Marie Jones-Watts

I strive to empower others throughout their wellness journey by being an example of someone who can overcome unhealthy generational health habits. Not only am I available to work with you on the physical level, I will also advise & walk alongside you to explore areas in your life that impact your overall health and wellness goals. Together, we explore areas that get to the core of why you fall back into the same patterns & habits that do not benefit your overall health and wellness. During my childhood, I watched, helpless, as my father battled diabetes. During the same time, I constantly heard the message from family members and friends, "you're bigger than your mother". My internalization of that statement contributed to low self-esteem and poor body image. I also knew that if I did not change my eating habits, & being an overweight young woman, I would end up battling diabetes, like my father & his family. One day, as I looked in the mirror, I became angry at who was looking back at me and said "THAT'S ENOUGH!". That is when I joined a gym and discovered the benefits of being active & healthy nutrition.
