After finishing my education, I dove head-first into building my career and raising a family. Like so many women, I put everyone and everything else first—and my own health last. Over time, the weight from pregnancy lingered, and no matter what I tried, it wouldn’t budge. Fatigue, bloating, and brain fog slowly became my new normal, and I knew something had to change. That’s when my search for real solutions truly began—not quick fixes, but a way to feel like myself again.

Enough was enough. I was tired of feeling stuck in my own body and watching my health slip away. So I made a decision—I was going to take it back. I joined a gym, learned everything I could, and showed up for myself no matter how busy life got.

But the truth hit hard: skipping meals, protein shakes, and hustling through exhaustion wasn’t a real solution. I didn’t need another temporary fix—I needed a lifestyle shift. So I chose myself. I walked away from the career that was draining me and stepped into a new path in fitness.

It wasn’t just about losing weight. It was about reclaiming my energy, my confidence, and my life.

That transformation lit a fire in me. I realized I didn’t just want to change my own life—I wanted to help women change theirs too. So I launched my first women’s fitness studio and became a certified personal trainer, determined to create a space where women could grow without pressure, shame, or one-size-fits-all plans.

Tu Sei Bella (You Are Beautiful) Dance Fitness in northern Indiana became that space—a studio built on confidence, community, and the belief that every woman deserves to feel strong in her own skin. I went on to earn certifications in nutrition coaching, women’s health, and barre, and I poured myself into community events that supported women just like me.

What started as my personal journey became my purpose. And along the way, I found not just clients, but a community—women who cheer each other on like family.

My studio taught me something powerful: women are stronger than we realize.

Life brought big changes—my children leaving home, a divorce, selling my studio, finding love again, a move to Fishers, and then COVID. In that season of transition, I had a choice: stay stuck or rise. I chose to rise. I leaned back into my passion, and it pulled me forward.

That’s when I launched my online coaching business, The Self-ish Life, LLC, helping women take back their health through fitness, nutrition, and sustainable habits. I met with clients one-on-one, created on-demand workouts, and poured my heart into serving women where they were.

Around the same time, I began teaching at Pure Barre Fishers—and I fell in love with the community. When the owner decided to sell, I took a leap of faith and purchased it. These women were getting stronger physically, but I saw the gap: they needed support with nutrition and mindset too. So I brought my coaching into the studio and watched their results grow in ways that went far beyond the scale.

Now, I’m bringing that same support to you.

Whether you live in Fishers or miles away, we can work together. I’ll meet you right where you are—even from the comfort of your own home.

Stronger body. Clearer mind. Healthier habits. A life you feel good living.

This is the beginning—not just for me, but for you too.

My mission is to help women reclaim their health, confidence, and identity through sustainable fitness, mindful nutrition, and a mindset grounded in self-worth—not self-sacrifice.

I believe wellness shouldn’t feel like punishment—it should feel like coming home to yourself.

Through coaching, community, and compassionate accountability, I help women build a lifestyle they can live with, not escape from. Because when a woman chooses herself, everything changes.
