My interest in nutrition and physical fitness began several years ago when I was working in the home healthcare industry with individuals who suffered from nutrition-related diseases. I saw many young patients who suffered from diseases like type-2 diabetes related to obesity, and my interest in physical activity, diet, and nutrition became a top priority.

I am currently certified as a personal fitness trainer and master trainer. I have achieved advanced specialist certification in sports nutrition, and weight & endurance training by one of the most respected and recognized programs in the world. NFPT (National Federation of Professional Trainers) is 1 of only 9 programs that are NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies) accredited, and NFPT is now recognized by ACE (American Council of Education).  I have also received certification in Core Conditioning, and I am a certified Nutritional Consultant, by the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, and am a member of the International Association of Fitness Professionals (IDEA).

What sets me apart from other trainers is my willingness to travel to client’s homes for convenience, the fact that I am also a certified nutritional consultant, and that I have a strong commitment to client education.  I believe that education is the key to successful, lifelong physical changes. I have developed nutrition plans, menus and weight loss workshops for non-profit summer youth camp programs, and have led a sports nutrition workshop for a non-profit women’s outreach program (www.Washington Outdoor Women.org).

I was an overweight child and know what a struggle it is to maintain a healthy weight.  I strongly believe that anyone can change the way they eat if they are introduced to better quality foods that still look and taste good and fun activities that will help you keep fit and feeling good.
