THE MISSION
My mission is to bring a new way of life to military professionals and families by helping to incorporate multiple domains of wellness into one’s lifestyle including physical fitness, nutrition, and mental and emotional wellbeing. I strive to enhance the quality of life in my clients and instilling the value of health and wellness. My personal philosophy acknowledges that each individual is comprised of mind, body, and spirit, and that these components make up one’s total wellness or what I like to call “holistic fitness”.

VALUES OF FORWARD EDGE
Respect I value my clients and their effort to keep showing up for themselves. I respect all of my clients well-being, their goals, and their individuality. You will be treated as a top priority at all times.
Accountability I hold all of my clients accountable by receiving objective, subjective, and biometric data.
