IT'S EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE

BUSY WOMEN BEING TOLD THAT THEY NEED RIDICULOUSLY LONG, IMPRACTICAL, AND OVERLY-COMPLICATED WORKOUT PLANS

​

OVERWHELMED WOMEN WHO ARE STUCK IN ALL-OR-NOTHING MINDSETS, SO THEY ARE DOING...NOTHING

​

USELESS DIETS AND MEAL PLANS (THE CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI KIND) EVERYWHERE​

​

EXTREMES OF ALL KINDS (WAIST TRAINERS, SKINNY TEAS, DIET PILLS) 

​

WOMEN WHO DON'T HAVE SUPPORT (PRACTICAL, REAL-LIFE, NO BS SUPPORT) WHEN THEY’RE TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE CHANGES

we need to stop the insanity.

FITNESS DOES NOT NEED TO BE THIS COMPLICATED (AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER ON EVERY LEVEL WHEN IT'S NOT.)

I HEAR YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU WANT FEEL GOOD IN YOUR BODY AGAIN, GET STRONGER, HAVE CONFIDENCE, AND FULL OF ENERGY, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE, AND START SHOWING UP AS YOUR BEST SELF. I GET THAT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU - YOU AMAZING, BADASS WOMAN - DEFINITELY DON’T NEED? ANOTHER FREAKING DIET. ANOTHER DRAIN ON YOUR TIME. ONE MORE FITNESS CRAZE TO TRY TO WADE THROUGH TO MAKE YOU QUIT BEFORE YOU EVEN START.

AND THAT IS WHY I’M TAKING FITNESS BACK-TO-BASICS. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO FINALLY GET THE RESULTS YOU DESERVE BY TAKING THE OVERWHELM OUT OF FITNESS.

MAMA OF FOUR

SIX YEARS AGO, I COULDN'T DO A SINGLE PUSH-UP. I COULD HARDLY CARRY A BASKET OF LAUNDRY UP THE STAIRS WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF BREATH.

I'D HAD TWO BABIES, THIRTEEN MONTHS APART, AND DEFINITELY DIDN'T HAVE TIME OR ENERGY FOR FITNESS.

ONE DAY, WHILE STARING INTO A FULL-LENGTH MIRROR AT THE MALL, I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I SAW STARING BACK AT ME.

I DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE MYSELF.

I WAS EXHAUSTED AND SORE ON THE DAILY.

I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I FELT EVEN SLIGHTLY OK ABOUT MY BODY, LET ALONE WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN SKIN.

NOTHING FIT AND I COULDN'T FIND CLOTHES I FELT GOOD IN.

I NO LONGER WALKED INTO TO A ROOM FEELING CONFIDENT OR HAD THE STRENGTH AND ENERGY TO DO BASIC, EVERYDAY TASKS.

I DECIDED IN THAT MOMENT TO OVERHAUL MY LIFESTYLE AND I'VE NEVER LOOKED BACK. 

​

​

BY COMMITTING MYSELF TO SMALL CHANGES,

INCLUDING 20 MINUTE AT-HOME WORKOUTS,

​

I LOST 80 LBS,

FELL IN LOVE WITH FITNESS,

AND WATCHED THE NEW LIFESTYLE I HAD FORMED CHANGE MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I BECAME SO PASSIONATE ABOUT EMPOWERING OTHER WOMEN TO REACH THEIR GOALS THAT I BECAME A CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER AND A PRE AND POSTNATAL SPECIALIST.

I NOW TEACH WOMEN HOW TO GET RESULTS BY MAKING SMALL, SUSTAINABLE CHANGES, HOW TO DITCH THEIR DIETS AND ALL-OR-NOTHING MINDSETS, AND HELP THEM TO BUILD THE MODERATE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THAT WORKS FOR THEM.

​

i have been that woman,

DESPERATE FOR A CHANGE.

I KNOW HOW TO GET YOU THE RESULTS YOU WANT IN A WAY THAT RESPECTS YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE.

I KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THE IMPORTANT BASICS FROM THE UNNECESSARY FLUFF THAT IS RAMPANT IN THE FITNESS INDUSTRY.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH JUST ANOTHER DIET OR PHASE; I WANT TO GET YOU STARTED LIVING THE LIFE YOU DESERVE.

IT'S TIME TO LEAVE THE EXTREMES, THE OVERLY-COMPLICATED, THE OVERWHELM, THE TIME-CONSUMING, AND THE ALL-OR-NOTHINGS BEHIND.

​

IT'S TIME TO TAKE PRACTICAL, REALISTIC STEPS TO BRING OURSELVES CLOSER TO OUR GOALS EACH DAY. 

​

IT'S TIME FOR THE BETTER DAYS OF SIMPLICITY, BALANCE, REAL TALK, AND RESULTS.

IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET STARTED REACHING YOUR GOALS.

it's time to get back to basics
