Health Coach

A simple framework for real, lasting change

My coaching is built around a simple structure designed to help you move forward with clarity and consistency.

The 2–2–2 Method

2 Pillars

Awareness + Action

Understanding where you are and taking intentional steps forward

2 States

Where you are → Where you want to be

Mapping the journey from current reality to desired outcome

2 Outcomes

Clarity + Consistency

Building a clear vision with sustainable practices that last

We don't rely on motivation alone. We focus on understanding where you are, defining where you want to go, and building a process that actually works in your real life.

Who I Help

I work with people who feel like they're in between versions of themselves.

You've set goals. You've tried before. You know what you should be doing, but something isn't clicking consistently.

Whether it's your health, habits, mindset, or direction in life, you're not starting from zero. You're just not where you want to be yet.

That's the gap we work on together.

My Approach

Structured, but human.

My coaching is built around a simple framework: understanding where you are, where you want to be, and how to bridge the gap in a way that actually lasts.

Using motivational interviewing and evidence-based behavior change principles, we focus on building awareness, working through resistance, and creating habits that align with your real life—not an idealized version of it.

There's no one-size-fits-all plan here. We meet you where you are, develop a clear path forward, and build consistency step by step.

I'm currently completing NBHWC training (board exam July 2026) and pursuing NASM Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach certifications.

My Story

I didn't grow up with a strong foundation in health or wellness.

I struggled with my weight and self-image for most of my life. At my heaviest, I was 267 pounds, prediabetic, hypertensive, and living a sedentary lifestyle.

What changed wasn't just the weight.

It was learning how to combine fitness, nutrition, and real education with a shift in mindset. I moved away from shame and toward awareness and discipline, without rigidity.

My Transformation Journey

Before

Before • 1 of 3

Today, I'm 135 pounds and in the best shape of my life.

I also grew up without financial stability. My first job paid $7.75/hour. Through education and intentional growth, I built a career earning well into six figures and created opportunities for myself and others.

This work is personal.

Because I understand what it feels like to be stuck, and what it takes to move forward.
