Take Me, I’m Yours!
Hey Sweeties . . . it’s the holidays and I am busy busy busy whipping up treats for you for the new year! Not cookies, pies or cakes, no no . . . this mama’s launching a new coaching venture!
Yes, you read that right, I’m takin’ my show on the road – to your house or business. I want to teach you how to eat for health and fat loss, how to prepare delicious foods that’ll boost your health, nutrition and physique, clean out your pantry, work out your body. Is accountability your weakest link? Let’s go high-touch: Hire me to be your coach, your nag, your sherpa through the journey of healthying up your diet and maximizing the efficacy of your workouts. Texts and emails go a long way toward keeping you on track to your goals. I’m never far from my smartphone . . . always at the ready to help you make a plan, guide you through a crisis and help you reach your goals.
While this blog was sleeping, I’ve been studying, working toward my official certifications in personal training and nutrition, and soft-launching my business. Current clients are seeing RESULTS. Weight lost, confidence gained, lessons learned, permanent lifestyle changes are being MADE. Listen to what they’re saying:
“No more self-sabotage!”
“My cravings have diminished . . . .”
“The support has been super helpful for me.”
“Who knew that one simple tip could be a complete game-changer for me.”
“I always think it’ll be so awkward if I don’t partake in all things delish, but in reality, it’s all about the company.”
“You have seriously been the difference maker . . . this is the most weight I’ve lost.”
This could be you! Why not get in touch and let me help you move the ball forward in 2014?
