For those who don’t know me, my name is Ms. Mary. I’m a true California Girl and I love to travel. Growing up I became an obese teen, which spilled over into my early adult years. As I went through my parents divorce, college, and a few lazy and selfish boyfriends my weight rose to a whopping 300+ pounds. It got so bad that I stopped taking pictures, shopping, and hanging out with my friends. I spent countless hours hiding in my apartment hiding from the world, and hiding from myself. Until one day I realized I was hiding from my life. It was passing me by and I had nothing to show for it. No experiences, no real true love, no excitement. So, I decided to make a change, a real change, a life change. I realized my weight was physically, mentally, and spiritually holding me back. I wanted to live, but where should I start?

 I decided I would create a personalized weight loss self-empowerment program. I wanted real change, not a fad diet or a quick fix.  I named my program Baby Steps. My Baby Steps created small changes that turned into big changes, which in-turn changed my life. Within a year I was successful at losing over 100+ pounds; but that was only the beginning of my journey. I started reciting self-affirmations, meditation became an every day occurrence, and I started writing a book about my experiences.

My mission is to let people to know that you can change; you can create the life you always longed for. I am currently working as a traveling personal trainer, and lifestyle coach. My goal is to address teen obesity, and inspire and help anyone that wants to listen. I look forward to expanding my friend bank, making a difference, and touching as many lives as possible.
