My journey into the wellness industry started after I graduated from college with a degree in engineering. I was working a corporate job and I was also forty pounds heavier than I am now. One day I was invited by a co-worker to lift weights at the corporate fitness center. I began to lift weights consistently and take cardio fitness classes. One day, the instructor said she thought I would be good at teaching classes. So I got certified as Fitness Instructor. With a lot of hard work and discipline I lost forty five pounds. People saw my transformation and began to ask me to help them. It was then that I decided to get certified as a Personal Trainer. I realized I had found my passion and two years later I left my corporate job and began working as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. A short time later I realized that I needed more tools. I was great at creating fitness routines for clients, but many times the issue was deeper than learning exercises and eating well. I got certified as a Health Coach and was able to help my clients address issues around wellness that required behavioral change. Several years later I added the meditation certification. Meditation, mindfulness and breath work can help to alleviate the overwhelming stress that many of us experience. This set of tools has allowed me to take a well-balanced approach to helping hundreds of people on their wellness journeys.
