend most of my days" aka teacher, Power naps are the greatest gifts of farmlife aka exhibit A in the tractor, and exercising and fueling my body with nutritious and delicious food is kind of like my morning coffee, de-stressor and I actually enjoy exercising and the challenge to gain mental toughness.
