I am a wife and Mom of four children.

I am also a busy  Social Worker and college

professor. Living a healthy lifestyle has always

been important to me, but it has not always been

easy.

I was diagnosed with cancer just over 6 years ago.

I was shocked. I had always felt healthy. I felt

betrayed by my body. I felt sick all the time after

surgery and it was difficult to eat. To help me cope,

I started running. I found peace on the road and I 

felt like I was in control. I ran every day for over a

year. Running helped me in many ways, but I lost too

much weight and felt tired and out of balance.

Then, more changes came to our lives, and I went back to work

full time. It was so difficult to balance home, work, kids and my personal

needs. I stopped taking care of myself and put work family first. I wound

up feeling out of shape and totally stressed out!

It was around this time, that a friend of mine introduced me to Beachbody.  I started doing some fitness programs from home and recognized improved balance and a more centered approach to health. I still run, but vary my workouts adding PiYo and Turbo Jam, 21 day fix, extreme, 22 minute Hardcorps as well as some weight resistance.  Beachbody programs have given me more variety and has kept fitness enjoyable and interesting.  This has become a much more well rounded approach to managing my physical health and my life! 

Because of the incredible experience I had, I wanted to pay it forward to others who were struggling to integrate a healthy lifestyle at home.  I became a Beachbody coach so that I could work with others and help them achieve their health and fitness goals by providing them with access to proper nutrition, exercise and the guidance of a professional coach! This job is so inspiring and I am truly grateful for the opportunity.  

TeamBeachbody has not only helped me change physically, but through the support of my team, I have improved myself inside and out! I have a whole community that supports my health journey as well as my journey toward creating a life that I do not need a vacation from!
