+ How long have you been doing what you do and how did you become a Fat Loss Expert and Health and Fitness Coach?

To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting “compelling story”, - that brought me to where I am today – coaching people like you on exactly what to do to lose weight, feel more confident, and let go of the struggle around diets and health. That defining moment in my life happened in May of 2016.

I was living in a small town in North Carolina. I had moved there from D.C. after years of long distance dating with my boyfriend (now husband). The company I was working for let me work remotely, but unfortunately shortly after I moved, the company was bought out which left me jobless and searching for work in this tiny military town. There were no opportunities that really excited me, and I knew this was the perfect time to start my own business!

There was one thing I was truly passionate about, that got me up in the mornings and kept me up late at night – health and fitness – so I started a business centered around that. Health and fitness have always been important to me since middle school. My family has always gone to the gym together and I have always loved running with my dad and taking family walks - even to this day.

There was only one problem. As a middle schooler, I was an average student; I played sports and was active, but I never felt like I was that good at anything. The gym was a place where I could excel, be consistent and SEE change. Unfortunately, the gym is where I ended up finding a lot of my self-worth as a young girl.

Friends, family, and even strangers often complimented me on my physical looks and my fit physique. Many times people questioned why I worked out so often and why I was so focused on eating healthy. What they couldn’t see was how much I was struggling internally with my confidence and self-esteem. No matter how many hours I spent or how ragged I ran myself in the gym, nothing was ever good enough. When I looked into the mirror, I saw a young woman who could never get the results she wanted - this ideal physique I had in my head. I was stuck. I was also so frustrated and confused by all the information out there. I literally thought going to the gym every day and trying to eat perfectly healthy was the only thing I could do well, and the only thing I could do to get closer to my ideal. Sadly, I also thought how I looked was the only thing I brought to the table.

This continued through high school, college, and into my young adult years. To the outside world, it looked like I had everything. I was working in a corporate job making great money, I had an amazing support system - both friends and family, was dating an amazing guy, and I had a body most women be excited about. I finally got sick and tired of chasing this ideal that was truly unattainable as I realized no matter what I did, I never felt like it was enough. But mostly, I was exhausted from constantly looking for my self-worth in all the wrong places and tired of feeling confused.

I truly loved exercise and all the benefits it brought, but I also recognized that a portion of my habit was negative - and fueled by our culture and the diet industry. I wanted to dig in, fix myself and finally figure out the fitness industry, what actually works and learn everything I could. I vowed to myself if I ever figured it all out, I would share with every woman so they never had to feel like I did – stuck, confused and lacking confidence! I became a certified trainer and learned EXACTLY how to train to get results without being in the gym every day and running myself ragged. Most importantly, I made huge internal shifts. By examining and reprogramming my disordered thinking (I was only good if I worked out every day), I changed my mindset. My self worth is no longer measured by how I look but the impact I can make in others’ lives.

After becoming certified, I launched Core Fit and started teaching women how they could do the same: get fit and lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way, learn proper nutrition, shift their mindset, skyrocket their confidence, and feel incredible about their bodies! Women who are confused, hate the gym are overweight and feel awful about themselves finally break through their internal struggles with me, lose the weight (once and for all) and for the first time in their lives are proud of who they are and what they are able to accomplish! Similarly, women who lack self esteem, work out constantly but never feel happy work with me to shift their mindset and learn effective strategies to get the results they want in half the time. I vowed to share my methods with every woman who needed the help and I made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other women who have lost their sense of self or hate looking in the mirror get unstuck so they can shift their mindset about exercise and nutrition to get amazing results and truly love their bodies.

Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients, group fitness classes, virtual bootcamps and have spoken in front of countless groups. I lived my dream of opening up my own business and earning an income providing fitness and health coaching from anywhere in the world as a military spouse. And now, years later, being a mom to a girl, I am so thankful I made this shift because I never want my daughter to see me obsess over my weight or what I eat, or worse, think her self worth is dependent on how she looks. I have created 90 Day Melt Away, a series of seven steps built into a signature system every woman needs to apply to lose weight, gain confidence and love their body!

+ Who are your clients?

I work with people just like you who are so overwhelmed with all the information out there, unhappy with how they look and feel stuck and unsure of what to do to actually get results! Women who have stopped making themselves a priority and over the years, have gained weight and hate looking in the mirror every time they get in the shower! Women who struggle with will power and consistency and who feel like they have tried everything but are convinced nothing will work for them and are tired of trying to do it on their own!

• The Yo-Yo Dieter
• Women who train hard with no results to show for it
• Women who have tried everything but nothing seems to work long term
• Women who never want to diet again
• Women lacking direction, feeling overwhelmed and who need support
• Women ready for a lifestyle change and confidence

+ What makes you different from other “health coaches”?

I have been in your shoes, felt the way you have and will help you lose weight, love your body and gain confidence. I have studied, taken courses, worked with coaches and have tested every method so I know what works. You have me as a personal health and fitness and confidence expert and consultant. I will hold you accountable and accountability is key. Without accountability you could have the best plan, but if the plan is not executed, you will not get results! I work on the inner and outer principles for success and look at you as a whole and from an organic perspective. What that means to you is that you get a compassionate but no excuses, authentic health and fitness coach. You’ll always get a straight to the point quick and honest response from me.

I’m concerned with how to get you the body you have always wanted and your mindset shifted so you can start feeling confident in your body, feeling happy with yourself and get real results so you can stop wasting your time! You may not like what I have to tell you – but you can be sure I will always tell you the truth. The truth about what’s standing in the way of your success and how to get rid of it FAST so you can start getting results in record time without just eating chicken and broccoli, living in the gym or giving up every single cupcake!

+ What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?

The 90 Day Melt Away system was created for people who are absolutely excited and dead serious about losing weight once and for all, getting their confidence back and feeling good – it means no more yo - yo dieting, not fitting into clothes, mind games over food and not running around all day long, beating yourself up anymore saying: “Ugh, seriously! I hate my body. So gross!” They were created for you to put systems in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!), which will eventually lead you to a body you love and more confidence!

Being a woman who has struggled with their body and confidence myself, I’m known to work best with other women who are committed to their success no matter what and who are READY to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take to feel and look amazing! My clients often tell me – “just tell me what to do and I’ll do it!” Consider what you’ll do with me to be a high-octane crash course on everything you need to know to lose weight and feel great. You will be expected to take serious and consistent action. No excuses anymore, just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: losing weight, feeling great loving your body and taking your life back!

+ For what type of women are your programs NOT going to work?

Please know I’m very selective in who I work with and I cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for. It would not be fair to clients if I took them on knowingly that they were not going to succeed. The 90 Day Melt Away program is NOT for those who are not ready to invest in themselves and make true change. If you fall within this category, it’s absolutely OK. We’ve all felt stuck at one point or another. Do yourself (2) favors:

1. Get clear on what you are unhappy about in regards to your health, fitness and confidence and what it will cost you not to fix it.
2. Make a point to read the daily tips in my Facebook group! These recipes, workouts and motivation will give you LOTS to think about.

Doing these two things will really help you get primed for our work. When you’re ready, call me and we’ll get you started. (I’m in no rush and will be here when you need me.) This program also may not be for you if you are a whiner or consistently will make excuses for not getting their assignments done or doing the work. I WANT you to see RESULTS, and I will hold your hand every step of the way but you have to show up! If you are not ready to show up then this program will not work for you! I absolutely do not want you to waste your time or money!

Yes, I encourage you to! Please go to Core Fit’s Facebook page and read all of the reviews!

Then feel free to message them and ask what they got from working with me and my programs.

+ How quickly can I expect results?

That depends on how quickly you can make those inner shifts and show up! Some clients are ready to go and feel amazing in a few weeks while others have a bit more work to do first. It also depends on your starting point, your goals, how much time you make for the program, how focused you are.
