A Little About My Background
I am forever in the pursuit of the Art of Well-Being. I started my health and fitness journey back in the early 80s, during college, as an aerobics instructor (big hair, leg warmers and headbands…oh yeah!!). I later became a personal trainer and competitive body builder…which eventually evolved into health club ownership, and a variety of jobs within the health and fitness industry.
After a few life transitions, I went back to school and earned a degree in Applied Science; Physical Therapy. I maintain my license and keep up with continuing education, although no longer working in the field.
I’m now a retired Veteran Spouse, and frequent moves from state to state over the years made it challenging to have a career of my own. Military spouses tend to have careers or businesses that travel with them, or they just resign to playing the support role. I’ve enjoyed both roles, but I’m ready for more challenges and opportunities that speak to my passions and inspire me. I’ve started to enjoy some new opportunities in my 50s and feel like I’m mastering my mid-life; Amazon #1 Best Selling Published Author in Self Help in several countries (collaborative Journey to Riches Series), painting/artwork for charity and personal pleasure and meeting and helping people from around the world improve their health and fitness and feel more VIBRANT. I love coaching people to healthier versions of themselves via nutritional strategies, fitness programs, and mindset techniques, combined with a little biohacking. The Internet makes it possible to help people from just about anywhere.
At the age of 51, I entered the competitive arena again, as a masters figure and physique competitor and was very excited with the outcomes; 1st, 2nd and 3rd in a couple of NPC National Qualifiers for Figure and Physique. I thought I would never be able to do this again, due to bouts of debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. At times, I couldn’t even hold a coffee pot without two hands, or go down stairs without the aid of the railing and wincing in pain as I went. With strategic nutrition choices, modern medicine, and exercise, my condition has improved quite dramatically. However, optimal health is a balancing act, and I have found being proactive with my health has been much better than chasing it. Inflammation is no joke and it pops up in many forms/diseases and is the number one ager.
At the age of 52, I competed in my first international, drug tested, competition, placing second in the Masters Figture 45 and over and 3rd in the Open Physique (all ages). Seven months later, I went on to earn my Figure Pro card as Ms Figure Universe in Masters, in the International Fitness Universe. But honestly, my true passion is not in the competitive arena, (that’s just for fun) but it lies with pursuing the total package of health, strength and overall wellbeing and helping others to do the same. I’m feeling vibrant and full of energy that I once thought was only reserved for the youth. I’m a fitness fanatic and nutrition nerd, enjoy daily meditation and make an effort to learn something beneficial every day so that I may help myself grow as well as sharing with those who are also open and interested in improving themselves. I am passionate about helping people transform into a stronger happier healthier version of themselves; mind, body and soul.

Being strong, happy and healthy has to be intentional as we age. We took those things for granted in our youth, but as we mature and health issues crop up, or life responsibilities cause us increased stress, we realize the value true health. Our nutrition needs change and we have to learn to manage our stress.
Strength, happiness, and health are the result of deliberate choices and habits. It all starts in the mind. Mindset can help you or hinder you in your desire to experience a more vibrant life.
To experience a more youthful aging process, I am emphatic about the importance exercising consistently; incorporating strength training, proprioception/balance, flexibility and including either HIIT/EPOC training or moderate cardiovascular exercises (depending on individual limitations and goals). Nutrition plays a vital role in obtaining health and fitness goals and slowing down the aging process. The proper balance of macro and micronutrients can accelerate fitness goals, and the adverse is also true, which may cause some people to get discouraged, feel fatigued and give up on their pursuit. It’s critical to be smart about how our “right now” choices will affect our future self. Bad habits will eventually catch up through disease, obesity, fatigue, digestive issues, emotional health problems, etc., and then we have to chase our health to try to get our bodies back in balance. Medicine may be required to help with some of the symptoms, but is certainly not the cure. We need to take charge of our health and not just rely on medicine to ease our ails because we are too lazy to change our habits for our own good.
Be proactive, be intentional about choices to have quality of life by remaining physically independent throughout the aging process. By all means, try to avoid having to depend on someone else to wipe your butt.
I’ve gained extensive knowledge in the health and fitness field through scholastic education, over 35 years of experience and most of all, my insatiable quest for more knowledge and personal growth. I am excited to share information and guide other women (and men) towards their own healthy transformations. Exercise, proper nutrition and positive mindset are the fountain of youth (and NOT in that order). KEEP FIGHTING GRAVITY and giving GRATITUDE, my friends!!
