Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I’m a domestic violence survivor and I have Adenomyosis. I struggle my whole life with the illness and depression. When I was told I wasn’t going to be normal again after having 5 kids I decided to take things into my own hands a really research how to control my symptoms. I have learned so much and have been able to help other women through depression and over coming fear and grow confidence after dealing with horrible situations. My goal is to show every woman that they are valuable and loved.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

Strength Training is my style and sustainable Nutrition habits. I’m a Nutritionist and I learned to used food as a medicine and fuel to get the best out of my mental health and physical health. I’ve come a long way postpartum and finally being diagnosed with Adenomyosis that I have learned to feed my body properly according to its needs.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would add a New Program to my Gym that I own as a scholarship for underprivileged teens. I can use the money to fund a Program for youth Teens to train in strength training and confidence building. It can fund hikes, cooking classes with Nutrient dense foods and provide a salary for a coach to teach them self defense classes. I can even use some of the funds to make hygiene packages for foster homes. My goal is to show my kids that we are blessed, and when we grow in abundance we can give back
