I am a retired certified athletic trainer, current NSCA Strength & Conditioning coach, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Holistic Nutrition and Health Coach, and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Practitioner. (yup, I love school!)
But, in 2015 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, and none of those certifications mattered... let me tell you- that kind of fatigue is something I would never wish on anyone. I was completely defeated, feeling isolated and stressed, wondering how on earth will I ever get out of this.
I was struggling to keep up with my kids, husband, or any kind of a social life any more. I wanted to get back to strength training, teaching high energy fitness, running around with my kids, and coaching them with confidence! But I just couldn't do it. It was devastating.
Because mainstream medicine was absolutely NO help, this personal challenge pushed me to dive deep into holistic health, Gut healing, trauma-informed healing, and hormone research. My breakthrough finally came when I discovered the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and I was hooked.
Functional lab testing helped me to implement targeted changes and I started seeing results at a cellular level. No more chasing symptoms. I was blown away, finally healing from the inside out.
Now, I used what I learned to blend holistic health coaching, functional health testing with the HTMA, and functional strength training to help you achieve peak energy and wellness. I’ve walked this path and I’m here to guide you, making your journey faster, simpler, and more effective.
