My passion for health and fitness began when I experienced my first Ulcerative Colitis flare-up after 20 years of remission. UC is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the digestive tract and colon. That moment was a wake-up call — I realized I needed to change my diet and start exercising if I didn’t want this disease to dictate the quality of my life at just 24 years old.

Two years later, the sense of empowerment and fascination with the body’s ability to transform led me to step onto my first bodybuilding stage.

I dedicated the next four years to the intense world of bodybuilding competitions, ultimately earning a spot among the top 15 bikini pro competitors in the world at the 2016 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas.

During those years, I discovered the incredible capabilities of the human body through discipline, nutrition, and training — but I also learned the consequences of pushing too far. I came to understand how resilient yet delicate our systems truly are.

In 2018, after being diagnosed with Endometriosis, I found a new balance — one rooted in sustainability and respect for the body. It was a humbling experience that reshaped how I approached fitness and inspired me to develop training methods that prioritize long-term wellness over extremes.

Today, I bring together lived experience and professional expertise as an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Animal Flow Level 1 Instructor.

Having lived through both ends of the fitness spectrum — from the most relaxed to the most intense — I’ve gained the insight and empathy to guide others through their own evolving fitness journeys.

My life experiences have taught me compassion, understanding, and the importance of balance — all of which allow me to bring real value to helping you achieve your health and fitness goals.
