About Heidi

Hi! I'm Coach Heidi - a mom, wife, personal trainer, bodybuilder, and mental health advocate.

I've always loved the human body and wanted to be a surgeon growing up. As I got into school and realized the time constraints that would have as a mom, I decided to pursue being a Physician Assistant.

Getting my degree in Exercise Science with the intention to go to PA school, I fell in love with my nutrition courses and the idea of PREVENTING health issues and healing them from the inside out. So I chose to become a personal trainer and health coach instead, realizing I could have a much greater and deeper impact on changing individuals' lives and health on a more comprehensive level.

I decided to compete in my first bodybuilding show shortly after graduating. I wanted to learn from the best coaches how to really break outside my comfort zone and achieve something I had never achieved before. I ended up falling in love with the sport and learned SO many valuable lessons about our physical health and mindset!

After having my two kids, I suffered from extreme postpartum depression and anxiety and DMERS (low dopamine due to breastfeeding). I had fought physical battles, but never such extreme mental battles.

It was such an eye-opening experience for me where I realized the power of our hormones and our minds, and the importance of blending western medicine with holistic medicine and doing what we can to better our health and fitness.

I realized the importance of ALL aspects of our health - not just our physical. Our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional all tie in together and affect each other.

I coach my clients now on a more holistic approach. To really help YOU succeed, I not only teach you the tools but most importantly HOW to implement them in real-life scenarios.
