l’ve walked the path you might be on right now. My struggle with weight started early — I was overweight as a child, teenager, and young adult. In my early twenties, I decided to get serious about my health and lost over 60 pounds through changing my eating habits and becoming more active. I managed to keep the weight off for several years, but in my mid-30s, it started creeping back. During that time, I also battled lethargy and depression, which turned out to be symptoms of an autoimmune thyroid condition called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. With proper treatment and a dedicated fitness regimen, I shed those 60 pounds once more, and my mental health also improved.
Now at 41, I'm in the best shape of my life, enjoying weightlifting and natural bodybuilding as part of my daily activity. But don't worry, I'm not about that intense, "no pain, no gain" gym culture. I'm not a fitfluencer or former athlete, I'm just a regular person who has learned the skills needed to bring lasting change. Having been overweight for years of my life, I understand the journey firsthand: the struggles, setbacks, and all.
My approach is friendly, educational, and understanding — not intimidating. I became a personal trainer because I enjoy helping people and I've lived the challenges myself, not because I've always been fit. So what's holding you back? Let's start your transformative journey together. |
What Makes Me Different?
There are so many personal trainers and fitness programs out there, so what makes me and my approach different? A few things:
|
Mind-Body ConnectionAs a therapist and counselor with years of experience, I bring a unique edge to fitness coaching by integrating the mind and body. My approach transcends conventional methods, incorporating psychological techniques that boost motivation and prevent discouragement and self-sabotage. This holistic perspective allows me to design realistic and sustainable coaching programs that harmonize mental and physical health, ensuring you achieve and maintain your goals for years to come.
|
Workouts That Reward, Not PunishMany believe that a good workout means punishing yourself for every indulgence, but that’s not my style. I design workouts based on your current level of fitness. Whether you have access to a full gym or just some basic equipment at home (or even none at all), I can create a program that suits what’s available to you. My goal is to help you feel energized and capable, with exercises that evolve as you grow stronger and more confident.
|
A Realistic Approach to EatingForget about crash diets. I’m here to guide you through a flexible eating approach, which includes your favorite foods rather than eliminating them. Extreme diets are difficult to sustain and many people even regain the weight they lost (or gain even more) after they quit. My approach is about adding nutritious foods rather than taking away your favorite foods that make life a joy.

Coaching in Your PocketI've customized my own fitness app to make your journey as smooth and supportive as possible. Through the app, you can log your meals, learn new exercises, keep track of workouts, and even chat directly with me. Plus, we can do live video sessions for face-to-face coaching wherever you are. This app is your all-in-one tool for staying connected with me and on track with your fitness goals.
