My love of health and fitness started about 2 years ago when my kids got older and more independent and I stopped going to their school for volunteers as much. My focus shifted to adopting a healthier lifestyle and to become an entrepreneur with my marketing and advertising experience.
I opened Peachy Fitness and started offering Ann Arbor Zumba and Yoga classes to women and kids in the community. I brought licensed and found experienced instructors, and got positive feedback.
Life can be hectic and that’s not going to change but the workout routine should be something we look forward to. Parents/Kids bonding is very important so I started Mother-Daughter classes.
Professionally, I hold a degree in Finance from University of South Florida. I love spending time in Ann Arbor. Recently I have been working as an Health Ambassador for University of Michigan where I teach middle school kids how to develop healthy eating habits and how to have an active lifestyle. It’s a great school based program developed by University of Michigan to reduce childhood obesity and it’s long term health risks. I am proud to be part of that.
Personally, I keep my self active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I am very passionate about my health, my family’s health and helping people get healthy.
I walk/run 3 miles a day and I love doing Zumba and Yoga. I ran 5K and finished with a pride. It’s all fun for me. My husband is a runner and motivates me to keep an active lifestyle. My son, 10 and my daughter, 9 have committed themselves to fitness classes and to have 2 servings of fruits and veggies everyday. Taking small steps is the key in our household.
Together we can make a healthier community and have a healthier future!!! I look forward to meeting you at one of my Zumba or Yoga classes or while visiting throughout Ann Arbor.
