I am a health and fitness coach with Traver Wellness. I have been coaching since January 2018. I am also a mom of 3 boys, a wife (we have been together since October 2010 and married to him since June 2013), and a part-time administrative assistant. We live in a small town about 1 hour southwest of Minneapolis and even though I grew up in the cities I love it out here! I have a passion for helping people to become the best version of themselves and to live a healthier lifestyle!
