A clip from a candid conversation with my mentor Matt Gay…

From eating cheese fries in college to starting with my Zumba certification, my fitness story has been full of twists and turns. 💪 I wasn’t always ‘fit,’ but learning how to move and fuel my body has been life-changing. 🥗 Whether you’re dealing with ‘skinny fat,’ juggling cultural foods, or struggling to get back in shape after a setback, there’s always a way forward. This journey isn’t just about weight—it’s about health, confidence, and growth. It is not about perfection, but progress and growth! 🌱 Stay tuned for more of my journey!

A clip from candid conversation with my mentor Matt Gay…

One moment, I was teaching fitness classes— the next, I was in a car crash that left me with a cervical disc herniation, bulges, severe bruising, and so much more with a body in pain. That was just the beginning of my journey. But even in the darkest moments, I felt God’s presence guiding me through my healing journey. 🙌🏼✝️

With faith in the Lord, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and the influence of nutrition, I began to heal—body, mind, and spirit. It wasn’t easy, but through God’s strength and grace, I was able to transform my pain into purpose and grow in knowledge. 💫

If you’re struggling, trust that God can bring restoration and healing in ways you never imagined. His love, wisdom, and strength never fail. 🙏

Dance & Bible Talk Pop-Up… take two. 🤍

Another special day spent in movement, community, and His Word.

God downloaded this idea to me months ago, and it has been one of the truest blessings and gifts to see it come to life.

What’s even more special is having this beauty @_marisaisabel by my side. I was her mentor 15 years ago, and in a way, we have switched roles I am learning so much about scripture from her.

Our next Dance Burn & Bible Talk Pop-Up is Monday, June 22. Comment 🙏🏼 for more information, and if you’d love a pop-up in your area, send me a message.

We spend half our time praising Him through movement and the other half talking about Scripture, life, and what it means to walk through it all with God.

What a gift this has been.🥹🙏🏼 taken in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida by @_marisaisabel

My start in wellness began as a Zumba fitness instructor in 2012 (in NJ) which led into other certifications in different fitness formats, personal training, and health coaching. @tara_romano was my first mentor with Zumba, teaching “boot camp” style classes, learning how to coach, and how to hold classes on my own outside of a gym. Most importantly she brought out my personality, taught me how to be myself, and not a clone of other instructors. She pushed me out of my comfort zone by telling me to post on socials/YouTube.

The entire reason I pursued that career was because God led me to use those talents, as I had others like singing for worship, to glorify Him. I began teaching in churches and Christian conferences that year. Tara, even though she didn’t have an interest, at the time, constantly encouraged me to go for it and it grew from there. Fast forward to the last couple of years, she is not only my mentor but my sister in Christ. She has a passionate love for the Lord and is sharing it with everyone. Last nights class was so special to me because it was a full circle moment where Tara and I taught dance fitness with new friends to Christian music. It was beautiful and amazing! 🙌🏼✝️ I love you Tara! I know you are proud of me, I am equally as proud of you! You have been a great blessing in my life, who helped me grow into who I am today, who God created me to be. Thank you for inviting me to teach with you and beside you again last night! 🤗❤️ Also, @bribella16 Tara was right she said I’d love you. You are an absolute joy and treasure of a person! So instantly welcoming, kind, and sweet! It was a pleasure to teach and dance beside you as well! Yay for new friends! by @_marisaisabel

I’ll never say I wanted what brought me to Jesus, but I also wouldn’t trade it because of Him.

Tonight, after class, I found myself trying to put into words what He’s done in my life, but words never feel enough.

What I do know is that knowing Him has made me want to be more like Him. More gracious. More compassionate. More forgiving. More patient. More loving.

Because during the times I needed it the most that’s what I experienced from being in constant conversation with Him.

One thing life keeps teaching me is that every person is carrying something we cannot see, whether it be a struggle, a fear, an insecurity or trauma. And I know that’s why kindness matters so much. Because we never really know what someone is walking through.

And Jesus was the most beautiful example of that. And I can’t help this desire to want to share everything I’m experiencing and learning.

My hope for all of us is that we learn to see each other the way God sees us. With more grace,more compassion, and more love.🤍

My heart is so full.

Thank you everyone who came tonight! Your love and support means so much. Thank you @bribella16 for sharing the Lord in conversation with me from the moment we met and saying yes this class with me. @healthygirl_8 and @_marisaisabel and @natyboo5 for sharing your talent. by @_marisaisabel

Have you been craving a little life glow-up lately? Not the dramatic kind, just the gentle, take care of yourself like you mean it version.

I did a mini Costco run and grabbed the staples that always make me feel more aligned with fresh color, clean proteins, gut-happy greens, and those easy swaps that keep meals feeling light, nourishing, and doable on the busiest days.

It is wild how much your whole week shifts when your fridge actually supports the version of you you’re trying to grow into.

If you want to see what made it into my cart and how I turn it into simple, grounding meals, the mini haul is up on YouTube ➡️ video link in my bio. 🌿✨

or add in the comments “COSTCO” and I’ll DM you the direct link.

Here is to the soft glow-up era, starting with more healthy food options as we transition into a new year! Steady, balanced, rooted. 💚

🍦 Obsessed with ice cream but chasing those protein goals? I went FULL mad scientist and blended EVERY FlavCity protein flavor into my Ninja Creami... turning shakes into legit pints of creamy bliss! (25g+ protein each)

Straight-up healthier than Ben & Jerry’s, like a creamy dream that’ll have you hiding the pint from roommates. There was one flavor that was total flop. 😂. If you’ve got a Creami, this taste test is your sign to experiment, but skip the gross flavor! There are so many more flavors to try that made delicious ice cream! 🍨

Watch the full ranking + reactions now (YouTube video link in my bio). Which flavor ice cream is YOUR favorite?

Drop it below & tag a friend who needs this hack! 👇🏼⬇️✨

For a DM with the direct YouTube video link, you can also drop a 🍦or the word CREAMI in the comments.

Today I dropped off @operationchristmaschild boxes at and my heart is full. 🎄These boxes are more than just gifts but a simple way to show a child on the other side of the world that they are loved, special, and not forgotten. 🎁

It is amazing how something so small can carry hope, joy, and the love of Christ across the world. ❤️ Praying these boxes reach the exact child who needs them. 🙏🏼

Packing these gifts reminded me of the greatest gift ever given, Jesus. ✝️
