Imagine being on a beach vacation in the Maldives with your man & eating a burger in a bikini, GUILT FREE and still having your dream body!👙

✨Yes… it IS possible!✨

Listen up my queens! I know you are ready to level up your physique and your mindset around food and your body so hard that you become physically and mentally unrecognizable!

Let’s be so real right now.. you’re already busting your butt. You’ve been hyper-fixating on your body and trying to get your body right. You’re hitting the gym, you’re trying out the different diet plans, and maybe you’re even saying no to dessert. You’re trying really hard and the effort is there, but that dream of losing fat, building a perky booty, waking up with no back and shoulder pain, and walking around feeling like the confident, strong queen that you know you are? It still feels out of reach.

Here’s the tea sis… it’s not you, it’s the all-or-nothing mindset that’s got you feeling stuck. You may even have some unaddressed ADHD symptoms or self-critical thoughts that are fueling this fire. Which means, you’ve probably struggled with either being all in, measuring every ounce of food and working out every single day or 2x a day.. or you’ve “fallen off the wagon,” and are binge eating pizza and ice cream while binge-watching Netflix and thinking… “I’ll just start over again on Monday…” Sound familiar?

That is exactly where my clients were when they came to me, but guess what? THEY BROKE FREE, and you can too! YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! This is why I’m here, to help you get the results you’ve been dying to get.

Imagine this…

It’s a random Tuesday night, and your girlfriends or your man asks you to go out to eat at your favorite restaurant that has your favorite pasta. You have a beach vacation coming up in a week, and you are not stressed at all about wearing your bikini, because you know that carbs aren’t bad for you and enjoying your favorite pasta dish isn’t going to ruin your will to take your cover up off. This is not some far fetched fantasy… this is what really happens for my clients when they ditch the perfectionist mindset and redefine what a fitness journey means to them with new rules and less restrictions. Yes, I’m serious. LESS restriction and MORE results.

Here’s how we do it…

When you work with me, you get a plan built around YOU, your life, your schedule, your favorite foods, your gym set up, and your specific anatomy and strengths and weaknesses in your body. Together, we will be tackling the “all-or-nothing” mindset and all of the mental blocks keeping you stuck, and we will be finding your specific sweet spot where you can enjoy your life AND crush your goals. No more starting over and no more feeling guilting for not hitting your plan perfectly.

But let me be clear…

This is not just about building a body you love. This is also about raising your standards for yourself and becoming the confident baddie that you know you can be by pouring into yourself.

You’re reading this now because you are READY and willing to take the next steps towards reaching your dream body. You have the work ethic, you just need the guidance and accountability to point your efforts in the right direction. I know you’re going to do what it takes to get there, and together we will get you there faster. Book your discovery call below and let’s get started!

Client Testimonials

“And I'm loving how I'm starting to look in dresses I just want to keep saying Thank you! I Don't feel much of a clothes hanger when wearing them anymore!”

— Andrea H.

“I had the best experience with Emily! I always wanted to be devoted to working out, but I didn’t know where to start. After just one month, I noticed a big difference in how I felt and looked. Emily pushed me harder than I ever pushed myself and it was so satisfying to see myself progress up in weights and repetitions in my sessions. Emily also helped me with counting my macros and broadened my diet to much healthier foods. I grew so much during my six months of training and I thank Emily for kick starting my addiction to fitness!”

— Brittany L.

“I’m so proud of myself. I’ve lost 20 pounds since my highest in November. And I’m so happy that I’m doing this a healthy way.”

— Courtney A.

“At first I was frustrated with how slow everything was going but I realized that even when the gyms were closed and things were stressful I didn’t gain back a single pound. I kept maintaining and steadily losing while gaining so much strength. I also have been finding recipes that would allow me to eat what I enjoy while still hitting those macros 🤩. I have gained so much knowledge along with mental growth, and growing out of that mentality of being afraid of carbs. I can’t wait to see where I am mentally and physically in a year with your coaching!!!🙆🏾‍♀️”

— Gabby B.

“Working with Em has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Her guidance has completely transformed the way I view working out and living a healthy lifestyle. Before Em, I thought “healthy” meant pushing myself to the limit, often leading to injuries and burnout. Now, I’ve learned to work out pain-free while building healthy habits that feel natural and sustainable.

Em has taught me the importance of being kind to myself. She’s shown me how to prioritize proper posture, breathing, and stretching—elements I used to overlook. Thanks to her, working out has become something I truly enjoy and a consistent part of my life.

One of the things I value most about Em is her ability to tailor workouts to my needs. She ensures I avoid movements that could aggravate my shoulder, while still encouraging me to push myself. She helps me set realistic goals and explains why certain changes or additions to my workouts may or may not be beneficial.

With Em’s support, I’ve grown stronger, healthier, and more confident in my fitness journey. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to make real, lasting changes in their life.”

— Lupita A.

“I’ve been working with Emily for a while now and it’s been awesome! I wanted to do 30MIN sessions and she tailored them to grow with me! I’ve lost 30lbs in 4 months with her guidance on nutrition, intuitive eating, and the customized workout plans she put together for me weekly! I love that she keeps our sessions interesting and the intensity high so I get the most out of that 30 minutes (I’m always sweaty and thoroughly spent after!) She’s proven to me that you don’t have to spend all day in the gym to get results.”

— Lauren G.

“Before I began working with Emily, I was overweight, lacking confidence and struggling. It wasn’t until she began training me to where I learned the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Each day I worked with her I had new health questions and she was always readily equipped with answers and a great workout that always had me drenched in sweat. In one year I’ve had so much progress;  lost 20+ pounds, decreased my mile from a 13 minutes to 9, lift doubled the amount of weight from the beginning, learned to enjoy burpees and become stronger than my own boyfriend (proven from a time she gave us a training together) who she now trains. 10/10 recommended!!”

— Celissa P.

Physical transformation just 1.5 months into working with me and she is eating MORE food now! This is because achieving the body you want doesn’t always mean eat less and move more and have the scale go down. The body you want is probably going to be a body that weighs more than you think, eats more than you think, and is a lot stronger than you think you’re capable of.

“Ok so I have had a lot of wins this week. First off last Sunday my quads were the same size!!! Second I noticed yesterday that you can start to see the curve of my deltoid! Definition slowing peeking out! And we went bowling with the kiddos. I have never been able to bowl underhand due to weak wrists and grip and I can now! With no pain. I'm very excited about this because it really means I'm gaining functional strength.”

— Hannah P.

My Fitness Journey

Starting my fitness journey, it was only about weight loss, but that was never truly satisfying.

Being able to lift my body weight with good form and feel strong and pain free is so much more rewarding.

Not to mention I weigh at least 20 lbs more now, but I like my body so much more from the muscles and curves I’ve build for myself.

I have taken the Pain-Free Performance Specialist course and attended the live, in-person event in order to get down to the nitty gritty of form and building a strong pillar (your shoulders, hips & core) in order to be able to move better and with less pain.

Taking this course has helped my form and ability to do push-ups and pull-ups and also helps me identify and correct my client’s weak areas and imbalanced and build customized programming around those areas to have their weaknesses become their strengths.

I started my fitness journey like most 90’s babies.. obsessed with losing weight and having toxic diet culture shoved down my throat. I was also surrounded by men who shamed women with muscle. I was eating the 100 calorie packs from WW thinking it was healthy… LOL. After I went through a big breakup during Covid (and dealing with the stress of Covid), all of my old methods weren’t helping keep my weight down. My body was fighting back (and I thank God every day for that). I came to realize that I wasn’t in fact healthy like I thought I was. This is when I began my journey of not caring what the scale said and healing my relationship with food and the scale and my body. My once thin and stringy hair came back so thick (still not as thick as it once was, but we’re getting there). This was from a combination of eating more in general, eating more protein, prioritizing healthy fats, and limiting the amount of heat I use on my hair. This is my favorite non-scale victory, and that is what I get my clients to focus on. My other non-scale victory that I’m really excited about is how I am way less cold than I used to be (temperature wise…lol)! Even visiting my parents in the middle of winter in Michigan, I used to be so cold, but now that I have more muscle and some healthy body fat, and my resting metabolism has increased and I don’t feel as cold or need as many layers and blankets. This also means I burn more calories at rest, so I can eat MORE!

I used to have extreme upper back pain. It was a combination of being a nerd and always hunched over studying or working, as well as neglecting my posture and back exercises.

When I started focusing on doing the right type of exercises and stretches to fix my Upper Cross Syndrome and fix the imbalances side to side, I was able to finally do push-ups and pull-ups.

My back is in way less pain now, and I don’t feel the need to go to get a massage as often (although I still go because I love them, I no longer have so much pain that I HAVE to go).

I weighed about 120 lbs in the first photo and couldn’t do body weight pull-ups. Right now I weigh around 140-150 lbs (I haven’t actually weighed myself in a while) and I can lift my bodyweight for multiple reps!

I weigh about the same now as I did when I only wanted to lose weight (the first photo).

In the first photo, I was an avid cross country runner, running at least 2-10 miles a day. I also had a bad relationship with food where I would eat healthy, but then overdo it on sweets and treats and I had no control.

In the middle picture, I was lifting weights, but I wasn’t gaining muscle because I was too restrictive with my food and only focused on weight loss and not overall health.

In the last photo (me now), I am focused on strength, health, mindfully eating in a balanced a non-restrictive way, moving my body in an optimal and pain-free way, and being a confident baddie.

I’ve learned so much through my trials and errors, which is why I coach other women, so I can help them bypass those trials and errors and quantum leap into their dream body with a healthy mindset and a healthy relationship with the scale and their body.

I was a cardio girl in the first photo, but I lacked the definition I wanted. I thought losing weight would solve the problem.

Turns out, it didn’t! I didn’t have firm curves, my hair was thinning, and I still felt insecure about my body. I used to step on the scale multiple times per day and let the scale dictate my mood and what I would eat that day. It was draining my energy.

Flash forward to now, I haven’t stepped on the scale in 3 months, and I really only go on the scale when it’s the InBody scale and it’s measuring my body fat percentage as well. I eat whole foods and lots of protein, but I also eat some cookies and ice cream because I like it. Now that I don’t give myself any restrictions on food, I have zero desire to overeat, because I never feel like I’m having a cheat day, and I hate the feeling of not feeling good after I eat.

I help my clients overcome their limiting beliefs around food and fitness and the scale & help them feel at ease with eating a holiday events and going on date nights and girls nights out.
