📖 My Story:
Anorexic to obese... to finally at peace. 🕊🥰

Along the way I became:
🥑 A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) specializing in identification and diagnosis of malnutrition in clinical populations 🍓🥦
👩‍🏫 University professor in clinical nutrition and dietetics
💪 A nationally-recognized personal fitness trainer
🏋️‍♀️ A gym owner

So, I learned an awful lot about human physiology 🧬, nutrition science 🥑🔬, and how to uplevel your health and fitness. 👍

😥 BUT... I was still in turmoil.
I thought that becoming an expert in nutrition and fitness would “fix” me. Instead, it made me feel like an imposter.

💎 I finally found healing, but only when I learned to love myself unconditionally, and to embrace my body -regardless of its size- for all the amazing things it allows me to experience in this world. 🤗

🌸🌸🌸

🧘 So now, I inspire women to make peace with their bodies through joyful movement, mindful nutrition, and clothing that fits and flatters.

🌸 I am the creator of Briolates, a fitness program that fuses modern Pilates exercises with “brio” (energy, vitality, and joy). 💪 🥳

🌸 I also LOVE styling outfits, and helping ladies figure out how to optimize their wardrobes with clothing that looks and feels fabulous. 👗🛍

I have been honored to receive:
🏆 2011 American Council on Exercise “Personal Trainers to Watch” (Top 10 personal fitness trainers in the U.S.)
🏆 2017 Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year
🏆 2018 Outstanding Dietetics Educator of the Year
🏆 2019 University of Florida Teacher of the Year
👦🏼👦🏼 My greatest honor of all... momma to my two boys! ❤️❤️
