I'm a mom of two. Ages 7 and 4. And for years, I did what most women do — I ran, I underate, I did the workouts that magazines and Instagram told me would work. My hair was falling out. I was exhausted. I tore my meniscus getting up off the floor holding a baby, and it took months to even get it diagnosed because my doctor didn't think that was possible.
I thought that was just what getting older felt like.
Then I started lifting. Really lifting. And everything changed. Within six months my joints felt stable. I had energy. I was eating more than I ever had and looking better than I ever had. I could jump on the trampoline with my kids — and if you're a mom, you know how rare that is.
What took me years of trial and error to figure out is what I now teach my clients from day one: eat enough, lift heavy, and build a body that gives back more than it takes. I got my NASM certification because I wanted to do this right. My background as a postpartum nurse means I understand what women's bodies go through — but honestly, it was my own experience that taught me the most.
I'm not here to sell you a quick fix. I'm here because I know what it feels like to be stuck, and I know the way out.
