Growing up, Tabitha had several influences to stay healthy - Her father, as a physicians assistant, and her mother, who struggles with cardiac conditions, to name a few - so it has always been important for her to stay healthy. In high school, she started her first weight loss journey so she could compete in cross country. She continued running, swimming and exercising ever since. She loves helping people achieve their goals from running in a new race to competing in shows to even just get healthy for life. Her passion for health started when she was a single foster mom working with teenage girls, seeing the need for health and wellness in the system, and how it helps with depression, weight loss, and life success. This also led into her other goal of helping women who have had trauma or past experiences that have messed with self esteem and body image concerns. Tabitha's mission is to inspire everyone to believe that they are loved, beautiful, they can do it and they are here for a reason.
