Low self esteem and low self image have been a character throughout my life's story. Even though I was an honor student and an all star athlete, I never felt "good enough", and suffered from body dysmorphia. It wasn't until I was in my early thirties that I had an experience that would alter my mindset about self worth. I was living in Myrtle Beach S.C. and training at Pepper Geddings Recreation Facility when I had a life altering conversation. I was training alongside a guy who weighed about 185 pounds with large, smooth muscle and had what I considered the "ideal body". For whatever reason I had the courage to comment on his "perfect" physique. He looks at me and says, I've always wished I was as lean, muscular and vascular like you. I was SHOCKED! Why would anyone want this body that I had spent my lifetime hating? It was a game changer. Now, do I still struggle with body issues from time to time? Yes!!! However, I am far more grateful for the body I was given, do my best to treat it well, and train with a mindset rooted in longevity.
Over the last 14 years of working with all ages and walks of life I've learned that people are best served by an empathetic trainer. The ability to pivot and meet clients wherever they are on their fitness journey is crucial for their success. Motivation, accountability, empowerment and education are pillars in my coaching philosophy. Whether you are an experienced athlete or a new comer to fitness, I would be honored if you'd allow me to be a part of your journey. We are the Home to Your Possibilities!
