I realized I had been letting fear and nerves hold me back from pursuing my dreams. I know my weight and health issues subconsciously gave me an excuse not to face my fears.

I learned to take responsibility for my own life, start facing my fears and challenging myself. I developed a spiritual connection and practice that aligned with me. I learned to love myself and create happiness from within.

I met a life coach, who introduced me to the coaching field and positive psychology. I took a nutrition class and that led me to pursue health coach and personal training certifications. Through my fitness coursework I began strength training, which empowered me to be strong, physically and mentally. After a breakup, a friend suggested I make a 30 by 30 list and I took my first yoga class. That class changed my life. I walked to my car smiling and feeling happy.

I knew in that moment yoga was the tool but I was able to change my experience. I had the power.

I began practicing yoga multiple times a week. That eventually led me to become a group fitness instructor, yoga teacher and fitness trainer. I expanded my education in psychology with life coaching, nutrition and fitness. I am working on my Masters in Happiness Studies.

Some of my greatest teachers have been Mike Dooley, Jeannette Maw, Brooke Castillo, Tal Ben-Shahar, Abraham-Hicks, and Unity Spiritual Center and A Course In Miracles teachings.

Now I take courageous action. I know can do big epic things and still be nervous. I I know I’m just getting started. I changed my life, one belief, one thought, one affirmation, one flow, one workout, one day at a time.

Life coaching, positive psychology, yoga, strength training and manifestation transformed my life. Now I teach them!
