My Journey

---

I studied nutrition & health at Central Michigan University. I earned a B.S. degree in Nutrition & Dietetics in 2002 and became a Registered Dietitian in 2004. I have worked in a variety of settings including public health & in the outpatient clinical setting. My primary interest has always been in weight management, and while I was able to do some of this in the clinical setting, I had a better idea. 

I knew my clients could see better success with weight loss if they had more support and encouragement than what their insurance covered, so I started to build a program that would meet these needs. In January 2019 I started my business, Inspire Health & Wellness. I didn't have a clue about running a business, but I had a passion & I knew I could help people. I created a Facebook page & a flyer and got to work! 

Soon after I started my business it was evident to me that nutrition & fitness go hand & hand and while I had always been active & fit, I didn't have the knowledge or training to support others with their fitness. I have since become a Certified Personal Trainer, and I so enjoy the fitness aspect of my work. 

Through trial & error I continued forward. My client base and client successes began to grow! Two years later I was able to quit my day job and now dedicate all of my time and effort into helping ladies across the country become better versions of themselves.

Initially I was primarily working with just local clients. My client base has now expanded partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to go virtual. I can now work with anyone, anywhere and my clients can meet with me when and where its convenient for them.  

My techniques have gained popularity both locally and nationally. I've been featured on local TV stations. I use social media as a way to spread my messages, education & reach. TikTok especially has been a fun platform and has greatly expanded my client base. I enjoy creating exciting new content that gives my followers a taste of what it's like to work with me! 

My passion is in helping women feel better about themselves through nutrition & fitness. I love this work and I truly love what I do!
