Committed to Evidence-Based Fitness Solutions
When I started in the health and fitness industry, I immediately noticed that the ‘‘one size fits all’’ approach was the norm. Even at the beginning of my career, I quickly realized that this made no sense. How could we treat someone in their twenties, at their metabolic prime, the same as someone in their forties navigating peri-menopause? How can we can expect someone who works full time and has a family to track every macro they eat and every step they take without feeling overwhelmed and giving up?
The desire to offer personalized and realistic solutions for my clients coupled with my thirst for knowledge has pushed me to do numerous certifications as well as mentorship programs. 15 years later, I still feel like a student, hungry to learn more!
