Michelle Jarvis
I have always loved being active and doing my best to live a healthy lifestly. Overtime that translated to being proactive about my metal, physical and nutritional health. I knew I loved helping others, and wanted to encourage them to live their best lives. I have a B.S. in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Exercise and Wellness.
I had actually planned to do dental hygiene and decided that was not really something I would feel satisfied doing. I thought long and hard about my passions: physical health, mental health, and helping others. I was not sure exactly what I wanted to do with this, but I instantly fell in love with the idea of the wellness industry and wanted to continue learning, growing and helping others do the same.

Plan ahead, but always allow yourself some grace! If you can plan ahead, you will set yourself up for success (schedule out must do items for your day–with flexibility, set exercise clothes out the night before, write out your weekly meals).

As a working mom, it can be challenging to dedicate lots of time to fitness, so I am all about quick and effective workouts. My daily workouts consist of strength mixed with Plyo or HIIT.
