approaching fitness and health with balance and sustainability
About
I am glad you are here checking out my website!
I am a certified health coach, a college professor in health and physical education, and have endorsements in dance, health, and psychology (GO Broncos!) as well as my Master's in Education (GO Lakers!) I am CPR certified and also a professional member of SHAPE. I have an additional certification in Online Fitness Coaching.
My fitness journey began years ago as a child when I was a dancer. After graduating from WMU, I moved to Seattle. College and adulthood freedom caught up with me and I gained about 25 pounds from not being consistent with my nutrition. I was always active, but not enough to offset the pounds of pasta and bagels I consumed!
I joined a gym and lost the weight by being consistent and tracking my calories. When I moved back to MI, married and had my first child, I wanted to lose some of the baby weight and started running. I lost a lot of weight and did not eat enough. I dieted too long and did too much cardio and my metabolism adapted to that.
Long story short, the next 15 years were filled with lots of cardio-based classes and dietary restriction. I took pride in being thin, but I reached my limit, and in 2017, I decided to just change! I gave up the endless cardio and started weight training. Now I am eating so much more and training, not exercising! I am in the gym to build, not burn! Being strong, not the smallest person in the room, is my goal now!
Then, in 2020, I decided to do my first bikini competition and I am in love with the world of bodybuilding. I am an NPC nationally qualified bikini competitor.
I want to share my experience and knowledge with you!
I live in Grand Haven, MI with my husband, Jarrid, and one our our three kids. Lulu. Our oldest daughter Chase, lives in Grand Rapids and our son, Jude, lives in Allendale. We also have two cats, Purrito and Shylo.
I am dedicated to helping clients reach their full health potential and help them create goals that they can reach and stick with.
I do not utilize quick fixes or crash diets or gimmicky workouts, this is a marathon, not a sprint!

F.A.Q
Why do I need a health coach?
A health coach utilizes behavior change so the fitness and health goals are successfully attained but more importantly, sustained!
A health coach provides guidelines, education, and accountability to help clients reach their full health potential.
Do you offer meal plans?
That being said, I can help you plan out meals using your macros!
Do you offer a discount for family clients or referrals?
Referrals that lead to a new client signing up for any length of program will earn you 10% off your next package purchase. Subsequent referrals will lead to an additional 10% off future packages. Discounts cannot be combined; 10% is the max that will be honored for package purchase. Family discount is 10% per household.
I want to lose weight and gain muscle. Can I do this at the same time?
An untrained individual (or newbie to the gym).
Someone that has not been following a structured program.
Someone returning to weight training after a prolonged hiatus.
I will help you reach your goals whatever they may be!
Can I do just training or just nutrition program with you?
Just working out or just changing your nutrition habits may not get you the best results possible! If you are anxious about changing your eating habits or don't think that training is necessary (or worried that lifting weights will make you "bulky"--it won't!) I will work with you to make sure we get you on a plan that is attainable and realistic.
I will work with you one on one, be that accountability you need, and cater things just to your goals!
If you already have a trainer or you are following a nutrition plan that works for you, I can customize a plan for you that is either nutrition only or training only!
How do I know if a health coach is right for my goals?
What are the payment policies and options?
Payments are due in full via Venmo or PayPal before program delivery. Once we do our consult call, and we agree to work with each other, I will get you your plans within 3 days (perhaps sooner if you are already logging your food). Payment is due before this time and Day 1 of your program commences on the day your plans are sent.
No refunds are given but you can freeze your plan 1x per year if situations arise.
I have never tracked my food or macros and it seems overwhelming!
You cannot manipulate what you cannot measure!
Tracking macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats) is more than just tracking calories, because you are able to see what is in your foods and you will learn how certain things (protein and fiber for example) can help you reach your goals!
My clients ask me questions all the time about food recommendations, and I give you guidelines on how to plan balanced meals and order at restaurants, etc.
Tracking is not intended to do for the rest of your life--you will learn portion sizes and what works best for you body and after time you won't have to track!
