Coaching accidentally became my passion.

 

In 2021, I was walking on the beach when quite suddenly, I couldn’t put any, I mean ANY weight on my left leg because it caused me so much pain. I didn’t imagine I would stop walking for 4 months at the age of 48. I thought I had more time before my body started breaking down!

 

During the pandemic, I sat around crocheting, eating, and drinking my way to Type II Diabetes. For years, I out-exercised poor nutrition, but it finally caught up with me. After many doctor visits and tests, I also found out I had chronic inflammation, and very little cartilage in my left hip socket, along with arthritis. I was given the option of steroids and surgery. I asked my doctor if I could first try to lose some weight to see it that would help.

 

This was the wake-up call I needed. I became highly motivated to see if I could dial back diabetes and debilitating inflammation without medicine. Guess what? I did. My rehabilitation is ongoing. I am happy to be walking again, there was a point I wasn’t sure I was going to. Some days, although rarer and farther between, my hip still hurts.

 

Staying healthy is a JOURNEY and I won’t lie, it isn’t easy and takes consistent effort and accountability! This is the reason why I have surrounded myself with all things health!

 

My quest for health lead me to pursue multiple health certifications, and my thirst for knowledge is unending. I can’t even join book clubs because I am always reading about health. 

 

As a life-long learner, you can be guaranteed that I am staying current on new advances in the health and wellness field. I want to share my knowledge with you so you can be the most optimally healthy version of you!
