ABOUT
Meet Your Coach
I’ve been married to Matt for 27 years and a mom for 24 years to Emily, Ethan, and Ella! I’ve always wondered why people name their kids with the same first letter, and now I’ve done it too—perhaps my love for the letter E shines through in my program (Educate, Empower, Evolve).
At home, we’re kept on our toes by our two Goldendoodles: Leia, who’s 13, and Luna, who’s 2. They make sure our house is never too quiet!
Our family grew in 2022 when Emily married Sedric. We thought adding six feet was fun; guess what is coming in July 2025! Two more feet!
