360° Fitness Coach My Fitness Journey
After living through the emotional trauma, fractured bones and a mental health breakdown, I have deep empathy for what it takes to recover from “broken” experiences. I spent countless years repeating unhealthy patterns, trying to “fix” the fragments of my self esteem based on one or more aspects of my life.
I worked on my mental health by undergoing individual psychotherapy, neglecting physical exercise and ignoring external influences on my emotional wellbeing. I worked on my career and educational pursuits, ignoring the physical and emotional toll they took on my body & soul. I worked on improving the way I looked on the outside to gain validation from others, while my own self confidence and peace of mind diminished. Working on these three aspects of my life independently of one another often kept me feeling broken, busted and disgusted as I tried to maintain balance in my daily life.
Thankfully I discovered a path to motivate, affirm and practice living whole daily by learning how to show up as my true undivided self. The Tri-Fi Life 360° Fitness M.A.P. was the labor of love birthed through my personal fitness journey. This discovery led me to connect my physical, mental and emotional well being to my fitness goal to feel healthy, whole and complete. Guiding others on the path to this 360° connection between mind, body and soul is the basis for my work as an allied health professional. Just like Wi-Fi connects us to the world wide web, my hope is that Tri-Fi will connect the world to the goal to live whole…mind, body & soul.
