About me
You don’t need more willpower. You need a smarter plan.
Hi, I’m Margaret — certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, mobility specialist, mom of three, and former overtrainer & undereater who thought she had to shrink to succeed...
If you’re stuck doing all the things — under-eating, overtraining, running on fumes — and still not seeing results, I see you.
Because I was you.
My story? It’s probably a lot like yours.
Overweight from 2nd grade on, I learned to believe that losing weight meant eating less and moving more. I started my first diet at 8 years old. In high school, I started doing all the things:
Ran miles every day
Lived off salads and low-fat everything
Often went days without eating
Felt guilty if I missed a workout
Abused diet pills
Fad diets, HIIT workouts, you name it, I tried it
And I never got lean… but I was always tired, inflamed, and stuck. The worst part? I thought it was my fault.
I just needed to try harder, push more, eat even less.
What I didn’t know at the time was that I had driven my metabolism into the ground.
The reset I didn’t know I needed
Everything changed when I started lifting heavy, eating more, and giving my body what it actually needed — not what diet culture told me it should want.
Now I help others do the same.
If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building something sustainable, I can help you reset — without starving, overtraining, or burning out.
