Tell a little about yourself
I’m a 34-year-old single mom and registered nurse. I’ve just started my own health and wellness company and am an advocate for prevention
When did you become a “Gym Junkie”?
For a while I was unhappy with my weight and my health. I decided to do something about both so my fitness journey started about six years ago. What began as a way for me to lose weight and get off of the medications I have to take soon became an addiction. I then developed a passion for the science behind nutrition and weight training. I am now a lifetime lover of the fitness life and an advocate for health and wellness.
What is your favorite training style/workout routine?
I have tried every form of working out from spin classes and Zumba to weight training. I fell in love with CrossFit and Tabata. CrossFit has helped to improve my stamina and allowed me to begin losing weight at a steady pace. Plus, it’s FUN and the adrenaline rush is insane!!!!!!!!
What nutrition plan has worked best for you?
This is a hard one! I have tried everything with my health conditions but so for being vegetarian with some keto elements has worked the best for me. I have not cut out meat completely but cutting back on meat and increasing healthy fats has definitely helped me become healthier and improve my energy levels.
What is your ultimate goal?
Personally, my fitness goal is simple. I want to be 180 lbs. strong, fit, and healthy. I also want to cease using the blood pressure medication I have been on for a portion of my adult life. Ultimately, I would like to use my degree and experience in Nursing, as well as my certifications in personal training and holistic medical approaches to health and wellness to help any and every one become the best version of themselves. I want everyone to develop good habits towards fitness and nutrition and live long healthy lives. To that end I have started a wellness company call Phoenix Holistic Wellness to work towards this goal.
Talk about Phoenix Wellness…
Phoenix is my baby! I’m a Scorpio and one of the symbols of the Scorpio is the Phoenix. A Phoenix is a mystical creature that dies and rises reformed from its ashes. I chose that name because my business is centered around holistic lifestyle changes. You get to change who you are inside and out! Through personal training, nutrition services, support groups, and holistic wellness nurse coaching my goal is to help my clients live healthier more fulfilling lives.
