My Introduction

I am totally psyched to be starting this blog! First off, welcome to you! If you are here, you are likely a friend or a client and your probably know I am a Mental Health Counselor as well as a Team BeachBody Coach on my way to a Personal Trainer certification. You likely also already know I am a mom of 3 kids, I raise Salukis, and have been extremely blessed to be married to an amazing man with whom I share my life. What you might not know is that I come to this stage in my life because I've struggled with an eating disorder since I was very young, and that it got worse and not better in my 20s when I was a model. However, I am the sort of person who makes lemonade out of lemons, and so - at the age of 39, I am pulling back to my roots of hyperactive passion to help myself and others succeed in the things we want. What I want is to reclaim an even healthier body than I've ever had, to continue to help myself and others conquer our addictions to unhealthy behaviors and thoughts, and to teach what I learn. So, welcome to my blog and to a bit of my life ~ helping others keeps ME accountable, as well, so your support helps me complete the circle of giving.

Here you will find my knowledge and support towards holistic healing and lifelong mind/body health, including how to break addictive patterns, to eat and exercise right, and to understand that YOUR BODY is an Organic Machine. How you care for it and train it to do is what you will get out of it! See, the thinking part of your brain is like a guide - in my practice, I call that inner voice the "Inner Sherpa" - just like a Himalayan guide, it can take you where you need to go if you listen to it and let it experience the world in the right way so it knows where to go. It's when we ignore the Sherpa that we get into trouble. You know exactly what I'm talking about! So, take control and let that Inner Sherpa do his job.

And, with that said, let's start this journey. Right?!!? Kick it to awesome and BE the awesome!
