Hi everyone! I'm Kelsey, born and raised in the beautiful Bay Area. I am certified Level 1 Crossfit trainer and nutrition coach dedicated to guiding individuals about their health and fitness journey from a holistic approach. I created Holistic Wellness with the intention of empowering individuals by providing tools and support to achieve goals and live a balanced, authentic lifestyle. 

I've been passionate about health and fitness since I was in high school, however my journey was not always easy. Growing up, I always struggled with my weight since I was a young girl. My family got by and we lived off of fast food and eating out. However, I always played sports-- I played competitive soccer since I was 4 years old up to college. My breakthrough with losing weight was once I found CrossFit. Once, I started CrossFit I was introduced to a "healthier way" to consume food by restricting any food that was considered "bad". Although I had lost weight, I gained a toxic way of viewing food and developed an eating disorder called binge eating. It took me years trying to redefine how I viewed food and what I thought was the only way to be healthy until I found macro counting that provided me with knowledge and tools about nutrition.

When I had an unhealthy relationship with food, it affected not only my training but all aspects of my life such as my mental, emotional and social well-being. Since then, I became passionate about viewing wellness from an holistic approach and becoming a nutrition coach. Being an elite competitive CrossFit athlete, fueling by body properly is just as important as my training. 

Having a healthy relationship with food from a holistic approach recognizes that food is more than just fuel for the body; it's an essential aspect of overall well-being that INTERCONNECTS physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. I am passionate about helping create healthy relationships with food that involves cultivating positive thoughts and attitudes towards eating, free from guilt, shame, or restrictive behaviors that I had previously encountered. Encouraging mindful eating practices, such as paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and choosing nourishing options that support mental clarity and emotional stability. I am passionate about creating an individualized program that will provide you knowledge and tools to achieve your goals  and overall well-being!
