I'm an independent OPTAVIA Coach. Here is my story:

Like many of you, life threw some mean curve balls pretty early on in life, and as an adolescent I felt comforted with food. It wasn't till my twenties that I gained enough strength to fight that this lifelong battle. Through learning the Habits of Health, I grew in knowledge in nutrition and became an exercise enthusiast. I was amazed at how fueling my body properly and exercising made me feel, both inside and out. My energy levels increased, my rest was sweeter and I had a new lease on life. With my new eyes opened, I begin to notice the lives of others around me. I began to see the pain behind the smile of those fighting the same overweight or obese battle. My heart was burdened by those suffering from food addiction and insecurity, and I was propelled to share my story. I knew that if I could change, then change was available to everyone. I wanted so desperately to pay forward the gift that I had received. So, when the amazing opportunity to Health Coach for Take Shape for Life came along, I jumped in with two feet. Take Shape for Life provided the catalyst to reach those who were struggling, and not only does Take Shape for Life provide a very successful method for weight loss, but it also empowers our clients to keep the weight off through learning the Habits of Health. This is about a journey and not a quick fix, but I am extremely confident that if you take that leap of faith, coupled with some true grit and perseverance, you will not only reach your goal weight but change your life!
