Walking together amidst the chaos of life (& wedding planning) one step at a time ❤️💍🥂

One can find beauty in nature no matter the season. This. Fuels. My. Soul. 🧘🏻‍♀️🌊

Such a great way to reset after a crazy month-going on an adventure with loved ones outside❤️🐶, and enjoying the lake air, meditative sounds & sights even in the 🥶 of winter here in Michigan.

✨Guess where you can find me after finishing my work-cozied up under a blanket with my 🐶 diving right in!

I’d love to know what’s on your on your reading list that I should check out next??

✅First lower body workout of the year in & done🏋🏻‍♀️. Plus foam rolling as I type this (much needed)😬.

How are you choosing to move today? Whatever you choose be sure to tag to get in on their New Years day challenge fundraiser🎉

As the last few hours of 2021 are upon us take a moment to pause, reflect and breathe.

May you E•X•H•A•L•E out all that hasn’t served you this year & I•N•H•A•L•E all that you want, need, & crave for 2022. I hope this new year brings you all you need and more for a vibrant, strong, & healthy life✨

Hey there….👋🏼 wanted to share a bit more about me on this Christmas Eve Eve 🎄

This is one of my fave pics from the Fall, hangin with my ❤️, my biggest supporter, and the one who makes certain that I LAUGH daily & often. Grateful for this guy😘.

I am the B•E•S•T time sucker there is or so I think😉-cue laundry and vacuuming as my go to distractor /avoidance technique -from anything including getting my to do’s for work projects completed, even finishing a chapter in a current book I’m reading or finishing a podcast I’m listening to.

A close 2nd would be anything Bella🐶 related. She’s my baby, my pal and my protector. 💕. Life is never dull with her around and my heart explodes with love for she and Tim.

Have I mentioned I love to do laundry😂. True story. Even the folding and putting away. Makes. Me. Happy.

Now with that said, my knowledge of time hacks and time savers plus productivity tips is incredible (I use them on myself😉). Dm me and I’ll share one of my faves that’s worked wonders for me!

Give me a comfy pair of joggers over a dress 👗most day’s (major exceptions include summer time☀️ & special events).

I lived a half a block from the Pacific Ocean 🌊for over 6 years while out on the West Coast. I miss the ocean & my LA friends daily, I don’t tell them this enough either. 💕

I officially got into health and wellness back in 2007 and haven’t looked back. It’s what wakes me up out of bed EVERY single morning. To date I’ve attended at least 21 different certification programs in various areas of coaching, nutrition, movement & regeneration; of course I’m already looking forward to the next. Always a student craving to learn more about what I can share with all to create a healthier community.

I do my best thinking on walks with our sweet Bella 🐶, in the shower or in the middle of the night when I’m wide awake. Need a waterproof note taker for the shower though to write down my ideas.🧐

Sleep 😴doesn’t always come easy for me….it’s another area I personally work on as sleep hygiene is SO important for overall wellness. Happy to share pop on a call if this is you as well.

With that I’m out of space, more to come soon, be well✨

I am truly blessed to be here in this space, thank you all for being a part of this community, one who cares about health for not only yourself but all!

Who am I?? 🤷🏻‍♀️Isn’t that what we often ask ourselves?!

This. Is. Me.

1. Movement is medicine for me, and why I share it with others.

2. Natures’ beauty no matter the season leaves me breathless. 🍁🌻🌲

3. The ocean waves 🌊soothe me like no other as does the light of the moon and stars. 🌙💫

4. I am a recovering perfectionist, if I am not in “control” - some days more than others can be a HUGE struggle.

5. I love to be alone and in quiet with my breath and even my thoughts, YET I crave meaningful social interaction. I dare say I am an introverted extrovert (& yes assessments have said as much too).🧘🏻‍♀️

6. I have 3 tattoo’s, one by far the most meaningful and a major reason I am so passionate about preventative wellness.

7. My nieces and nephew are the ✨of my life, AND I don’t tell them enough how special they are to me.

8. My heart explodes with so much love every morning I wake and cuddle with my 🐶 as well as every time I come home and she greets me &/ or my partner.

9. Both the kindness and the violence in the world bring me to my knees.

10. I love to read but don’t always make enough time to do so. You should see my stack of books to read and reread. 📚

11. Food is my fuel. Fav foods include 🥗🌮🍔🍣🫐🥑🥬🍝 & 🍪and no I don’t eat healthy ALL the time, I enjoy my meals and yet strive for balance.

12. I coach myself every. SINGLE. Day. And hired one for that reason and so many more (hello support, accountability, & education to name a few).🙌🏼

13. Laughter makes my day. My partner makes me laugh like no other, and that is ✨priceless✨ to me. Thanks babe. ❤️

Hope you enjoyed getting to know me a bit more, & thanks for being a part of this community. 🙏🏻

A little moment…..

But seriously isn’t this so true??

Think about it. 🧠

I am. I needed this today.

Let it sink in.

That’s all.

Be back tomorrow with a bit more about me. ✨

In the meantime my DM’s are always open for questions or better yet book a call (link in bio) and we can chat!💫

Hey there👋🏼….it’s been a bit since I shared some tidbits about me, I wanted to take my next few posts to do just that!

•First, a favorite quote of mine, one that you will find written in my office on a crinkled sticky note in plain sight for me to see (yes the original sticky note, that traveled with me from LA to MI about 4.5 years ago😉 -sentimental value from when I first wrote it down which means it’s AT LEAST 7-8 years old maybe more 😂).

•Anywhoo, when checking with the infamous google you will find a number of individuals attributed to saying a version of it. My fave version goes like so:

“Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.”

This speaks to my soul, now more than ever. This is my each day, now let’s be real it’s difficult & I am 110% a work in progress, some days are better than others, yet each day I show myself a bit a grace and try again. I’m on a journey and one I choose to take on until my last breath. Why? Life is itself can be difficult, beautiful, boring, it can downright suck, it can be freaking amazing and everything in between!✨Plus my story is not your story; instead of judge, criticize, assume, & get angry, I choose to BE KIND. 💕

•If my kindness makes someone else smile well, that’s a great freaking moment for all; I don’t see it as a weakness I see it as my strength. Side note: this wasn’t my original post for today, however every time I opened any type of social media today, the first post was always about kindness, I took the hint the universe was pushing me to be flexible and change my plan so I did😉plus I hope this gave you some insight into who I am. 💫

CONSISTENCY is KEY 🔑
YES, YES, or YES💯

•Consistently showing up and doing the work = results = ALL the positive changes we want to happen for the long haul BUT it takes time & grace right?! Wellness is a journey.

•I know, it can be super frustrating, especially if you feel like you don’t have the time or energy. (I’ve got you with these hesitations as well but let’s save that for another post, or better yet, DM me and we can set up a complimentary 30 min discovery call).

•Whether it’s your wellness, fitness, finances, relationships, work, you name it, the more consistent you are about showing up, being present, & putting in the work, the more you get done over time. Thus, you see, feel & reap the benefits. And that my friends is a beautiful feeling is it not!?
