Dear Friends,

One of my greatest joys is to help people change their mind about themselves and find strengths they never knew they had.  I get very excited about being a catalyst for positive change.  It ranks high on my "joy giver" list.  I learned what wise teachers know---that we all have a purpose, special gifts, and talents that are meant to be shared with the world.  Once we discover what we are meant to do, we enjoy our work and feel our lives are worthwhile.

I love the work I do!  Helping people, especially women, make healthy lifestyle choices is my "CALLING."  Over 20 years of experience has taught me that the world is a better place when we move and participate in physical activity.  Besides the obvious important health implications, we can achieve mental acuity, spiritual awareness, and greater happiness.  Moving well enables us to feel what it really means to be alive and apart of life.  It's not about getting the perfect body.  The practice of self care as it manifests in physical activity can transform and change our lives to reflect an abundance of inner strength and outer vitality.

As a lifestyle and weight management coach and personal trainer, I love connecting with people of every kind.  It gives me an opportunity to talk about the one thing that matters to all of us---being seen for who we truly are!  As an African American and woman I fully understand how societal standards and influences affect how we are viewed and judged.  My philosophy is this:  When we feel strong in our bodies and good in our skin, it shows, no matter what we look like.  Body wisdom and body confidence can transform all other aspects of our lives and our ability to infulence the world around us.  Every time we make small incremental steps toward a more healthy life, it is enough.  Lives based on illusions of perfectionism and control soon disintegrate into despair.

I like to maintain the wisdom of Deepak Chopra, M.D. who says, "The first step toward experiencing your body in a different way is to change your interpretation of it."  I am committed to helping people discover the infinite possibilities for self love by building a love affair with themselves and their bodies through thought and deed.  I would be honored for you to join me!

Warmly,

Coach Charlotte
