My Story
I was born in raised in Georgia, but now live in Florida, fulfilling my lifelong dream of living at the beach. Growing up I was a swimmer. I was the captain of my high school swim team, and I coached my summer swim team for 4 years. That is where my love of being active started and where I first learned how to teach and coach others. I wasn’t the best swimmer, but I have always loved being in the water.
When I went to college, I did not have any idea what I wanted to do for a major, let alone career. I immediately started going to the gym a lot, and fell more in love with working out. I decided to major in exercise science, and continued to for another 3 years. College was the first place I tried yoga, which I was instantly drawn to. I would go to classes 3-4 times a week. I suffered from anxiety off and on and I found that yoga gave me a peace unlike anything else. This led me to becoming a certified yoga instructor in 2012. I have taught in many places since: gyms, studios, beaches, and senior centers. I absolutely love it.
After a few years in college, I lost my direction and ended up taking time off from school. During this time, I moved out to Colorado, which was a HUGE change in my life. I would recommend to anyone getting out of your comfort zone because you learn many things about yourself. While I loved living there, I did slowly begin to lose my passion for health and fitness during that time. I struggled to find balance between fun and health. I had a blast, but over time I started to gain weight.
When I moved to Florida in 2015, I was the heaviest I have ever been. I had never struggled with weight; not seriously at least. My clothes didn’t fit, I didn’t have much confidence, and I was pretty down on myself. This led me to Instagram, where I found inspiration from people who had the fitness lifestyle I wanted. I enrolled in a challenge led by a girl I followed, and that kick started me back into fitness. I found weightlifting for the first time, and that changed EVERYTHING. I learned about metabolism, strength training, and macro tracking; all which played a huge part in my weight loss. During this time I also finished school with a bachelor’s degree in psychology; an achievement I wasn’t always sure I could attain.
I want to help others to make the same changes I did. In 2018 I became a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I began training clients at my gym and absolutely love it. My vision is to help people not only better themselves physically but mentally and emotionally. I hope to inspire people to find what they really care about in their life and go for it.
