We humans don’t like change. Why? Simply put the comfort of victimhood. Are you a victim?

When human beings come face to face with change, fear is the main reason why people resist it: fear of failure, fear of the unknown and fear of being blamed for not changing earlier. My greatest passion is guiding people through changes. Focusing my work on the individual level enabling people to create a myriad of personal changes, in turn impacting their businesses. I help my clients, who include athletes, executives, project managers, stay at home moms, and Fortune 500 corporations, find a healthy way to navigate out of the comfort of victimhood and into

There is one change curve, but I know that no single approach will work for every individual. So I have been trained in a range of modalities including the study of human behavior, personal training, organizational change management, sports psychology, social cognitive theory, self-efficacy, transtheoretical stages of change model, and the theory of reasoned action.

My education includes a MS in HRD from the University of Houston. I have a B.A. from the University of St. Thomas and I am currently finishing my graduate certificate in sports psychology from CALU in Pennsylvania. I am the co-author of Steel Therapy and will soon release my 2nd book on change.

In addition to being a coach and personal trainer, I compete in CrossFit. A series of events from abuse to a death of a close friend turned my personal and professional life upside down 4 years ago, leaving me to question my ability to go on. I took control and lost 117 pounds. I did it the old fashioned way riding the change curve, support from my trainer, and facing fear until I came out on top. My trainer, friend and co-author and I founded Tyde Mind & Body in 2015 with a mission of enabling people to put health and fitness first by Making Their Health a Habit. In 2017, I launched my coaching and consulting business centered around help others navigate change and achieving success.

I know the seduction of victimhood and I also know the destruction. I know the demons that hold court there, but I also know how to get out of that place.
