Are you a successful, intelligent woman who has embarked on countless diets and exercise regimens, only to find yourself back where you started? Are you tired of feeling trapped in a cycle of weight gain and loss, struggling with shame and guilt in a world that often equates self-worth with a number on a scale?

At Harmonious Habits, we realize that weight loss and maintenance are more about what we have in our brain than what we have on our plates.

About the founder

If you met me 10 years ago, you'd have met a person who weighted 280 lbs. I now weight less than half that, and I did it with no weight loss surgery, no drugs, and no special supplements.

Friends and co-workers who saw my transformation started asking me, "What's your secret?" At first I enthusiastically told them about apps I use to track calories and exercise. But they always brushed those answers aside, insisting that I tell them my REAL secret.

At first I was frustrated. I WAS telling them my secrets! A friend finally told me, "Dieting and exercise - everyone tries that, and it doesn't work very well for most people. How come it works for you?"

After a lot of reflection, I finally figured it out. My "secret" is that my transformation wasn't just about weight, nutrition, and exercise. It was about making me the best version of me that I could.

In fact, it wasn't the first time I'd lost a lot of weight. I accomplished a similar goal when I was in my early 20s. I kept it off for about three years, but then it started coming back. Why?

I didn't realize it at the time, but my first weight loss had been all about nutrition and exercise - nothing more. I never addressed the reasons I used food the way I did. I never dealt with the emotional and psychological side of things.

To be successful at weight loss and maintenance, I had to use mindfulness and self-compassion to completely rebuild my relationship with my body, food, and exercise. It did it, and you can too!

Here's how I can help you....

Get to know me, quiz style....

Throughout my weight loss journey, I encountered challenges and obstacles. But two of my strengths are a constant growth mindset and my faith.

I relied on these two things to develop an army of "life hacks." I realized early on that if I wanted my changes to last, I needed to make myself enjoy not just the results, but the process itself.

My goal is to share what I've developed. I want to take you from hating your diet and workout and hating yourself for needing them to loving yourself and your lifestyle!

One of my biggest challenges was maintaining my motivation.
