Receive Text UpdatesMy passion for health and fitness comes from a desire to age with strength, grace, and purpose. I believe in caring for my body through intentional movement, nourishing foods, and mindful habits that support longevity. Aging gracefully isn’t about resisting time, it’s about embracing each chapter with vitality, confidence, and self-love. By investing in my health today, I’m creating a future where I can move freely, feel empowered, and live life with energy and joy at every age.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favourite way to train and stay fit is through a balance of strength training, combat sports, and mindful movement. I love lifting weights to build strength and confidence, Muay Thai for discipline and mental resilience, and Pilates to stay mobile, aligned, and injury-free. Mixing intensity with intention keeps my body challenged, my mind sharp, and my training sustainable, so fitness becomes a lifestyle, not a chore.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use $20,000 intentionally to create growth and momentum. I’d invest in myself through education, health, and skill development, while strategically funding my business and personal brand to generate long-term income. A portion would go toward building an emergency buffer for peace of mind. Most importantly, I’d treat it as seed capital turning it into something sustainable that aligns with my purpose, supports my future, and allows me to create meaningful impact.
