About
I have spent my adult years in the healthcare industry both human and animal with a BS in Pre Veterinary Medicine, I found a passion for the fitness industry through my own personal experiences in how this industry has helped me to live, cope and grow as a human and a mother through many tragedies that have befallen me throughout my life and have matriculated into the fitness industry as a profession 6 years ago. I have a love for children and have spent a couple of years working with Homeschooled children creating PE programs for homeschooled students and for those with special needs. I became a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM to be able to train my younger brother who is homeschooled and it started to evolve in the industry to training both Adults and Children of all walks of life. I have since obtained my CPT certification through ISSA, with continuing education towards becoming a Master Trainer through ISSA. I have had the best mentor in this industry working along side Ernie Villegas with Ernies Elite Team who has been both my coach/trainer with my own fitness journey as well as my life coach and professional coach.
My passion for this industry is fueled by the dyer need for humanity to stay active living a healthy lifestyle both Mentally and Physically and get to a place where Chronic illness cause by sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition is no longer an epidemic especially among youth. I also specialize in addiction recovery, through the power of strength training. The construction of working out, and eating right plays a vital role in ones recovery. Individuals struggling with addiction need structure especially in early recovery to replace unhealthy habits and obsessions with healthy ones. I believe anyone who has the courage and drive can achieve any goals they set forth physically and mentally. I am a mother of 2 and both my children are happily living an active lifestyle and are also motivated to stay healthy and fit by making smart choices for nutrition and physical activity.
As an active Figure competitor and welcome anyone who wants the challenge to get on that stage or to train/ look like a competitor. I believe in hard work and push my clients to challenge themselves in ways they would not do on their own so they can and will achieve any goal they set forth while having a ton of fun at the same time. My mission is to create strong bodies for life one rep at a time....
“It all starts with one.... From the first step you take to that first drop of sweat on your brow, and that first feeling of defeat when you fall to your knees not sure how you can continue on. Somehow the strength from within fights through as the blood pumps throughout your body from your heart to the very cells that fuel human movement... and life” J.Reed

I do work with individuals of all backgrounds, from children to special needs, athletes, and ANYONE who is willing to embrace living a healthy lifestyle
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
In late 2017 I was blessed with the opportunity to be a guest speaker to a grade school with regards to health and fitness. I have a love for children and youth with experience working with special needs, and I was given a gift to help inspire and impress upon a group of wonderful children on the importance of living a healthy lfestyle.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
To give yourself a chance to experience what that educator has to offer. Not all are created equal and there is always someone for everyone in this industry. Its knowing what goals you have and being able to find someone who has the education, experience, drive and motivational qualities to get you to your goals.
