I’ve always had a deep love for movement and fitness. Growing up, I was a three-sport athlete — soccer, track, and lacrosse — and eventually earned a Division I lacrosse scholarship, where I learned the foundations of strength training and conditioning. But after graduation, real life hit. I stepped out of the athlete world and into the workforce as a teacher, and suddenly, everything I thought I knew about staying fit didn’t seem to work anymore.

Like many women, I tried to keep exercise a priority — but between teaching full-time, managing everyday responsibilities, and trying to stay “healthy,” I slowly lost touch with my body. I didn’t gain all the weight at once, but I’ll never forget the moment I saw a picture of myself and felt like I didn’t recognize the woman in it. I was in my 20s… and yet, I felt tired, uncomfortable, and completely disconnected from myself.

I went searching for answers — and like so many others, I found myself lost in a sea of trendy workouts, quick-fix programs, and contradicting advice:

21-Day Fix.

Weight Watcher.

12/3/30.

Keto.

HIIT.

Low-fat.

No carbs.

All protein.

It felt like everyone had a solution — and none of them worked for

me.

I bounced from program to program, doing “everything right” and seeing no real change. I was frustrated, burned out, and ready to give up.

That’s when I finally stopped chasing the next fad and started learning how the body actually works. I got certified in fitness and nutrition and applied everything I learned to myself first — slowly shifting my habits, building consistency, and creating a lifestyle that I could actually maintain.

And it worked. I lost the weight — over 50 pounds — and more importantly, I felt better than I ever had, even in my college athlete days.

Strong. Confident. Proud.

But the biggest transformation wasn’t physical. It was mental. I realized that this journey wasn’t about perfection or willpower — it was about strategy, education, and daily habits. And once I cracked that code, I knew I wanted to help other women do the same.

That’s why I started Warrior Bird Wellness and created

— a coaching program built to empower women with real tools, realistic plans, and sustainable results. I bring my background as both a teacher and a coach to every client relationship because I believe lasting change comes when you truly understand what you’re doing and why it works.
