My Story
I'm a professional figure skater and PSA rated and ranked choreographer. The photo on the right was what I looked like at the age of 40 at 170 lbs. I had been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and underwent oophorectomy surgery. Then, as a result of not having the right recovery and therapy information, I overtrained, and shattered my right ankle.
I thought that I ate pretty healthy at the time, and under different circumstances, I may not have gained 40 lbs. But, gaining the weight was my wake-up call that I needed to do better. As I began researching, I realized that my diet likely contributed to my health problems. And, I decided to make some changes. I also saw, from coaching young skaters, that many parents and families were in need of nutrition information too.
So, I studied became certified as an International Sport Sciences Association and Precision Nutrition. I am proud to be Elite Personal Trainer (E-CPT) and Nutritionist (CN, Pn1, YNS). also happen to an award-winning chef. In my 20s, after taking classes at the Culinary Institute of America, I was the executive chef for Cork Restaurant in Camden, Maine.
