During college, the stress and overwhelm of working five jobs, earning two degrees, while raising a puppy and being in an unhappy relationship lead me to the maladaptive coping mechanisms of binge drinking and disordered eating. I lived in fear of losing my jobs as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at the campus Rec Center because I was supposed to be a role model but the body I had wasn't acquired through healthful habits. Too scared to ask for help and exacerbated by the fact that my boyfriend at the time didn't notice my drastic weight loss I fell further into a dark place. Finally I had to metaphorically and literally pick myself up off of the floor. I cut ties with my unhealthy environment and moved to Colorado to get my Master's in the Social Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. 

I freaking LOVED learning about motivation, visualization, health change structure, and how our environment impacts our decisions so much. The conversations I got to have with all of my personal training clients were far more in depth than just basic fitness goals and helping them work on other areas of their lives lit me up. 

Social interactions dwindled in early 2020 and I was only allowing myself to see two people. In May, the relationship I was in ended and my running partner got sick, taking him out of running for over a year. All alone I was left to go inward and finally dive deep into the sadness that had been lingering for years. There were parts of me I didn't like and I had been avoiding them by drinking. Society had taught me how to lead through being in my masculine and I had lost touch with my creative feminine side. I found home through meditation, journaling, tapping, and movement. I learned how to lean back into my feminine and be in a whole new way that hadn't been modeled to me growing up. I started loving myself and seeing my worth. I faced the underlying cause of the pattern of dating emotionally unavailable men, setting myself up for success in the future. 

I'm excited to teach you everything I've learned along the way to help you move through your ish faster than I did (and not do it alone).
