Wellness Coach.

Community Advocate.

I became a wellness coach, because eating right and exercise helped save my life and allowed me to find my sexy SELF! The death of my grandmother, my children’s father, feeling depressed lead to drug abuse, alcoholism, and the night life left my body a wreck. I was a mess. Discovering God and exercise got me out of that mess. When I got clean, I need something to replace my old BAD habit. Exercise and the curiosity of healthier foods was it! As the years passed, my passion for wellness grew and I became a certified trainer, then fitness nutritionist. I wanted to help others get healthy and fit at their pace. Regift and amazing gift that was given to me.

Fausto is my wonderful husband – Jaylin, Mia, Jamila, Laura, and Allegra are my beloved children. Their belief in me is what keeps me going.

I am a former natural figure competitor, winning in both NSL and Musclemannia Federations. Although strength training is my favorite way to workout running keeps me grounded. I met my husband running at Memorial Park – its an activity we bond over. Some of our best dates are a run, followed by a nice conversation over a healthy lunch at Whole Foods.  We run Houston Marathon (him) and Half Marathon (me) for the past 6yrs . When I run – I communicate with my Creator, clear my mind, and improve my cardio of course!

I served 9 years at Houston Nursing and Rehabilitation and was crushed to learn fall 2018 that the doors would be closing. Over those 9 years the patients and staff became my extended family. After mourning I understood that season of my life was over. Another began with Alice Gathering Room. AGR is a place in the same underserved community to provide safe non judgmental place to discuss the struggles of getting well, and offer solutions. I am from this community, it wasn’t until I moved out that I was introduced to sage, basil, or even rosemary. One feature we have is an herb garden in front. Introducing alternative options to season and flavor food. We have fresh natural juice and a vegetable garden in back.
