What drives you?
My passion is that people can walk and live free. There is freedom to choose, but what is the best choice? This is different for all of us, there is no one size fits all answer. Once we find a good groove, things change, we marry, we have kids, the kids go off to college, we change jobs, the weather changes, we get older, you name it, we are changing. We have the power to adapt to changes in our circumstances and remain free. It is my vision that I can help others find their freedom and hold firm to ultimately live their best life now and into the future.
Who are you?
I am a gal that loves Jesus and leans into Him and his transformation power. I live in Coon Rapids, MN with my supportive husband Jake and our 15-year-old son Payton. I have a passion for health and wellness, what that means, what that looks like for us as individuals and how we can transform our daily practices from fear based to love based. I want to experience the joy of being alive in all that I do. In my earlier days I used the scale as a tool to see how I was doing. I have learned that we are whole integrated beings and we can be well no matter the number on the scale. Once I learned about the different wellness areas and how they work together I am better equipped to make choices that increase my quality of life. I have the gift of gab and openness with all I meet, I feel most alive with others, listening and talking about how we navigate life’s challenges and victories.
What do you hope for?
I am eager to build a relationship with you and create an environment where you are seen, safe and heard. You know your body and lifestyle best, you are your own expert, I am here to serve, guide and encourage you on this journey to healthier living free from overwhelm. Using my passion and life experiences I strive to help you live free. Freedom looks good on you!
Who do you feel called to serve?
I feel especially called to serve women who don't feel like "healthy" is attainable. Feel like they are too far gone, or that has been raised in a physically unhealthy home and doesn't see how healthy is possible through behavior change. I feel called to serve people that think they can't exercise. My experience and background connect me to moms, single moms and women who struggle with depression and disordered eating/living.
God is calling me to serve by helping them, see their body as the best place on earth. The place that houses their spirit , their personality, the place they get to give and receive love. The place where heaven gets seen.
What do you give as a coach?
Compassion: I feel compassionate towards people who's bodies have caused some immobility issues or dis-ease. I feel their "I am broken" and want to help transform to "I am fully alive & have good stuff to do" Because if you're not dead, God is not done! Yes, you can!
I want to walk alongside anyone who has paired with the lie that their body is a burden, tired, pain, can't do that etc. Seeing them, hearing them declare the grave has no power over me. And get up and go.
I want to give a safe space to people who have had some body shame, obsession, neglect. I am open and loving about all of it. Depression. Women who have a dark lingering and a shine of hope.
Who were you before God brought you healing?
Very afraid, constricted, rigid, wandering and searching. Pendulum swinger. Heavy restrictor, riddled with blame seeking, problem searching, nit picky. Obsessed about weight, body. I did not feel free to be me. I understand peoples pain that blame their bodies for everything except feeling good.
Who do you want to serve?
Moms. Moms that know how serious their lives are and how they live affects their children.
People who are brave enough to come to a fitness class who don't normally fitness. "The new person, first timer or re-enter" is my favorite type. Brave enough to make a change.
What keeps you showing up when things get hard?
Jesus, I know, I have faith that on the other side of this hard is goodness, glory to God!
What is a change you wish to see in others?
See them make small changes and start that upward spiral, adjusting from the doom spiral to the hope spiral. I want to see generational lifestyles and diseases get changed.
