Students will learn to journal mindfully about food, feelings and fitness, as well as self reflect to discover realistic and positive behavior changes that lead to increased levels of health and wellness. 

I teach classes that center around the important aspects of "Whole Wellness". I have over 20 years in the health and wellness field, Masters Degree in Exercise Science & Health Promotion, Bachelors in Cellular Biology and multiple certifications/specializations through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, to include: Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, Weight Loss Specialist, Sports Nutrition Specialist, and Behavior Change Specialist. I also hold certifications through Yogafit and National Association of Speed and Explosion. I teach wellness classes to children locally, as well as specialize in one on one wellness coaching of children and adults all over the World! As a kidney transplant recipient, and Polycystic Kidney Disease Warrior, I have adopted an approach to wellness that is truly a life long learning approach. I believe it is vital to approach Wellness in a realistic step by step manner, as opposed to the "all or nothing" behavior that is seen all too often.

Additional fun tidbits: Some of my favorite activities are stand up paddle boarding, yoga and snowboarding! I absolutely LOVE the water, but lived in the Mojave Desert for over 5 years!
