Introduction: Loving all things health and wellness, along with my genuinely caring about helping others, I began my career as a massage therapist in 2007. My passion for fitness was ignited while training to compete as a figure competitor. I gained an understanding of what the body is capable of with a strong mind, consistent hard work and dedication. I personally experienced how fitness changed my life and led me to want to help others do the same. I believe fitness is more about total well-being and less about aesthetics. Balance, strength and endurance are what fortify our health and give us the power to meet life's adventures head on. A figure to be proud of is simply a lovely byproduct of fitness training.
