Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I want to be the best version of myself through all parts of myself. Which means honing in on myself mentally, physically and emotionally. As I grow in one area, I must also grow in the other, creating a safe container for health and wellness to take home within. My goal is to lead women to their truth, whatever that may be. As a woman we wear many masks, finding our true identity is important. Staying fit has been the catalyst of me reclaiming myself, and maintaining balance throughout life.

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

I have many ways to stay fit, not just physical either. My emotional health has piggy backed upon my physical health. Meditation and Yoga have been at the forefront of my H&W journey, this paired with extensive weight training are what keep me most fit. But my most favorite way to train is dance- where I can express the most authentic version of myself. This is where rigidity falls away and I can go within and listen to what my being craves.

What would you do with $20,000?

My goals for this financial gift would be to expand my business and the ability I have to help others heal from the inside out. I would do this by furthering my education with integrative Health Coaching and a trip to India for an extension of my yoga teacher certifications. Lastly, I would hope to create a container that allows for the upcoming generations a taste of mindfulness through their educational system, through afterschool programs, physical education as well as specialty curriculum.
