When you’ve changed so much that you don’t even recognize the old version of yourself, that is the point where you know you’ll never go back.

That was a commitment I made to myself when I declared I would kick the yo-dieting pattern once and for all. Triggered by childhood trauma, I became a food addict at a very early age. I struggled with chronic illness and clinical depression from then on into my early 20’s. It was a pain I thought I’d never escape.

When a third doctor tried to medicate me for depression, I commited every ounce of energy to finding my own way out.

Not an easy task when you’re working and going to school full time.

I started by retraining my brain to think about food differently. I learned how to meditate and choose a different story about who I was and what was possible for me. I taught myself how to weight train effectively so that, while I was losing the weight, I could also build a body I would be proud of.

In the end, I lost 80 pounds and CRUSHED depression and chronic illness. And I did it with a crazy schedule and ‘no time’ to prioritize my health.

That success launched my career as a coach back in 2004. I knew there were far too many people suffering the way I was and I couldn’t stand to keep watching that happen.

If you’re ready to take your power back, to put your health first, I’m here to walk the path with you.
