About

Finding Strength Within


For nearly two decades, this rock at the entrance of my neighborhood has stood through every season with me—strong, imperfect, and still standing. Thirteen years ago, during a season of deep grief and trauma, it became more than a landmark. It became my reminder that strength doesn’t disappear—it gets rebuilt.

At my lowest point, healing started with a simple daily decision: get up, get out and face the world, and move forward—one bite at a time. What used to be the turnaround point on my daily jogs became my walking goal for rebuilding strength, both physically and emotionally. No grand plan. Just showing up.

That season changed everything. It led me to start my self-prescribed grief therapy business, Inspired by Fitness, where I was honored to support hundreds of people as they rebuilt strength, fitness levels and confidence. My journey and everything I’ve learned and become a student of has led me here, to create Inspired By Living Well, where it’s about more than just fitness, it’s about living well in all areas of life. I am inspired by living well to serve my passion for empowering lives, one woman at a time.

My Approach

I believe in holistic, science-backed, evidence-based health and wellness—because your body, your brain, and your life are one-of-a-kind. Your plan should be, too. No cookie-cutter programs here.

I’ve invested years in advanced education and specialized training so I can support women in the areas where things often get complicated: hormones, life transitions, weight changes, mental wellbeing and that ever-present mental load we don’t talk about enough. Together, we take a whole-person approach that’s rooted in science but built for real life—not perfection.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Science-backed, evidence-based strategies (not trends or TikTok hacks)

  • Lifestyle medicine principles that actually fit into your day

  • Simple, sustainable steps—because “all or nothing” usually leads to nothing

  • Private, 1:1 support with guidance and accountability

  • Real talk about what works, what doesn’t, and why

No extremes. No guesswork. No pressure to be anyone but yourself.
Just smart, personalized support to help you feel better, stronger, and back in charge of your health and your life.

Why Women’s Health and Mental Wellness

Let’s be honest—women carry a lot. The mental load alone could qualify as a full-time job.

We manage our own health, our families’ needs, aging parents, children, careers… and somehow we’re still expected to have it all together. Add hormonal shifts, unrealistic expectations, and a healthcare system that wasn’t built with female bodies in mind, and exhaustion starts to feel normal.

That’s why I specialize in women’s health. We need trained professionals who understand how our bodies actually work—and how complex our lives really are. And that’s why mental wellness matters just as much. Because healing doesn’t start on the outside. When we support the mind and brain first, everything else—from energy and mood to habits and health—has a chance to fall into place.

This work isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what actually helps—starting from the inside out.
