› My own transformation I didn’t start out as a life or healthcoach. As a highpowered federal lobbyist, my schedule was nothing short of demanding. Habitually dehydrated, and without proper nutrition, I quickly slid down a slope of unhealthy habits. As a result of my health choices, migraines became a natural part of my everyday life and disabled me from working or completing any daily activities. I started on the program that I now coach to lose weight myself, and through it found the health and wellness that I was so desparately seeking as well as the gratitude for what I had. Coaching is my way of paying that gift forward and helping others to experience the same gift of wellness that I received.

Contrary to popular belief, gratitude is more than throwing a quick “thank you” over your shoulder to your barista in the morning. Gratitude, through all of our commercialized holidays, has been watered down by our consumerism. During the holiday season, it seems like what we’re most grateful for is new, materialistic items, when we should be focusing our appreciation on things that cannot be bought; family, friends, and health (and, let’s be real here, food). It is not what you physically take away from the holidays, i.e. those new kicks you’ve been wanting forever, but what you take away spiritually. The most important things, family, friends, and health,, happen to be the most fragile and fleeting things in our life; so everyone take a moment this season to appreciate the people in your life and grow a little more in your own spirituality everyday.
