A PROGRAM FOR SUCCESS…
Life isn’t always easy, kind or fair. I believe that no matter what obstacles or challenges you have in life, you must keep moving through them. You have to focus, invest and take action with what you want in life and that starts with good mental health and having realistic goals. Being Mentally and/or Physically FIT is a process and you can only achieve it by bettering yourself one day at a time.
I have worked with hundreds of clients and what elevated them to achieving their goals was believing that EVERY REP IS A STEP in life. You have to be consistent and every repetition you take is another step in the right direction. You can break bad habits with repetitions and/or upgrade your goals the harder you work at it. We can’t control what goes on in life but we can control our mind to be powerful, focused and clear.
As a person battling Multiple Sclerosis, YOU can take charge of your life’s direction with this disease and conquer it through the 3 Keys to Fitness: Mindset; Exercise and Nutrition.
David Lyons and I are dedicated to putting you on solid ground to have the strength both physically and mentally to win the fight against MS.

LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME…
We all have something we have or continue to struggle with in life. I have struggled with my weight for most of my life.
I have been mocked and shamed since the age of ten, because I didn’t live up to society’s standards of how “Lou Ferrigno’s” (The Hulk) daughter should look.
Though my parents always supported me, I never felt like I had a community that really understood or supported me in how hard it felt to break the cycle of emotional eating, finding balance with food & loving the body I had been given.
Six pack abs are lovely, but I believe in balance.
I also believe in having realistic goals and making every rep you take in life, mentally and/or physically, a step to achieving what you want.
The only way I learned to RESET myself was when I took the time to acknowledge (and accept) this:
Though it took decades to break most of my harmful habits, I had to work hard to find my authentic Blueprint so I could make the rest of my life sustainable (and fun)!
Now it’s YOUR turn to take control and write YOUR Blueprint for the rest of your life with MS.
