I am grateful to share with you my journey, my vision, and my formula for life. Thank you for having a vested interest in your own health, your wellness, enhancing your life, and ultimately, influencing those around you as well. I feel fortunate you are taking the time to read my manifesto. I give back to you with gratitude the two industries responsible for changing my life: pilates + organic juice. It is fair to say both pilates + juice entered my life organically. Born and raised within the farmlands Central California, I grew up with gardens of tomato, mint, watermelon, squash, and peppers, as well as trees of peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, nectarines, almonds, and the freshest honeycomb honey. This is where my green thumb came in, I have my family to thank for that! I sprouted quickly, standing the tallest in my class, I proved back handsprings and ballet does not always stunt one’s growth. Pre-college, I focused on the sports where my height gave me an advantage. My stature helped me excel in volleyball, basketball, and swimming. All the team sports assisted in melting off that “baby fat,” and I was determined to be Fit.
