Personal Mantra “Stronger than Yesterday, Better for Tomorrow”
From being an athlete her whole life, once Christa found CrossFit it helped fulfill her natural competitive drive. Through years of trial-and-error in nutrition, aimed at originally getting off medication, Christa became deeply passionate about the holistic impact that nutrition and lifestyle changes can have in the pursuit of one’s goals.
When she tore her hamstring in gymnastics, it forced her into a sedentary lifestyle. As she maintained the same teenage eating/drinking habits she experienced substantial weight gain, body image issues, and heightened her diagnosed severe acid reflux. Regularly taking a prescribed 8 pills a day as the “solution,” and using yo-yo diet approaches, this “perfect storm” caused her to seek out alternative methods.
Her curiosity grew as she learned about the impact that nutrition can have on our well-being, and used this knowledge to become medication-free. This holistic approach to problem-solving and maximizing overall health led her to seek out a degree in Occupational Therapy. She loves using this unique perspective to help her recognize the individual factors of her nutrition clients to help reach their goals.
With now shifting her goals towards achieving high levels of fitness and competition, Christa learned first-hand that proper fueling is critical. Her experiences have made her deeply passionate about helping to educate and empower others to optimize their potential in pursuit of whatever their goals are.
