Achieve with Athena

December 2025 ➡️ September 2026

Down 12 lbs and 6% body fat while maintaining muscle mass… all without tracking a thing.

The biggest change?

Reducing inflammation.

For me, the number one driver was getting OUT of chronic mold exposure. Until my environment changed and my toxic load reduced, it felt like no amount of workouts or healthy eating could move the needle.

I was puffy. Bloated. Inflamed. And trapped in a body I no longer recognized.

As a fitness and nutrition coach, that was incredibly jarring. Taking a new in-person training job at a time when I felt my absolute worst in my own body was a huge mind f*ck.

But it was also incredibly eye-opening, and I know it’s going to make me a better coach for others who are doing “all the right things” and still feel like their body isn’t responding.

I’m still working on healing my gut, restoring nutrient depletion, and supporting my body through this process. Healing hasn’t been linear. I still have days when I flare, and my body is much more sensitive to chemicals and environmental triggers than it used to be.

But after 205 days spent bouncing between rentals, Airbnbs, and family, we are finally back in our remediated house.

There’s still healing to do.

But I’m healing.

Slow and steady.

And little by little, I’m finding my way back to ME. ❤️

I don’t want strength training. I just want to tone up and lean out.”
—women are still saying this in 2026… 👀

And honestly? I get it.

A lot of women want low-impact workouts because they’re trying to protect their bodies, not break them. They don’t want to aggravate old injuries, they’re over jumping everywhere, and after having kids, mainstream strength training often just doesn’t feel the same. (I can absolutely attest to that.)

What often gets missed in the search for “low-impact toning workouts” is this:

“Toning” isn’t a style of workout.
It’s a result.

And that result comes from:
1️⃣ Having muscle
2️⃣ Reducing body fat enough for it to show

To build or maintain muscle?
Yes, you do need strength training.

The good news is that strength training can absolutely be low impact, joint-friendly, and adapted to your body. With the right programming, it can even work alongside barre or Pilates, not replace them.

If you want to lean out without guessing—or feeling like you have to crush yourself to get there, DM “TONE.” 💬

Plot twist… I’m in person again 💪🏼

I’ve officially accepted a position with Life Time Burlington and will be joining their personal training team starting January 6th.

I was scouted for this opportunity earlier this month, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be more aligned with my expertise, the direction of my work, and what my family needs right now.

I’m excited to step into this new chapter as a go-to in-person coach for Lifetime members, especially moms navigating postpartum + perimenopause!

And if I’m being honest?
I’ve really missed this.
Being on the fitness floor.
Working hands-on with clients.
Sharpening my craft alongside an incredible team.

This role lets me do all of that again.

And just to be clear, my online business and Balanced Body program isn’t going anywhere and remains completely separate. This just adds another layer to how and where I get to coach.

Excited for this next chapter ✨ and can’t wait to share more of it with you.
