Hello, I'm Tameka

My Mission:

I want others to feel passionate about their health and be able to really consider why they want to make changes and who they truly want to become. I have found my passion in being a Certified Nutrition Consultant and I cannot wait to assist others with feeling and looking their best.

Changing my habits and creating a lifestyle that allows me to enjoy food and be healthy has not only transformed my body and my life but has allowed me to have self-confidence and love myself along every step in my journey.  I am so excited to work with women and men who have struggled with looking in the mirror and being happy with their reflection.  Healthy living saved my life, and it can save yours, too!

I am now a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Life Coach (PN2, BNC, Pn1, and BHC) and I provide a client-centered, one-on-one experience, either in person or online, that helps others like me change their health and build their confidence. My goal is to provide knowledge, kindness and a sense of belonging to ensure that this lifestyle change is one that makes a positive impact on your life and allows you to reach any goal that you have.

My mission is to teach others to love themselves, make their health a priority and then transform their bodies in a way that is sustainable and fun.

About Me:

I am a mom, a military veteran, military wife, and a fighter who has overcome both PCOS and cervical cancer.

Like many women, my struggle with weight and dieting started early on, and my eating patterns were disordered.  I was just 20 years old when I did my first “crash diet” to meet the weight requirement for the Army. Eating at a large calorie deficit and starving myself helped me get into the Army, but it was not sustainable.  

In Basic Training I simply didn’t have time to eat and was working out heavily.  It helped me get down to a low weight and body fat percentage, but as soon as I stopped exercising as much, the weight just seemed to pile back on.  After an ankle injury I was sidelined and my weight began to skyrocket.

 At this point, my menstrual cycle was all over the place, and I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome - PCOS.  At the same time the doctor gave me the hard news that I ALSO had cervical cancer.  The doctor was shocked and so was I.  I had just celebrated my 21st birthday. After a partial removal of my cervix I was also prescribed Metformin which caused me to gain a lot of weight. 

After a long journey including a miracle pregnancy and the birth of my son, I researched many diets and decided that I needed to change my habits and relationship with food, and I went ALL in!  This was my solution to eating in a way that makes me feel good, lose weight, and never feel like I am starving myself.  In less than a year I was down below my pre-pregnancy weight, and my menstrual cycle has greatly improved. 

My healthy lifestyle has been a work in progress, but it has been a journey full of learning and many great opportunities to learn how to make my health fit my life without feeling like I am so restricted that I can’t enjoy life. Two years after having my son, I was blessed with a second pregnancy that I was told would never happen. I continued my healthy lifestyle (as much as I could) while pregnant with my daughter. After her birth, I made it my mission to ensure that I was as healthy as possible for both of my kids. They became a huge part of my WHY and they have continued to motivate me.

I want others to feel passionate about their health and be able to really consider why they want to make changes and who they truly want to become. I have found my passion in being a health and life coach and I cannot wait to assist others with feeling and looking their best.
