As a busy mom of 5, I got to the point where I was in my bedroom just trying to find something - anything to wear. But NONE of my clothes fit. I went through several piles of clothes and I just couldn't find anything to wear. I was so frustrated and so mad at myself that I had allowed myself to get to this point. There I was - in a pile of clothes and a puddle of tears ... and at that moment I made a decision to lose weight and be a better role model for my kids. That year I went on to lose 70 lbs!

This was just the beginning of my journey to help others improve their health. I had already learned so much about the gut, I knew I could help others with so many health concerns! From here, I knew I had to keep learning in order to help others get to the root cause of their health issues. I knew that every person I would help would have different pieces to the puzzle of their health or weight-loss struggles. So I went on to learn and become certified in motivational theories, strategies, and communication techniques, which are used to assist members to develop intrinsic motivation and obtain skills to create sustainable change for improved health and well-being.
