Hi, I am Trista Jourdan and I have been in the health & science field for over 20 years. I was going to college to be a registered nurse when I started my fitness career 15 years ago. I have always been huge into sports and fitness and would spend a lot of time reading about it.
When I was 21 I was diagnosed with Spondoylthesis(a spinal disorder where the vertebra are slipped forward). My doctors suggested a fusion surgery but I was determined to put that off for as long as possible and choose to do physical therapy instead. At the time it was so bad that I couldn't stand or walk for longer than 5 minutes, I couldn't work, was on a ton of medication and I had to have someone help me take a bath. With therapy and time I was able to get back on my feet and go back to work.
I went on to have my 1st baby and taking care of myself was a huge priority. Then my second pregnancy my son was sitting weird on my spine, causing me to be in pain and uncomfortable for most of the pregnancy and let's just be honest here; I was over eating and just trying to enjoy the pregnant life. This resulted in my weight being at 206lbs at the end of the pregnancy(180lbs 3 months post pregnancy). I was in a lot of pain and struggled to get comfortable daily.
I joined a gym and worked on strengthening my back with what I learned from therapy. I felt so good and became addicted to fitness and nutrition. I decided first that I would never allow myself to feel that way ever again and then I set out on a mission to help others feel better too!
I am now a mother of 4 and have 1 foster kid as well. I have made taking care of my well-being a priority for my kids. A happy mama equals a happy family. I am on a mission to help other mama's and women tap into there higher self and become everything they want to be and more. Click my "Join a program" button to get started!
