All my life, I’ve struggled with being overweight and facing myself in the mirror. The challenge became particularly difficult in the third grade when someone close to me bluntly said I was fat and overweight. That moment led to a strict physical routine every evening, and while I lost "the weight," the mental impact was profound. The pressure and criticism created a complicated relationship with food: something I still struggle with today. It’s always been a constant love/hate relationship with eating and how I feel about myself. Now that I’m over 30, I’ve come to understand my body and its needs—what works to lose fat and maintain strength. This journey takes time, patience, and self-compassion. Sometimes, we fall off-track, but the real strength lies in getting back up and continuing the journey. It’s easy to quit, but the choice to keep going, to improve, and to love yourself despite the setbacks is what truly matters. Keep moving forward! With over 10 years of experience coaching and training high school and adult soccer (including lifting as part of the regimen), and 6 years of lifting experience, my personal fitness journey has evolved. I’ve become much more serious and consistent with strength and agility training, all while maintaining balance at home with two kids. I’m here to help you on your journey, no matter where you’re starting from. I understand the challenges and will be here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work toward your health and fitness goals, helping you become the best version of yourself.
