This is preventable and affects all ages, cultures and regions. The World Health Organization is encouraging people to take 40 seconds of action. This can be 40 seconds to start a conversation, check in with someone you are worried about or help stop the stigma surrounding suicide. Please go to the World Health Organization for further details and information.

Hey there!

Eating, body awareness, my overall health and self esteem have always been a struggle for me, so I understand and have intimate knowledge about what you may be going through.

I started out as a wheezy asthmatic kid in and out of hospitals and often attached to oxygen. I was told “No” a lot for fear of triggering an asthma attack, so there was minimal exercise and limited exposure to potential allergens.

I never really thought about being “fat” or how my body looked until I had to take steroids and gained a lot of weight which I definitely did not grow out, as hoped by the doctors and my parents.

This started my journey towards self hatred and my poor relationship with food. After years of struggling I decided that I needed to educate myself on how our bodies work, how food affects our health and how to properly exercise.

I have been a Personal Trainer for over 15 years and a Holistic Nutritionist for over 5 years.

I know what it feels like to be lethargic, sick and have no idea why. It doesn’t have to be this way, I can help you learn how your diet is directly affecting your energy levels, your over all health and your moods.

You must be tired of feeling crappy all the time, I know there is a better way. Let’s figure this out together.
