WHAT DRIVES HER “I’ve always been pretty driven in life. When I was a kid, I taught myself how to tie my shoes and to ride my bike. You couldn’t tell me nothing! Haha. A few years have passed since, I’ve learned a lot of lessons along the way, and today what also drives me to be successful is my faith in God. He has taken what was a huge source of weakness most of my life (my personal experience with an eating disorder) and is showing me how to use my recovery from this as a tool to help other women heal their relationship with themselves and food — and not just women with eating disorders. The women I work with range the health and wellness scale, from women simply wanting to improve their diet and body image to women with more serious issues.”

WHAT DRIVES HER “My drive comes from my children. My first daughter was born when I was young and as a result, my family turned their backs on me. I was told that I was following my family’s generational curse by having her at a young age therefore, I would not amount to anything. I survived depression, homelessness and domestic violence relationships where I was close to death among other feats that would drive most women to break. I am where I am because God knew it long before I believed in myself to do it.”
