My Journey
Throughout my 50s and now into my 60s, I can honestly say I am experiencing the best years of my life—hands down. I’ve experienced an incredible level of personal and professional growth, confidence, strength, and fulfillment, and I truly believe fitness has been the foundation for it all.
“Bring it all on — I’m ready for it!”
My story
Once my children were grown, I knew it was time to reclaim my life and focus on myself again. At 50, I dove into training, became a certified personal trainer, and even opened my own personal training business. Then, at 57, I took the plunge and competed in an all-natural bodybuilding competition for the first time — and won 1st place as a debut competitor!
This journey hasn’t just transformed my own life; it’s changed the lives of countless clients who now live as happier, healthier versions of themselves. When I think of what a fit lifestyle brings, one word comes to mind: empowerment.
I’ve faced my own setbacks, like losing my training studio to a fire, but I didn’t let it break me. I firmly believe in manifesting positivity; when you do, good things follow. It’s all about building that mind-body-soul connection.
Looking ahead, my goal is to become the face of fitness for women over 40. I want to show every woman out there that you can overcome anything, even menopause, and still come out strong, fit, and confident. Bring it all on — I’m ready for it!
