I'll empower you to reach your health & wellness goals!

Here's my story...

Athletics, Fitness & Wellness have been part of my life for a good long while… from being a “tomboy” as a kid climbing trees to cheer leading, running track in junior high and finally, 100% percent unintentionally becoming a Competitive Power Lifter while dabbling with weights at World Gym in Lake Orion, Michigan.

My Power lifting journey began, with logging food intake and exercise daily, learning about the nutrients in the vegetarian diet I was ingesting during, while and after a competition. Noting the correlation in performance and running with my findings in creating a protocol for a healthy, strong, competitive body. 

While training for a final Power lifting competition, I was in a serious car crash, it left me with a head injury, chronic neck pain, numbness, dizziness, ear ringing & strength issues. The timing was horrible! Not just because I was training for a final Power Lifting meet,  I was working fulltime, maintaining a family, home and highly competitive sales position aka road warrior! 

I chose to remove obstacles, and to find through trial and error long -lasting solutions to live joyfully again. I started a plan that included a routine of gentle exercise, movement, yoga classes, walking, swimming and light therapeutic band work. It was a slow recovery process trying anything and everything to stay positive even with the weight piling on.  I found cleaner, Vegan food choices, reaching for fewer processed foods and more whole foods. I monitored food quantities again and got back to a form of health that has become my "new normal." 

There was no choice but to become the CEO of my life!

In 2014, I studied Reiki energy work, became a yoga teacher, learned clinical massage therapy and began sharing my new found knowledge as a side gig after work.  In 2020, achieving a Health Coaching certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and started “Zest for Life Health Coaching” which was directly inspired by my personal experience and deep desire to help others on their journey. I found my purpose. To guide my clients into becoming their own “CEO” of Health & Wellness! 

I am honored to work with you, empower you, and support you in addressing your unique concerns and hold you accountable in achieving your goals -Holistically!
