She has also worked as a medical assistant in a Family Practice for over 10 years and as a certified Fitness Instructor prior to that.

Even today, I don’t always choose the best option when it comes to taking care of myself, or my schedule, but practice makes it easier – not perfect… That why I do what I do. I’ve been there…I understand…

But knowledge is only part of the solution to change…Having someone believe in you to help you see the great things already within you, to help you tap into those resources already resident in your life…those are the keys to lasting transformation!
