I used to answer 'yes' to all of those questions.

​

I grew up in a household where healthy foods and exercise were the standard. When I went to college, the values I grew up with didn't really matter to me. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and did not exercise. I was low on energy, low in confidence & self esteem, and looked to relationships to validate my worth. Food was also a coping mechanism at that time. However, after a tough break-up, I used the gym as my new constant, and I became obsessed with how the gym was making me look on the outside. I was restrictive with my food & felt horrible about myself when I would eat "cheat meals"; but food was something that I thought of from the moment I woke up to the time I fell asleep.

​

When I graduated college, I fell in love with running, which allowed me to form a healthier relationship with my body and food for several months, but I eventually circled back to hating what I saw in the mirror, and developed an extremely unhealthy relationship with food.

​

After this went on for a couple years, I was tired of being a bully to myself, feeling like I was trapped in my own body and mind. However, I had always wanted to help people with their health, so I started working as a personal trainer out of a commercial gym for over two years. However, the gym became a place of pressure and self-loathing, so I went to live out of my truck for some time, to figure out my thoughts and take a break from society, life, and a MIRROR. When I returned home, I dove straight into health & life coaching, learning and being coached by other life coaches...and I'll never look back. Going through the health & life coaching program allowed me to view food as a partner to help me, and gave me the clarity of how to achieve the life I've always dreamed of living. 

​

I learned to love listening and taking care of my body, and I want everyone to be able to experience that freedom and peace with their mind, body, and soul; that's why I'm so passionate about health & life coaching, and am eager to help YOU along your journey!!
