About Me
Walking is one of the easiest ways to get your daily exercise. It’s free, you can do it anywhere and you don't need a lot of expensive equipment.
If you don't have time to fit in at least 30 minutes per day as recommended than take walk ‘bites’ throughout your day for 5-10 minutes. These can quickly add up to 30 minutes by the end of your day. Invite a friend, coworker or better yet your partner or your children to go with you. Instead of going out to eat at lunchtime, bring your own from home and make it transportable so you can eat it while you take a nice walk and enjoy the outdoors.

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. Itās amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bitesā throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
