To answer this question, it’s probably best I share with you a defining moment that brought me to where I am today.
Growing up, I was fortunate to have parents and siblings that modeled good health and fitness practices. I too, loved everything about being healthy and fit, so at a young age, it was natural for me to become a personal health fitness trainer. However, what I call “my defining moment” came at a most unexpected time. My brother was diagnosed with an advanced stage of breast cancer, and within 9 months he was gone from us. During that sad time, I had my own fitness business which gave me the freedom to be with my brother before he passed. These were precious moments. His illness and death shook me to the core because we were very close for many reasons, one being, we were only eleven months apart. Vinnie was thirty-two when he died, I was just thirty-three.

As you can imagine this was also overwhelming to the whole family, particularly my parents. Thankfully the faith foundation they laid while growing up helped us all get through this devastating loss. During this time and after Vinnie’s death, I began to garden. It was a new past time, because after seeing clients all day, I could be alone, in solitude, working my way through the grieving process. It helped me to mourn him and yet at the same time, it helped me to heal in a very special and nourishing way. I would just go to my yard and immerse myself in the earth and soil. It was in these hours that the greatest gift was given to me. The defining moment so to speak. Because of the loss, and then the hard work of healing, there came a beautiful bloom every single season thereafter, a wonderful reminder there will always be a light which will give me great strength and joy. Thereafter, meditation and mindfulness strategies became my daily therapy. In this quiet reflection time, I found the strength to respond to my brother’s death and other unexpected life challenges and tragedies in a way that tapped into my spiritual wellbeing. Yoga and journaling became the rituals I practice to this day.

I believe that because of my life experiences, I was drawn to learn and achieve a higher level of understanding of my work so that I could support and coach women who also wanted control of their personal well-being. We all know it is easier to accomplish something if you have a support system. Personal and group coaching is that support system, however, it is in the deep connection with my clients where I have been privileged to watch women cultivate self-love, self-compassion and inner peace. In doing so they can move forward to live healthy, vibrant lives. So out of my losses and challenges in life, came personal growth and now my commitment to women through my Renew Your Health business and Get your Health Back Now Transformational Coaching Program.
