I want to share my story with you.  It’s not especially exciting really, it’s about what I have learned and how I have broken the mold in making my fitness coach business a successful one!   I broke the rules….

First and foremost, I am an orthotherapist.  I learned how to heal the body: be careful, take care, soft hands, nurture… well, all clinic work.  And then, I became a rehabilitation specialist, where the same rules apply.  It worked, in a small sort of way.  There was something missing… I knew that I had to change things up to make it happen for my clients… True to myself, I had to live it… I began training my body in a very different way, I explored athletics, strength, sculpting.. I pushed my limits at every turn.  I worked and am still working with my personal trainer (yes, the trainer needs a trainer, we all do! @TonyGreco), and through all my courses in fitness coaching (too many to list), and through all of my learning in nutrition, I found that my clients were being underchallenged.  These courses are formulated in a way that will always leave the client underchallenged, because we don’t want to be responsible if something goes wrong.  If you know your stuff, things won’t go wrong!  I have faith in my knowledge and in my experience, I am limited only by my own imagination.
