Hey, I’m Taya!
I’m a certified nutritional practitioner, meal prep enthusiast and food lover passionate about helping people build healthier and happier lives.
But my relationship with food, fitness, and my body hasn’t always
been this way.
Growing Up, I Didn’t Feel at Home in My Body
I wish I could tell you that I’ve always had a balanced, joyful relationship with food, fitness, and my body. But the truth is, I didn’t.
For years, I struggled with how I looked and lived in cycles of frustration with what I was eating, how I was moving, and the way I felt about myself.
When I finally stepped into the gym, it felt liberating. I discovered bodybuilding and, at first, I loved it. The structure, the challenge, the discipline. I finally felt in control.
But what started as excitement slowly turned into obsession. I was chasing numbers on the scale, tracking every bite, and constantly criticizing myself in the mirror. It was never enough. I always wanted more.
That drive eventually led me to compete in my first (and last) bodybuilding show. I reached the level of “shredded” I thought I wanted so badly, only to realize it didn’t bring the happiness I’d imagined. I was lean, but I wasn’t well. I had lost touch with what health really meant.
That experience led me down a path of understanding what true health means to me.
It’s about more than what you look like. It’s feeling comfortable in your body, having a healthy cycle, and seeing food as nourishment for the body and soul, rather than just a way to change your appearance.
Discipline can change your body but only
self-compassion can heal it.
I know how heavy the cycle of dieting, body shame, and self-criticism can feel. How exhausting it is to constantly second-guess what you eat and feel like you should be doing more. And I want to help you find another way.
I learned how to listen to my body, make room for rest, and shift from restriction and obsessive tracking to truly nourishing myself without letting it consume my life. Eating became joyful again, and slowly, I started to feel more like myself.
True health became less about chasing a look and more about creating a life that felt good from the inside out.
This is why I do the work I do now.
Through personal training, nutrition coaching, and in-home meal prep, I help you build strength, nourish your body, and create balanced habits that support your life.
Whether you need guidance in the gym, support figuring out what to eat, or someone to take the cooking off your plate, we’ll start where you are and work toward what you need.
My mission is simple: to help you feel at home in your body again, with the tools and support to care for yourself without letting food and fitness take over your life.
You deserve more than a body you’re proud to look at. You deserve a life you feel good living.
You deserve to feel good in your body and have the energy to live the life you want. And that is SO possible for you.
