Hi there, I’m Tina!

Growing up, I always had to reach from within to gain strength to overcome my fears and anxieties of life. Some of those anxieties were my weight, growing up in a divorced family and fear of not succeeding. My weight always fluctuated and that was frustrating for me. My parents divorced when I was five and my Dad ended up raising me as a single parent. He was and is the most incredible Dad!! It still wasn't easy but I definitely received a lot of love. Support groups and other helping modalities were not around when I was growing up and there definitely weren't health coaches.

By going through all of this, it did make me stronger but it was also a lonely ride even though I always had many friends around me. I found my outlet which was sports. We all had to have those outlets because as I said before there wasn't much support otherwise. Playing sports gave me confidence, drive and determination which helped me grow and flourish during my teen years.

I feel fortunate to have met my amazing husband who, when we met, has guided me, supported me and continued to let me flourish and grow to be the person that I am today. I am so grateful for him and for all of the unbelievable friends and family who have supported me all of my life. Now, as a health coach, because of my struggles and successes in life, I am able to be vulnerable with my clients and share the real me!! The me that they can relate to, the me that gives that safe space to share and be vulnerable too. Thank you to all my clients that I have worked with over the years and I look forward to helping you on your health journey and to be that guide by your side.

I am also a Health Coach at LifeScape Functional Medicine Practice
