Hello there! I’m Samantha (Sam to those who know me…meaning you…you’re in the circle now).
As a mom of two, one of which is a toddler with WAY to much energy and she gives none of it to me I need a lifestyle that allows me flexibility, consistency, and enjoyment. I am a military spouse who moves frequently. Keeping my routine and consistency to help ground me in each new location. Plus the support from my amazing women in the SOUL studio is priceless and something I lean on a lot. Having workouts that are done anywhere, with either all the equipment, or none of it is very helpful. Having supplements that fuel my body, filling in the gaps from sustainable real food nutrition is quick, easy, and tasty like dessert.
I started out back in 2016 with my own health journey after years (over 12) of chronic constipation, chronic gallbladder disease, and IBS. I also had high cholesterol and felt lost in this sea of medical “un-controllables”. I had just had my gallbladder and appendix removed and told myself I didn’t want to continue with health problems for the rest of my life. There had to be a better way! First things first was starting to treat my 25 year old body with respect and not like a garbage disposal. I started eating healthier, and working out… but I needed help. I needed guidance and I needed support.
I found BODi and the program 22 minute hard core. The variety, the support, my coach, the team; it has all brought so much light and balance to my life. I originally lost 20 pounds and over 20 inches! I was also able to have a healthy and fit pregnancy, twice. The first pregnancy I lost about 52 of the 60 pounds I gained! Throughout that postpartum journey I’ve had many struggles; one big one being a new diagnosis (2021) of hypothyroidism and medication to assist my body through that. After kiddo two was born, my thyroid took a bad turn and I’ve been working with my medical team through my new updated diagnosis of hashimoto’s finding better ways to support my body in recovery, healing, and strength.
My main health focus is how I feel. The scale, a tape measure, and pictures are all great tools to gauge how physical outward goals are being met. However, I prefer the weight I can continue to lift, the ability for my body to recover between workouts as my physical benchmarks. I am also very focused on how I feel, both in gut health and mindset health. Without a strong mindset; my stress can become overwhelming easily. I work with my team in the SOUL studio to make sure we focus on being fit in MIND, BODY, and SOUL.
I now feel more fit and healthy than ever because I have prioritized my health from the inside, focusing on food as fuel and movement that my body appreciates. I am in your corner! To help you customize tools and healthy practices to your life, your schedule, and to feel YOUR best. That way you can live your BEST life, and enjoy more life-giving moments!
I truly love all things that help me live a healthy lifestyle. That goes beyond workouts and healthy eating. For me, living healthy means using less chemicals, having more re-useable containers, products, movements, fuel for my body, mindset work through reading, and sustainably living. You’ll find me chatting in these newsletters about all the facets of a healthy lifestyle. I’m excited to share more with you!
