Can you tell our readers about your background?

A helper by nature, I began as a high school psychology teacher. When I made the difficult decision to leave the classroom I knew I still wanted to do something that would have an impact, but I didn’t know where to begin. I opted to pursue my passion for health and wellness and became a Certified Therapeutic Exercise Specialist, Personal Trainer, and Wellness Coach specializing in postpartum care.
