I’m Jessica. I’m a certified personal trainer, a student of functional nutrition, a mom of two boys aged 2 & 4, a wife to a tv production / photographer guy, living in the South Bay of Los Angeles.

I’ve been a deeply feeling person all my life, and my childhood was muddied by a lot of bullying. I grew up in the country, and took buses to school - and the hour ride each way there and back was filled with glares, shouted insults, laughing at me. I used to call my mom crying, begging her to pick me up. I was desperate not to get on the bus, or to go to school.

I’ve never really talked about it here, because it was only this year, at age 40, that I realized what parts of me these experiences led to.

I spent a lot of time scared to participate in new things, and always questioning what people thought of me. I have been presented opportunities for being on TV and modelling, and always declined due to self doubt. I still work through some anxiety, except now with a lot of scientific knowledge and psychological understanding. I’ve sold myself short. I have come off as awkward in situations, I have been repeatedly called an overthinker, and in retrospect have always struggled with a dysregulated nervous system. (Until putting in the missing work this year.)

I always yearned to connect with and to help others, and my passion for health and fitness that blossomed at the age of 16 allowed me to do exactly that.

For 23 years now I’ve been training and educating, supporting and laughing with really wonderful clients.

My why and my mission have ALWAYS been to support people to get their bests out of themselves. To not sell themselves short, to make the most of this one life.

When we become strong & healthy, we become unbridled.

We shake off dead skin, we work through past trauma, we dismantle shackles and we MAKE THE MOST of our time here. Best part? It spreads around to others.

My fitness programs and nutrition coaching will help you to disrupt chronic illness, disrupt feeling small, and to disrupt selling yourself short.

Did you have an experience with bullying? Does it affect you in adulthood? Let me know in the comments.
