WHAT IS TELOS?

“This tendency toward ‘self-actualization’ is as natural as a plant’s growth upward toward the light when given adequate soil, water, and sunshine. It is as if each person has a natural mature end-state or purpose (telos, in greek) toward which he or she will grow given optimal conditions.”

— William R. Miller, Stephen Rollnick “Motivational Interviewing”

  • DREAM

    In 2011, I earned several certifications in personal training and functional fitness, and began training clients the small gym I built in my garage.

    I felt the benefits of nutrition and exercise dramatically!

  • DISCOVER

    Yoga has my heart but lifting weights and suffering through tough workouts is my jam! I test mental and physical limits with endurance events including running mountain trails, marathons, an ultra-marathon, a 70.3 IRONMAN triathlon, and two 140.6 IRONMAN races.

    I do it because I can!

  • CULTIVATE

    Proper nutrition is crucial for living well and warding off disease. A lifelong poor diet led me to the nagging discomfort of a very unhealthy gut. Learning about gut health and adapting my diet accordingly made the difference. I’ve experimented with Paleo, Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, ultimately deciding that the more colorful fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and whole foods, the better!

    Healthy choices for a healthy life!

My Story…

My passion to help others live their best, healthiest life has been ongoing for several decades and is stronger than ever!

Being a caregiver and watching first-hand the sad, ugliness of degenerative disease, has led me to this moment, and taught me how to be knowledgeable, empathetic, and motivated to help others.

Many daughters fret being like their moms. I adored my mom! However, I was determined that my life story would be different than hers. A diagnosis of MS progressed to severe brain deterioration and ended with early onset Alzheimer’s.

Genetics were not a factor.

Her lifestyle was one of high stress, poor nutrition, and lacked physical activity.

It was too late for me to help her, so it’s my desire to help YOU!
