I’m Monica and this is how I got my Moxie.

Being diagnosed with debilitating illnesses makes me take my health seriously, mind, body and soul. I started spending time in and out of hospitals. I lost careers and aspirations, It really started weighing on my mental, my livelihood and my relationships. Stress will wreak havoc on you. It will throw your hormones out of order and keep you in a chronic state of “fight or flight.” For years, each hospital visit threatened to take something I held dear,. my eyesight, my mobility. It always seemed to come out not the same. I was not well. I went from working full time to. That punches you right in the gut.

My last major flare kept me in the hospital then rehab for weeks. Luckily, I recovered but I remembered that my neurologist told me that it would have been worse if I had not made fitness and movement a priority.

So, I amped up health and self-help book reading, library visits, online webinars and courses because I knew my health and quality of life depended on it. I did the work. After completing my Wellness Coach and Silver Sneakers Instructor certification, it was a win-win for helping myself and others.

Despite it all I’ve been building my Moxie.

I am excited for my purpose and honored to help others reach their goals and build long lasting sustainable habits in life.

Ever been sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Of course you have. Me too. Literally.

From Surviving Illness to Supporting Sustainable Wellness

My journey taught me that health is not optional and wellness must be built across mind, body, and soul.
