First and foremost, I am a mom to my precious 2 year old son, Jonah. He is the light of my life and my constant reminder about how miraculous and wonderful the world can be, when we open our hearts. He is my greatest gift and teaches me something new everyday. He opens my eyes to new possibilities and encourages me to enjoy life to its fullest. He reminds me not to take life so seriously and to have fun! But, most importantly he has taught me about unconditional love.

It is my goal to be as optimally healthy as I possibly can be so I can watch my family grow throughout the years. And, during that journey I hope to help others find the same light.

A little background about me: I trained, performed, and taught Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, and Tap in the DC metro area, New York City, and in Florida. Prior to college I trained at Maryland Youth Ballet, Joy of Motion, Musical Theatre Center and Motion Mania. During my tenure as a performer I was apart of special performances including: dancing with the Washington Redskinettes, performing at the White House, the Kennedy Center, and Carnival Cruise Lines.

I studied dance at Towson University and performed with the Towson University Dance Company. Post graduation, I danced with Motion Mania Dance Theatre and taught a plethora of classes to adults, young adults and children. I then moved to New York City where dancing and fitness led me to Pilates. I absolutely fell in love with the mind body workout and systematic approach that Pilates has to offer. This is where my training began with Pilates Academy International and currently with Power Pilates and Pilates Method Alliance. I taught several Pilates, Group Fitness, and Dance-based classes at the popular Crunch gym in the heart of Manhattan.

When I lived in NYC I was enjoying the single life and decided to take an adventurous trip to Israel with a group of 40 strangers. There were 33 women and 7 men…not exactly exciting odds for a single gal. But, with a twist of fate, I ended up falling in love with and marrying one of my trip mates. And, the fact that he lived in Florida and I lived In NYC wasn’t even an issue because, coincidentally, he and his buddies were planning to move to NYC shortly after our excursion. Long story short, we married and moved to Florida where we started a family and our journey to health and wellness got deeper.

When my husband and I first moved to Florida, I was the Dance Director at North Broward Preparatory School in Coconut Creek. I then decided to combine my love for Pilates and Dance by teaching Pilates Apparatus, Pilates Mat and Xtend Barre (ballet barre) classes. I am now a Teacher Trainer for Xtend Barre, I teach Master Classes for Pilates, Lecture on Health and Wellness and coach nationally.

When I realized I could overcome my severe acid reflux without medication I began obsessively learning about food, nutrition and it’s affects on our digestive health. This all came about when my son was born and I cut gluten and dairy from my diet in an attempt to soothe my son. I was breastfeeding and noticed a massive improvement in Jonah’s behavior. Giving up my beloved cheese wasn’t easy, but I would have done anything to make my son stop crying! And, to boot my reflux lessened dramatically once I eliminated these two offenders. This sparked even more interest in furthering my research on the effects of food and well being.

So, I broadened my education to include health and wellness. I am currently studying with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach.

In the midst of it all, I started making Energy Balls as snacks for my husband and me. When my clients asked if they could buy my balls, lol, I decided to start a business. As a result, I am also the Chief Energy Officer and Co-Founder of Make Raw Not War Energy a company that sells Organic, Gluten Free and Vegan Energy Balls made from dried fruits, nuts and seeds. The company was founded in 2013 as a solution to healthy snacking. For more info visit us at www.MakeRawNotWarEnergy.com

I have a passion for helping people overcome illness, improve lifestyle, and transform their lives simply by changing habits. And, I am so excited to embark on this new journey of HEalth, WEalth, LOve and HAppiness www.HeWeLoHa.com with my partner in crime, partner in life, best friend and HeWe LoHa co-founder Lance. I hope to help heal you from the inside out and to encourage you and your family to live the life you were meant to live!

HeWeLoHa,
