I help people attain better health, experience greater self love and discover unconditional happiness. I do this daily through my teachings. Everything I do has an underlying message that inspires movement, mindfulness and health promotion. For three decades, I've been influencing people to eat healthy, be happy and celebrate life.
In high school, I taught aerobics at my local health club. People stood in line for my fitness classes. Then at college, I studied nutrition and physical education. Once I graduated, I worked at a health resort in southern California. That's when it clicked; I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. To this day, I teach people how to make their food healthier, their minds happier and their bodies even more beautiful.
If I had to pick one thing, it would be movement. Physical exercise that exerts the muscles and elevates the heart rate is good for the body, mind and spirit. Movement is medicine.
Exercise is good. Exercise + good nutrition is better. Exercise + good nutrition + mindfulness is best of all. All together, they are life changing.
Journaling is a mindfulness practice. It allows you to empty your thoughts onto paper. After you’ve cleared your mind, write down something you are grateful for. Gratitude is the path to unconditional happiness.
It’s funny, every time I teach a workout I say that it was my favourite one. I use a variety of workouts because it's the best way to cross condition the body. All my workouts are based on three principles: 1. Function 2. Flow 3. Future. My workouts create a functional body that can flow gracefully through movement patterns. I consider the future of the body a top priority.
Eat light. Eat real food. Eat mostly plants.
LIFE! Life is so beautiful when it is lived well.
Meeting new people who are as excited as I am about healthy lifestyle practices.
I want guests to leave inspired to make one major change in their lifestyle that will have the most profound impact possible. If they make one change and master it as a habit, it will forever impact the rest of their life.
