When you don't diet, your cravings look different.
There’s so much noise when it comes to what we should eat, how to move, what it means to be ‘healthy’.
Most of it just blocks your body’s internal signals, its’ innate awareness of what makes you feel good and what doesn’t.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…
No one feels good eating pizza all the damn time.
But the diet industry makes you think that if you allow yourself to eat how you want, you’ll do is eat pizza all the damn time.
Nope.
Yes, there’s a process to undoing what diet culture has taught us for our entire lives.
And it might take a long curvy road to get there.
But getting to the other side means a healthier and more enjoyable life than letting the scale determine your next meal.

Growing up I was a half-hearted athlete who struggled with my relationship with both food and exercise. I smoked for over a decade and spent much of my youth either binging or not eating at all. But after breaking my leg in a car accident, months of physical rehab and years of psychological counseling lead me to a renewed appreciation for my health and my ability to just move-something I'll never take for granted again. I overcame a lot and have spent much of my life sharing what I've learned. I became a NASM personal trainer over 16 years ago. The type of clients I've trained and my own personal interests lead me to attain many other certifications. These include Sports Specific and Orthopedic exercise specializations, Pre and Post Natal exercise, MMA conditioning, and ACE Mind Body Specializations. I've taken 2 TRX qualifying courses in general and functional fitness. I am Kettlebell certified through both NETA and Kettlebell Kings, also completing an independent study facilitated by Steve Cotter, founder of the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation. I am also a certified Animal Flow Instructor. In the fall of 2021, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Facilitator, as IE was integral to my own ability to divest from diet culture. I think this was the missing piece to be able to put together a holistic, meaningful training program for all my clients.
