About Me

Hi friends!! I’m Joy!

I love food ya'll. And I hope that’s why you’re here too! :) It's the essence of life! It fuels your body, makes you happy, and brings you closer to people. Equally, I love my body and the confidence it can bring. Therefore, one must find BALANCE, right?!

My "balance" came over seven years ago when I decided to take control of my decisions and be better-for myself. I was a frazzled, stressed teacher who found myself  in a rut of always eating for comfort. My digestive system suffered, along with my confidence, and zest for life. I knew I needed a change to better honor my body and the Lord. SO-  I set out on a MISSION through this process to find meals that were HEALTHY and DELICIOUS! I discovered a love for cooking, overall health, and a happy LIFESTYLE.   Now I'm a full time online health & fitness coach and Certified nutrition specialist.  I want all the feel goods for you too!

Losing over 50 lbs. was a learning process-just like all things in life. We don't know everything all at once when we're growing up, earning a degree, or training for a new job. We have to be faithful to the process. 

In my fitness journey, I have learned that the balance comes through the FAILURES (paired with successes), consistently challenging yourself, and always allowing yourself enough grace to start over the next day. This...is life!

My goal is to MOTIVATE you and give you the best TOOLS for a healthy, BALANCED life. ENJOY your food, be happy, and look dang-good doing it!!
