Who Am I?
I want you to live your best life and become the best version of yourself. This is why I am a nutrition coach and personal trainer. I’ve owned and operated my own healthy catering company The Healthy Dish Company and my own women’s focused gym. I believe a workout can turn around a day and that food is healing. I eat a mostly fresh foods vegetarian diet because of all the craziness that goes into foods now-a-days. I have a passion for creating healthy nutritious recipes that are never boring or bland. I read fitness and cookbooks like novels and have watched more hours of Food Network and Julia Child than I’d like to admit.
I am on my own journey to be happy and healthy! As a child I was always overweight. I remember being in preschool and being told to finish all my food. By kindergarten, I was trained to EAT ALL THE FOOD; and I did. I have done all sorts of diets and weight loss challenges and was always successful in the beginning. After, I just gain the weight right back. While dieting I developed a nasty habit of binge eating. I would eat nonstop, past discomfort after days of restrictive eating. This unfortunately followed me into non-dieting times. I’ve been able to tame my hunger beast that has led my to binge eating and break the dieting mentality through proper nutrition and want to share everything I’ve learned with those on a similar struggle.
I focus on eating healthy, clean, and wholesome foods with no chemicals, additives, or artificial ingredients. This means I stay away from fast foods, boxed foods which are usually heavily processed, and I focus on fresh. I believe that nutrition is the core of health and feeling good. I truly believe that most people if given the chance and the knowledge want to eat healthy but just don’t know how to go about doing that. That’s one of the reasons I became a nutrition coach and fitness chef.
After college, I became an accountant but I just didn’t have the passion for it like I do fitness and nutrition. I love helping people realize their potential and showing them that eating healthy doesn’t have to be restrictive or bland. I’ve taught group exercise classes from Zumba to boot camp, cycling, and athletic conditioning. If you’re looking to contact me please head over to the Contact page.
