About
Finding Strength Within
For nearly two decades, this rock at the entrance of my neighborhood has stood through every season with me. Strong, storm-weathered, and still standing. Thirteen years ago, during a season of deep grief and trauma, it became more than a landmark. It became a symbol 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 making it to my rock.
That season changed everything. It led me to start my self-prescribed grief therapy business, Inspired by Fitness, where I was blessed to support hundreds of people as they rebuilt emotional and physical strength and confidence. My journey and everything I’ve learned 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 through my passion for empowering lives, one woman at a time.
My Approach
No extremes. No guesswork. No pressure to be anyone but yourself. Just smart, personalized support to help you feel better, stronger, and bin charge of your health and your life.
I believe in holistic, science-backed, evidence-based health and wellness, because your body, your brain, and your life are one-of-a-kind. So 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, mood shifts and that ever-present mental load we don’t talk about enough. Together, we take a holistic 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 influencer hacks)
Lifestyle medicine principles that actually fit into your day
Simple, sustainable steps, because “all or nothing” usually leads to nothing
Private 1:1 & Group support with guidance and accountability
- Workshops, Programs, Tools & Resources
Real talk about what works, what doesn’t, and why
