Welcome to Create Joy Wellness

A story about why your coach made fitness, nutrition, and mindset her lifepath...

My journey has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but it's a story of resilience and transformation. In 2019, I relocated from Arizona to Alabama for a job opportunity that unfortunately didn't work out. This setback left me feeling lost and devastated. However, it was just before my 50th birthday that my life took a significant turn. I received a life-changing diagnosis: generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder, specifically high-functioning anxiety. This revelation became the catalyst for an incredible personal growth journey.

Through counseling, I gained invaluable insights and tools to manage my anxiety, tracing its roots back to when I was just five years old. For 45 years, I lived without a diagnosis, and understanding my condition made a world of difference. It led me to reassess my life and career, prompting me to leave my position as a C-level IT Executive and pursue a path that truly resonates with my heart.

I am now passionately dedicated to helping women become stronger, fitter, more confident, and bolder in every aspect of their lives. I believe in the transformative power of baby steps and setting realistic goals. My approach is all about nurturing self-love and patience, understanding that change is a journey with ups and downs.

I often share my story to remind others that they are not alone in their struggles. Whether it's managing anxiety, embarking on a fitness journey, or navigating life's challenges, I am here to offer support and guidance. I have come to realize that life's greatest challenges often lead to the most profound personal growth.

As your coach, I'm here to answer any questions and guide you every step of the way. Whether it's about nutrition, fitness, mental health, or simply needing a cheerleader, I'm all in. Your success, happiness, and transformation are what drive me every day. Let's embark on this journey together, embracing each challenge as an opportunity to grow and thrive and help you create joy!
