My Journey to Health & Fitness
Although I have been athletic my whole life, I have not always been fit. For many years I struggled with my weight, had low self-esteem and couldn’t find an exercise program that I enjoyed enough to stick with. After having 2 daughters and a renewed motivation to get healthy, I finally found a program that was both effective AND fun. I could see and feel a difference not just in my looks, but in my energy level and self-confidence. The healthier I got, the happier I became! As my girls got older, sharing this became a priority and I decided to turn my passion into a business. At the age of 40, I started Strength & Balance. That was over 15 years ago and I have never looked back. I have had the privilege of sharing my love and knowledge of health and fitness with clients of all ages and abilities. Through my own personal journey I have discovered that what is enjoyable, is sustainable!
