MY STORY

Reflecting on my journey, it’s difficult to pinpoint a single moment when I realized my calling to help others—it’s simply ingrained in who I am. Coaching has been my natural inclination for as long as I can remember, shaping what I believe is my destiny.

In 2011, my father lost his battle with brain cancer at the age of 58 & it became a profound turning point in my mission to empower women to live their best lives. As a personal trainer for five years, I witnessed the desperate need for a health transformation among women who, despite their selfless dedication, found themselves miserable, uncomfortable, and grappling with health crises.

The impact wasn’t just personal but extended to their children, spouses, and families.

This experience fueled my commitment to empowering these women to reclaim their lives. I wanted to ensure that, regardless of life’s uncertainties, they could radiate confidence and lead lives they are proud of—lives where they NOT ONLY SURVIVE but THRIVE. I set out to show them that living their best life, filled with energy to enjoy time with their loved ones and walk with confidence, is not just possible but deserved.

Life is unpredictable - let’s strive to seize every opportunity to embrace feeling our best TODAY!

MY STORY

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND

MY BACKGROUND

I might be the unconventional one – the college-goer who’s actually working in the field she studied. Sounds a bit rare, doesn’t it? Back when I started, I had no clue about my academic path. School wasn’t exactly my forte, but I had a passion for staying active. A chance injury taping course at the community college, aimed at enhancing my skills as a cheer coach, became my turning point. That’s when I realized I wanted to delve deeper into this field.

Fast forward to today, and I proudly hold a degree in Kinesiology with a focus on athletic training from Cal State Fullerton. Over the years, I’ve gone above and beyond, stacking up certifications from NASM, pre & post-natal training, kettlebell, TRX, Precision Nutrition, and, most recently, becoming a certified mindset & life coach, along with expertise in essential oils. My journey is anything but typical, and I’m here to bring that unique blend of knowledge and passion to empower others.

OUTSIDE OF WORK, YOU’LL CATCH ME ENTHUSIASTICALLY

cheering for my kids at their sporting events, taking leisurely walks with my dogs, caring for my chickens, exploring the wonders of gardening, trying my hand at making sourdough, or just kicking back on the lake with my husband.

I CHERISH A REJUVENATING

IT MIGHT BE A BIT SURPRISING…

but working out isn’t exactly my favorite thing. With life being so crazy busy, finding the time and motivation can be a real struggle. Even though I’ve been at it for years, just like you, squeezing in a workout can be a challenge. The one thing that keeps me going is knowing how awesome I am going to feel after.

Have you ever pondered the significance of JEM?

It’s more than just initials; it’s a profound symbol of the cherished bond I shared with my father. From the moment he chose those letters for me at birth, they became a constant source of inspiration and connection throughout my life. As I envisioned my business and brand, I purposefully integrated JEM, turning them into a powerful reminder. They serve as a driving force, keeping my father’s spirit close and fueling the passion that propels me to inspire women to embrace life fully. Through JEM, I aim to convey the profound message that life is a precious gem meant to be lived to the fullest, encouraging women to shine brightly in their unique brilliance.
