Even though I’d spend my 20’s working out in a gym, heading back into one after a substantial amount of time “off” made me feel nervous. I can totally remember walking around looking at all the different equipment and feeling intimidated and very unsure about what to do. I was convinced that everyone was watching [...]
One of the things I talk about a lot is that to stay massively committed to your goals sometimes you have to ignore your thoughts and feelings and actually do stuff you may not really feel like doing. Say what??? I know, it can seem counter intuitive - especially if you’re a smart, high capacity, [...]
Sometimes it can feel like your body just doesn’t make sense - I totally get it. I used to feel that way too and then I started to learn and do a ton of research on what happens with food + exercise and the impact both have on our bodies. What did I learn? Well, [...]
I’m so excited that 2014 is here!! I tend to not create “resolutions” but I do like to come up with a theme word for the year and I know without a doubt my word for this year is COURAGE. The online dictionary defines courage as “the state or quality of mind or spirit that [...]

My favorite thing about the work I do is helping women understand their bodies so they can stop waging a war against it and instead learn how they can become their own best ally. How? By understanding what to expect from their body both from a physiological level and an emotional one. If you’ve read [...]
If you’ve got young kids chances are you have more two bite little chocolate bars in your house than you know what to do with. These little morsels are deceptively evil for a few reasons. 1) They’re tiny. Which makes it hard to believe something smaller than your thumb could have the same calories as [...]
