My happiest days are when I’m active. Whether it is indoors or outdoors, fitness is my passion.

About Me

First and foremost, I am a mother of the most loving, compassionate, empathetic, and funniest person in my life – my daughter is my biggest supporter. She is what motivates me to be my Best Self; and in turn, I am driven to always look for ways to set a positive example in her life, so she continues to mature into a confident, resilient, and resourceful young woman.

I am also a 25+ year veteran of Corporate America. I enjoyed a great deal of success in this phase of my career, but I came to realize that true life fulfillment would come from prioritizing those things that were most important to me that I could also be passionate about. Life demands balance … it’s about finding that equilibrium that allows you to pursue your goals and provide for your loved ones, while also taking care of yourself.

My happiest days are when I feel healthy, valued, and can share this with others. Fitness and wellness are my passion. Activity gives me perspective and clears my head, while nutrition is the fuel for it all. When I am well and healthy, I am stronger, feel more accomplished, and know that I can tackle anything that comes my way.

 

It was in 2017 that I came to realize that I really wanted to make some changes … in fact, I needed to make some changes. Everything I am, and everything I strive to be, is for the benefit of my daughter … so that she learns the lessons early which I did not come to learn until well into adulthood – to love yourself, to advocate for yourself, and to never relegate yourself to the status quo.

 

I woke up, inspired to make a difference for myself, my young daughter, and those around me - and this calling could not go unanswered.

 

My mission is to share the concepts of wellness and self-care with all whose paths I cross. I love teaching those in my community the benefits of being active, and the need to tend to your own fitness and wellness needs, so you have more to give (to yourself and to others).

 

And this is what led me to where I am today.

I invite you to join us at Best Self Total Wellness, LLC.
