Serving my community has always been my way- girl scout leader, bible school teacher, PTA chair, lunch mom, recess monitor, night missionary, boy scout popcorn kernel, community garden founder, creativity clubs, fortnightly, and Wellness House volunteer. I have enjoyed all of it immensely.
Now that my husband and I have been out of work since COVID (he's a theater stagehand) my purpose has shifted from volunteer to entrepreneur.
My why is to put food on the table so I am able to CONTINUE serving my community.
Let's be honest, my mission is to provide for my family which hopefully will grow into providing for the world. Yeah, it's about skills to pay the bills right now...

I am proud of these pieces of paper, but what makes me really light up, are the stories of my client's transformations. Their lives have truly changed because of fitness. ⭐️ Women who lacked energy and motivation at first were able to change into the best version of themselves. ❤️ A woman who couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, missing out on her child's upstairs classroom events, now participating in life and sharing in the smiles and joys of her children. 💫 Women who faced horrible pasts, start by hiding in the back row of class, not able to look in the mirror, then transform into front row divas. ✨ Courage, Confidence, and Strong Self-Care.💪I know the steps it takes and can lead you in your transformation.
If you ask me, there's never been a better time to get fit. The trick: find an exercise program that is proven to provide results, from someone you trust and respect. And then, after you've signed up, make sure to show up. And go all in!
