Greetings!

My name is Diane.

I am a NBC-HWC Health Coach and NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I worked in the beauty industry as a cosmetologist for many years before I entered the field of fitness and Health Coaching. I believe beauty for everyone begins internally. I discovered that people need more than just the quick fix of outward beauty treatments. While I recognize the importance of external beauty and cosmetic care, I also recognize that the good feelings and the positive self-esteem associated with them are temporary and fleeting. I believe the root cause of our feeling “ugly” is because there are other things going on within ourselves. We all need a healthy body, mind and Spirit! They are interrelated. I know this core principle to be true because I have lived it and came to realize that these three things are inextricably intertwined.

I understand how difficult it can be to move beyond focusing on physical health. I faced this challenge myself and began breaking through this barrier in my own life at the age of 20, when I witnessed the horrific effects of cancer on my mother, who ultimately lost her battle against cancer at the early age of 45. I wish I knew then, what I know now. I could have helped her achieve better health. This experience has moved me to take positive action and utilize the knowledge I have gained over the years to help others who face similar challenges. The loving memory of my mother and deep concern for the health of those around me propels and motivates me every day in this endeavor.

I have faced many of my own health challenges including neck surgery and a full hysterectomy in my mid 40’s that put me into instant early menopause. Shortly after, I discovered I had an under active thyroid, which put twenty pounds into my midsection and caused depression. Between the weight gain and imbalance of hormones, I was miserable and faced with the challenge of getting the weight off and having to regain my strength and peace of mind. All of these challenges taught me a lot about how incredible and resilient the human body is, with its amazing ability to heal and bounce back. Through persistence, commitment, and good nutrition, along with the help of physical therapy and personal training, I strengthened my neck and lost the weight I previously gained. I have energy and I feel good. This is precisely why I became a health coach and personal trainer.

Through my triumphs over personal adversities, I have discovered an intense passion to help others break through their own obstacles.

I know how hard life can be and I have learned that even though there are so many seasons where life can be challenging, there is hope. My hope comes from my faith in God. I have also learned over the years how important our thought life is, our thoughts can have a positive or negative effect on our body. There are many studies that prove this to be true.

I am intentional about having a growth mindset. No matter how healthy we think we are, there is always something to be learned. I appreciate the value of accountability and community; they both help me achieve more than I think I can and help fuel my passion to coach others.

The impact of one changed life will leave behind an influence for good that will reach the lives of many others, "Creating a ripple effect!"

"Every single thought and every single action creates a ripple effect."
