Welcome to Balance Your Wellness
About Me
As a certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach, I believe that true health and wellness come from a balanced lifestyle, not just a strict diet and exercise regimen. With my background, I offer my clients a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and preventative health diseases. In addition, I am an NCSF-certified Personal Trainer, Level 1 Crossfit coach, and certified in 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training. I am also certified in Chair and Restorative Yoga, allowing me to guide clients in finding their mind-body connection through gentle exercise. I aim to empower individuals to prioritize their wellness and reach their full potential.
I've always had a fascination with the human body and a passion for helping others, which led me on my personal journey toward a healthier lifestyle. I changed majors, received a BS in Food Science and Human Nutrition, and fell in love with community nutrition.
In 2015, I began my career as a nutrition educator at Aroostook County Action Program, primarily teaching group nutrition on eating and cooking healthy on a budget. I've provided evidence-based nutrition and counseled pregnant and lactating women, infants, and children. Shortly after, I continued my education with a Master's in Public Health.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I noticed an increasing need for improving mental health in the community. This led me to complete my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Ayurveda Center Online and a Chair and Restorative Yoga certification. I later became a licensed Personal Trainer through NCSF.
I have found my purpose and passion for helping others through nutrition, fitness, and yoga. I am excited to keep helping as many people as possible by "living the life I never knew existed" mentality.
I live with my husband, daughter, two dogs, and one cat; I understand the importance of balancing a busy lifestyle with self-care. Becoming a mom has increased my desire to share my wellness journey, knowledge, and experience with others. Let me help you find the right balance to overcome the obstacles preventing you from achieving your wellness goals.
