My passion as a life coach stems from persevering life‘s challenges. My journey began as a child who was first generation and often stuck between a rock and a hard place between family and the culture around me. I was always my own person and an independent thinker but going about life, making my own decisions was often a difficult choice as it was not the common and expected avenue per my family.

Along with these basic life challenges, I was about to embark on health issues that began at puberty. I was not diagnosed until my 20's with PCOS (polycistic ovarian syndrome). This is a hormone problem that results in a more complex metabolic problem. It causes you to gain weight and it is challenging to get pregnant. However, due to my science and health education in college, I knew the dietary and physical changes I needed to make. It was not easy and took fine tuning work over the years, I did get pregnant twice with no difficulties. After my second child, I was then diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Hashimotos, both of which affect your metabolism and in this case, gain weight as well. I remained steadfast with my mission to remain healthy while keeping my ideal weight. I continued to be successful with my mission until I almost died from a traumatic brain injury but survived and fully recovered! This derailed my hormones and physical abilities but I prevailed with my body looking, feeling and working great for me today! These are just some of the highlights from my reel so to speak.
