After studying everything from dance to culinary arts, veterinary medicine to psychology, I landed in the fitness industry. The last decade was a powerful training ground that left me both full of gratitude AND fed up with my industry. I spent most of my life searching for ways to prove myself, and in doing so, I ended up as a leader in my community and an example of physical discipline. What no one could see was that FEAR and a profound lack of trust in myself were driving my life.

My history of disordered eating, abusing my body with exercise, and paralyzing anxiety didn’t matter to the fitness and “health” industry as long as I could maintain a six-pack. My physical body was the gateway to both my deepest pain and now my most powerful transformation. It saved my life, and it is my responsibility to share that story. If I contribute to growing the connective tissue of our world by igniting truth in one other human, then my story isn’t wasted.

Now, I am driven to share my message and invite others along for the climb.
