Owner/Head Trainer
In 1981, I was diagnosed with childhood leukemia, a little-known and challenging disease to treat at the time. After enduring years of treatment at St. Jude Hospital, I was eventually declared cured at the age of 14. Although the chemotherapy saved my life, it left me with a host of long-term health issues as an adult.
Faced with a lifetime of adversity, I developed an unwavering determination to embrace fitness, strength, and overall health. Seeking knowledge and resources that were lacking in my own journey, I embarked on a different path. I dedicated months to shadowing a sports physical therapist and a corrective personal trainer, expanding my understanding of the intricacies of the human body and its healing processes.
Driven by my passion to comprehend and promote wellness, I pursued various educational opportunities. My credentials now include a NASM personal training certification, NASM certified women's specialist, NASM assisted stretch and flexibility coach, NPTI personal training diploma, and a 100-hour certification in nutrition. Additionally, I hold a fourth-degree black belt in Taekwondo, embodying discipline and resilience.
Today, I experience immense joy and excitement in assisting other women to achieve their fitness goals. By blending my personal journey, professional training, and teaching experience, I empower women to strive for optimal health. Total Body Metamorphosis becomes the conduit through which women discover their inner strength and unlock infinite possibilities for their well-being.
In this endeavor, I offer comprehensive fitness guidance and personalized plans tailored to each individual's unique needs. My approach combines physical training with nutrition, recognizing the vital role each plays in achieving holistic wellness. I strive to instill confidence, strength, and a lasting commitment to health in the lives of the women I have the privilege to guide. Let us together create a future where obstacles are transformed into opportunities and whDividerere every woman can embrace and celebrate her own Total Body Metamorphosis.

Even though I have been active my entire life, and, according to my dad, “strong as an ox,” my mid-thirties prompted a startling realization of just how far removed I was from my karate black belt days or effortlessly running several miles!
With three young children and a demanding full-time job, I found countless excuses for the weight gain and chronic fatigue, but one day the phrase "You can't pour from an empty cup" struck a chord.
I resolved to make a change, reignited my exercise routine, and immediately noticed a significant improvement in my mood. While it took some time to establish consistency in my nutrition, I eventually embraced the importance of protein and food as fuel.
The changes didn’t happen overnight, but consistency matters!
Now in my mid-forties, I’m in the best shape of my life and have discovered a true passion for personal training, particularly in empowering women through strength training. I believe this is especially crucial as women age, as it not only increases bone density but also generates a sense of well-being. As I like to say, “There's no better feeling than being strong!" — my preteen and teenage daughters want to be strong, too, and that keeps me motivated!
At TBM, we understand that losing oneself doesn't happen overnight; it's a gradual and often imperceptible process. Our mission is to assist you in uncovering and conquering obstacles along your fitness journey, which can sometimes include hormonal challenges. Together, we can help you become the strongest version of yourself. So, what's holding you back? We would be thrilled to accompany you on your journey!

Exercise has always been a part of my life since I was young. I have fond memories of sitting in a corner of the gym, coloring in my book while waiting for my mom to finish her workouts. As I grew older, my mom would take me and my sister for runs during summer vacations.
She also had gym equipment at home that she encouraged us to use. Thanks to her example, my sister and I became certified personal trainers. My mom, now in her late sixties, remains active and in great shape.
I am a mother of three boys who keep me busy. Staying active and exercising before, during, and after each pregnancy came naturally to me. However, after my last baby, I struggled with my physical appearance and condition. It took a lot of internal work and self-compassion to slowly regain a better version of myself. During that time, I learned the importance of sleep, managing stress, nutrition, consistency, and self-love.
I am now honored to work with Alicia, my former teacher in personal training school. Her knowledge and passion for wellness is inspiring, and I am proud to be a part of TBM, helping change the lives of women who come through its doors.
