I just wanted to lose the baby weight…
And accidentally found the secret to strength, confidence and self-love
How it started…Circa 2012
This whole journey started because I just wanted to lose the baby weight.
I had my son in my 30s, and recovery was nothing like it was after my daughter in my 20s. I felt stuck in a body that didn’t feel like mine and desperate to ‘fix’ it.
Friends were doing “Insanity” workouts. I figured I felt insane, so it might work. Until one day, mid-jumping lunge, trying to make my baby laugh… I dislocated my knee.
I was furious. So I Googled… “How to lose weight without hurting your knee.”
That’s when I found Bodybuilding.com and I was in awe. I had no idea women could be that strong. And I needed to know how.
Then I Googled “bodybuilding coach near me” and found one just 10 miles away. I didn’t have a gym membership, didn’t know what I was doing, and I was broke. But I had a Walmart nearby. So, I bought some weights, set up in my garage, and started working out in my ex-husband’s boxers.
And the rest?
Is history.
I competed multiple times a year for five years and went became a Figure Pro in 2015.
When I tell you I get it… please believe me—I get it.
And I did it as a single, working mom.
This journey taught me a lot.
I came to know my body in a meaningful way that made me curious to know more.
The quality of my life transformed the healthier I became.
And I became committed to teaching my kids early what I was learning late…
How to take care of their body.
That’s how I became Natural Fit Mom.
And our lives have never been the same.
What if your comeback isn’t behind you… but right in front of you?
I created The Body Ministry™ for women like us…who are doing everything and just want something that works.
You don’t need another restrictive plan or perfect routine.
You need a system that honors your life, your energy, and your evolution as a mother.
This is where real structure meets real life.
Where wellness becomes second nature.
Where your health fuels your purpose…instead of draining you.
My Gift to you…

Natural Fit Kids! Let's Play! (Meet Micah & Josh)
I created Natural Fit Kids because I couldn’t find a coloring book that was affordable, educational, and reflected my children—Black and brown kids who deserve to see themselves in wellness.
As a mom on my own fitness journey, I wanted my kids to grow up seeing health as normal and fun. So I created a coloring book using their real nicknames, Savannah Banana and Apple Jax, filled with play, healthy recipes, and movement-based activities.
Later, I expanded the series with new characters, Micah and Josh, inspired by my clients’ kids. Their book focuses on indoor and outdoor play to help kids build a joyful connection to movement.
I believe it’s important to normalize to healthy behaviors to our children. Every child deserves to know they can be a healthy fit kid too.
This isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about moving forward…feeling confident, supported, and strong in the body you live in.
