I am a 27 year-old girl that's lived on the island of Maui all my life. My mom is Filipino, and my father is of Portuguese. My family (like most American families) have a strong passion for food. We gather around food ALL THE TIME. The majority of my family is over weight, and it's not a problem for them. It was hard to loose weight and stay healthy when the rest of my family lived and ate CRAP! I am a 27 year-old girl that's lived on the island of Maui all my life. My mom is Filipino, and my father is of Portuguese. My family (like most American families) have a strong passion for food. We gather around food ALL THE TIME. The majority of my family is over weight, and it's not a problem for them. It was hard to loose weight and stay healthy when the rest of my family lived and ate CRAP! When ever they would see me they would say things like, "are you okay it looks like you're sick" and "comm'on aren't you going to eat auntie's cake?" I stuck with it and eventually became the "string bean" of the family. I didn't mind!
While trying to loose weight and taking diet pills, I also smoked. I thought smoking helped me not eat so much. Well of course because it killed my taste of food! Smoking was a bad habit that I couldn't kick for a long time. After doing turbo jam I realized that smoking held me back from really pushing as hard as I could and wanted. I cut back smoking a little bit at a time and saw a really big improvement. Eventually I kicked the habit and started teaching so that I would have to continue and keep up with the members in class.
With Turbo Kick I found my self in a community with others who had the same goals as me. I made a lot of friends who helped keep me on track. I've been teaching for over five years now. I keep in touch with all of my "Turbo Friends" and we help each other live healthy. Not only by working out but sharing eating tips, and motivational tools.
I've been a massage therapist now for four years. I know a lot about the human body, and learn more every day. I successfully help others, along with myself, stay healthy and fit everyday of my life. This is my passion, my dream, my life!

It was always my dream to be a healthy,fit person who encouraged others. My mom used to have me take diet pills to try and lose the weight. But as we all know, diet pills don't work for life changes. I joined the gym and after a few years became an instructor. I lost and kept off a total of 25lbs. After being so happy when I lost the weight I really wanted to help keep others be healthy, and stay in an active community.
