After a 20-year career in education, I made the leap into a new venture: health and fitness. As a lifelong athlete, my passion for helping out with their fitness goals began as a high school cheer coach. In my tenure as a coach, I helped to grow a program that educated athletes about proper nutrition, the importance of strength training and mobility, and fueling the body for performance. As many of my cheerleaders moved into adulthood, they reconnected with me, and I began “coaching” them again as they got ready for their weddings, wanted to get back in shape after having a baby, or found that they needed to change their lifestyles into healthier ones for their kids.
