Introduction I'm a practicing gym rat who loves muay-thai kickboxing and all things martial arts. Like a lot of people, I am juggling parenthood (2 kids), a full-time career (Consultant of Employee Benefits) and taking care of myself (a big and never-ending job). I'm passionate about wellness and use that to help my clients design and execute wellness strategies to help their employees and their families. My life change happened when I took a diabetes risk quiz at age 23 provided by my former employer and scored a risk factor 8 out of 10. Not long after I saw a vacation photo and barely recognized myself. So began my quest to get healthier, have a great quality of life and shop in the “cute” section again. My experiences along the way have empowered me. My employer's quiz was one catalyst that helped shape my personal passion for wellness and my belief in the role an employer can play in reaching their people in ways no one else can. I'm discovering as I go along that wellness is a journey and that caring for my soul is even more critical than the time I spend in the gym. Here's to living a life that is truly well - inside and out!
