You could say I've been drawn to move my entire life. Throughout my younger years, I had played every sport out there and was always on the go. Despite being active, I had always struggled with my body image. I was naturally tall and lanky; welcome to the short torso and long-ass legs club! I had severe body dysmorphia, which stopped me from doing many things due to the shame and guilt I held over my body.
On another note, due to injuries acquired as a child and my diagnosis of mild scoliosis, I lived with back and neck pain the majority of my youth and saw a Chiropractor x2 days per week for almost nine years.
During the last year of high school into University, this led to disordered eating habits ( binging and purging), and I fell into a deep depression. Living anxiety-ridden and full of guilt, I came to a point in my life where I knew I had to change and needed to find answers. I didn't want to be limited by my pain anymore or limited because I hated my body.
At that point, I decided to get a gym membership. I met a friend who then coached me through a bikini competition, which led to me becoming certified as a Personal Trainer and starting my career in this field. I continued to fall in love with Strength training. I never thought it would be possible to be as strong as I was and not to be living with the pain that had limited me for so many years. When I became certified as an FRC Mobility Specialist, it sparked my passion for helping others mitigate pain, overcome injuries and achieve new levels of body control and movement freedom.
Nine years later, with many courses/certifications under my belt, I have built up my knowledge & experience in the fitness industry, and I am committed to calling out Diet and Fitness Bull S***. I focus my coaching around educating my clients so they truly understand their bodies and how to form long-lasting habits.
As an Online Fitness and Health Coach, my goal is to cultivate a strong supportive community of humans who have shared similar struggles regarding their bodies and health. I work with clients who want to be a part of a community and follow a program based on trust, compassion, education, structure, flexibility and fun.
I help clients learn to love their bodies in all stages and seasons of change. I need to show clients they can live life as their true selves, with intention and love. Whatever your goals are, I provide every client with a plan to get them there at their own pace.
Here's to focusing on progress, not perfection and falling in love with our TRUE strength and uniqueness.
