THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY SITE. HERE’S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME…

PERHAPS IT WAS DESTINY THAT I WAS BORN INTO THE FITT FAMILY. I HAVE THIS DRIVE TO SHARE MY LOVE OF FITNESS, HEALTH, NUTRITION, AND LIFELONG LEARNING, AND I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH MY NAME BEARING MY PASSION.

 I am a busy mom of three (and grandma to one) who loves the rush and stress relief that exercise provides, and I’m intent on fueling my body with the cleanest, healthiest foods possible. I teach high school physical education & indoor cycling classes at a local gym, am an avid yogi, just finished my master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition, and above all, I am an advocate for loving, healing, and nurturing the body, mind, and spirit. Health, wellness, and fitness are who I am almost every waking hour. 

MY WORLD CAME CRASHING DOWN WITH MY BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN MARCH 2014…

I’M GOING TO BE OKAY. I’M SURE OF IT. BUT I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON I WAS PRE-DIAGNOSIS.  AFTER A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY AND ONGOING RECONSTRUCTION, I HAVE SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON HEALTH, NUTRITION, AND FITNESS. I’VE THROWN MYSELF INTO READING AND STUDYING ABOUT HOLISTIC WAYS TO HEAL THE BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT. 

I WANT TO SHARE WHAT I’VE LEARNED WITH ANYONE WHO WILL HEAR ME.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO “ONE RIGHT ANSWER”—HEALTH IS SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL THING-- SO I WELCOME YOU TO TAKE THIS JOURNEY RIGHT ALONG WITH ME, LEARN AND GROW WITH ME, AND TOGETHER MAKE LIFE THE BEST EXPERIENCE IT CAN BE.

I sort through all of the confusing information out there about health, fitness, and nutrition and help people find the strategies that work for them to feel and look their best. Let me help YOU, too!

 Fun little facts

*I love to binge-watch tv series on Netflix. I admit, my favorite date with the hubs is takeout dinner and snuggling on the couch watching several episodes of our latest show.

*I’m a friendly introvert. I love people but I also love my alone time.

*I’m a land-locked California girl. I crave the energy and vibe of the ocean. In my mind I’m still the bikini-wearing beach bum I used to be.

*I love my furry friends. we always have several animals in the house, whether we’re dog-sitting our granddogs or taking care of our own #luckydog and his sister #trouble. And our #kitty is pretty special, too.

*I don’t work out for hours a day. I rest more than once a week. It is possible to be fitter and leaner without spending hours in the gym.

*If I pick up a good book, I can’t put it down. I get so drawn in that the world could come crashing down and I wouldn’t know. This is why I have to ration the books I have access to. Three of my favorites are The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman, Quiet by Susan Cain, and Complications by Atul Gawande. I am currently reading Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza and I am mind-blown!

*I compile all my own indoor cycling playlists and workouts. It’s possible for me to work hours on one 60-minute class.

*I’m afraid of heights, and yet I face my fear every day as I teach adventure education to my high school students. Indoor rock climbing, rappelling, zipping, and swinging are all in a day’s work.

*I wear my heart on my sleeve. what you see is what you get. No secrets. No drama. No judgement. We’ll get along great if you’re the same way.

*I was extremely healthy before my cancer diagnosis. I had none of the risk factors (smoking, drinking, obesity, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, family history, etc.). I foolishly believed it couldn’t happen to me.

*I met my husband when I was 10 years old. We still like each other after all of these years.

*I am super-disciplined when it comes to nutrition, exercise, and self-care, but in other areas of my life I’m a bit more free-spirited. (Don’t look at the mess that is my home office…)

*I honestly care about making a difference in your life. I want to help you be the strongest, healthiest, happiest person you can be.
