I was going through the motions of life as a first time mom when one day, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I had no spark, life, and had gained a ton of weight. My hair was a mess. I lived in oversized shirts and sweatpants because that was all that fit, and I didn't have "time" to take care of myself. Somewhere along the lines of nurturing and caring for my son, I had forgotten to do the same for myself.
I was depressed, overweight, and irritable. The year was 2021, and I realized that for the first 1.5 years of my son's life, I had been in survival mode. Who even am I anymore? What are my hobbies? What do I do for fun? I'm in my twenties but I'm living like I'm in my fifties!
Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind shortly before I decided to take control of my life and prioritize my own health and well-being. How did I even get here? I used to be fit. I used to go out, sing, and dance. I used to eat healthy, and now I'm none of those things. I love my baby but I hate who I've become. This can't be the life God has for me. How do I get back....to me?
After spending some time feeling sorry for myself, I realized that nothing would change unless I changed.
I got to this place because of my actions, I thought. That means I can get to where I want to be and find myself again too. I need to be more disciplined, manage my time better, and make myself a priority again. This doesn't mean I don't love my baby. In fact, by doing this, I can show up better for him because he'll have a happy mom instead of a sad, depressed, and overwhelmed one.
I strongly believe in ✨Romans 8:28✨ , which says that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"
By His grace, I realized that I could put my Master's Degree in Health and Wellness Coaching to use on myself by implementing the positive psychology and change management principles I learned during the two year program.
I graduated in August 2019, right before I got pregnant, and thought my degree was a waste and of no use. BUT GOD had a plan and was working it out for my good.
By making practical, sustainable changes in my diet, exercise, and mindset, I not only shed the weight (80+ pounds!!), but I regained the confidence, energy, and joy that I thought I had lost forever.
This transformational journey ignited a deep passion to help other moms (especially those feeling stuck, exhausted, or discouraged) find balance, reclaim their health, and restore their sense of self.
My coaching practice is built on a foundation of positive psychology, Biblical principles, and holistic wellness. I encourage my clients to practice discipline, eat nourishing whole foods, and find ways to move their bodies that they enjoy—because a joyful, healthy body is a gift from God that we need to steward well..
When you work with me, you will receive a balanced approach that blends evidence-based wellness strategies with spiritual wisdom from Scripture (the Holy Bible).
I am deeply committed to providing you with practical, compassionate guidance that will help you rediscover the best version of yourself—not just for you, but for your family.
Mama, I know how easy it is to put yourself last, especially when you’re juggling motherhood, cooking, cleaning, activities, work, and everything in between. I've been there, and I’m here to remind you that when you take care of yourself, your entire family benefits.
✨Your children deserve a mother who is healthy, happy, and whole. And mom, you deserve to feel vibrant, confident, and empowered again✨
