Every meaningful path has unexpected turns. Mine began as a 15-year-old girl discovering strength in a local gym—and over the years, it wound through classrooms, private homes, fitness communities, and the raw realities of motherhood.

Each chapter revealed a deeper truth: transformation is possible when we care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

What started as personal curiosity became a professional mission. I’ve spent decades helping extraordinary women reconnect with their inner strength—not through restriction, shame, or hustle, but through radical self-compassion, science-backed strategies, and support that meets you exactly where you are.

Rooted in Strength, Fueled by Compassion

Experiences That Shaped My Purpose

Age 15: Discovering Inner Strength

I’m so grateful that a friend’s older brother owned a gym where I grew up. He showed us the movements but, I learned that strength isn’t just physical—it’s the quiet confidence that comes from showing up for yourself, even when it’s hard. The past 30 years in a weight room taught me that consistency—not perfection—is what builds inner strength.

The Power of Community & Movement

I saw something incredible unfold during my years as a weight lifting and CrossFit coach: people rewriting their stories through movement and connection. I witnessed how physical strength builds inner strength—and how true change flourishes in safe, encouraging communities. Now owners of Brazen Fitness, my husband and I continue to grow as humans and leaders.

Behavioral Science Meets Coaching

As a teacher then Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I spent nearly a decade immersed in the science of teaching, learning, and behavior change . I learned that transformation isn’t about willpower—it’s about creating systems and environments - including those in your mind and body- that support the life you want. That science became the backbone of my coaching philosophy.

Dismantling Diet Culture

Coaching, and the drive to truly help my clients gave me new perspective on body image, wellness, and shame. It was the final nudge toward my calling: to help women unlearn the harmful messaging of diet culture and come home to themselves. This work isn’t only about food—it’s about freedom. It’s about rewriting your relationship with your body and owning how powerful you really are.
