I'm a Precision Health Alliance endorsed health professional with a Masters degree in Health Promotion and Kinesiology. I started my career as a High Risk Health Director in Charlotte, NC, conducting fitness assessments and health risk evaluations for hundreds of clients. Then I moved to Cozumel, Mexico, where I spent 22 years building a life and a sports store while consulting with clients in both Spanish and English.

But my real education came through living. I'm a 5-time Ironman 140.6 finisher. I've competed in countless triathlons and running competitions, worked with athletes on their training and nutrition, and have collaborated closely with a physiotherapist who attended to the Mexican Olympic team. My son was an elite swimmer for 13 years and now rows in college and I have guided him with his nutrition throughout his athletic career. I have a border collie who's as driven as any athlete I've ever met (hence the package pictures!).

But like so many, I have tried the miracle shakes and quick fix diets, thought I was eating correctly, and fell victim to the MLM weight loss programs…all to no avail. It all changed when I found this platform and found JOY with my body for a change! All of this experience taught me something books can't: the difference between knowing about health and actually understanding what it takes to transform it.

I've seen what happens when one person in a family decides to break the pattern. When they stop accepting that bad health is inevitable. When they learn their unique type and start moving with their body instead of against it.

That ripple effect, that moment when someone finally understands themselves—that's what drives everything I do.
