It all began with a vision..
“Working as a nurse, I struggled with always being on the side of reactivity. I have spoken with many patients throughout my career that either had only been informed of the basics to maintain their health & disease, or had many obstacles in their personal life that they just weren’t sure how to manage and balance it all. Many years of the ‘begin healthy habits, fall off track, give up and restart’ cycle had led them into a confused, disappointed and defeated state. I knew there had to be something more that I could do to help people be proactive in their health and wellbeing. I desired to put myself in the service of others by working to increase their personal awareness, shift their mindset with healthy thoughts and provide them with tools to live in a more coherent psychophysiological state.”

This is where Vitality Fit became a reality
My Journey
Since the 5th grade I have been active in many forms, including things like cheer, dance, hiking and resistance training. It was during my early to mid 20s that I decided to become a nurse. I have always been fascinated by the human body. We have been so beautifully crafted, so complex and just down right amazing! I wanted to work in the service of others, helping them heal or recover and helping them to live longer, healthier lives. It wasn’t until my 30s that I had a revelation. I could actually make a difference with my knowledge and training and not feel like I was only helping people recover from illness. I could help them on the side of prevention.. but how?
Having a daughter and looking at the bigger picture, I dug deeper into what I would utilize to guide her in healthy ways and that led me directly into this coaching space. I had so many thoughts… What could I do to keep people from hitting the healthcare system so hard and fast to heal? How could I empower them to rely on themselves for longevity and vitality? How could I show up for people in a space that allowed them to express themselves fully, guide them to sustain healthier habits with a multitude of tools and resources and help them grow as individuals? How could I help them to show up for themselves and their loved ones in a more loving and coherent way?
