Fitness And Counseling Professional
Stay Healthy For Life
Fitness became my passion more then 30years ago now. It all started with an amazing gym teacher I had in school. I had to take this weight lifting P.E. class. I was scared to death because you had to run two days a week and weight train the other three. I hated running with a passion, and I knew nothing about weight training! I had all of these football players and other athletes in my class. I was not an athlete at the beginning of that P.E. class, but thanks to my teacher, by the end of that class, I loved weight training and running, and I got pretty good at both! That was the start of my new and improved life! Yes, I became an athlete too! My teacher taught me how to be a good runner and how to weight lift, and more importantly, he believed in me so I believed in myself. That was my start to Fitness, and I have loved it ever since!I have exercised regularly for more then 20 years. I have trained for 5ks, I have trained for body building competitions, I have created exercise programs for social service agencies, I have done personal training with all different ages including senior citizens, and I have helped people build their self esteem through diet, exercise, and counseling. I placed second in four body building competitions. I do a 5k every year. I am a cycling instructor, a personal trainer, a sports counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am currently working on more Fitness certifications.For more then 5 years, I have had a Wellness business. I work with all different ages. I combine Mental Health Counseling and Fitness. I help clients work through every day struggles, relationship problems, self esteem issues, depression, weight issues, etc. I will design an exercise program combined with a mental health program to fit each client's needs. If a client is just needs a Fitness program, I will do that. If a client just needs a mental health program, I will do that too. I help people become healthy inside and out.
