I’m the heart behind Forever Growing Wellness — a certified wellness coach, lifelong learner, and someone who believes growth doesn’t stop just because life changes.

I’m 52 years old, and like many people, my relationship with my body and wellness has been a long journey. I grew up without a true understanding of what caring for my body really looked like. I remember eating French fries and drinking soda without a second thought, never realizing that what I was putting into my body didn’t just affect me in the moment — it would shape how I felt years later.

For much of my life, I experienced the familiar cycle of weight fluctuations and trying to “fix” my body without understanding how nourishment, movement, recovery, and mindset work together over time. It wasn’t until later that I had a powerful realization: my past habits were influencing my present, and no one had ever explained that connection to me in a way that felt empowering rather than shaming.

That realization changed everything.

Instead of chasing perfection or quick fixes, I began learning how to support my body with curiosity and care. I discovered that wellness isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about understanding it, learning from it, and growing forward with intention.
