Hi, I'm Jea.

A herniated disc doesn't just hurt your back. Mine made every day feel like my body was fighting me. I gained about 15 pounds, ate for comfort, and got stuck between bingeing and restricting. I hated how I looked and, worse, how I felt.

I'd try to fix EVERYTHING at once, get overwhelmed within two weeks, and fall right back into the same patterns. If you've lived that loop, I don't have to describe it.

What finally worked wasn't a miracle program. It was showing up at a pace I could sustain, and learning why each piece mattered. My pain eased. My body changed. Seventeen pounds, eventually.

The bigger shift was in my head. Food became fuel instead of a battleground, and I started believing I could do hard things.

I found a way to meet myself where I was and reach my goals without pressure or shame. That sentence is now the backbone of how I coach.

Studying for the NASM CPT scared me. It was one of those things I'd quietly decided was for other people. I did it anyway. Passed, certified, and stacked it on years of teaching yoga.

Now I coach women through the exact shift I lived: out of pain, out of the binge-guilt loop, into strength that serves your real life.

Because of my back, I'll always train you for function as much as looks. How you move at 60 matters as much as how you look at 30.
