Hi there!
I'm Alicia (or to some.. Ali, Al, Rose, etc) and I want you to get to know me!
I am an ISSA Certified Trainer and I have had a passion for fitness and nutrition ever since late middle school, early high school. I had been involved in basketball for years, loved gym class (aside from running), and always wanted to be the gal who got the most pull-ups or sit ups in the class. I will admit that not everything was all rainbows and sunshine though, as I struggled with eating.. Or lack there of at times. I will not pretend to you that I am perfect, for that we all have our struggles. But I think it was because of my upbringing , struggles, and errors that made me more passionate about helping others along their journey. I don't want others to feel how I had felt for so many years and for living in a family where basic nutrition was hardly known.. I kind of had to learn things on my own.
I didn't know until about the age of 22 that I had allergies/food sensitivities to all types of wheat, eggs, and dairy/casein. I think Oregano is in there somewhere too but that's one I refuse to let go of, being part Italian and all. I always had a gut feeling (pun intended) that those items made me off, but being made aware and actually seeing the results of the test I took has helped me be more mindful about my body and what I put it in.
Last little fun facts about me is that I am a travel enthusiast, hair stylist, bartender, jack of all trades kind of gal. Middle child of the family (it shows), and I have to say I prefer dogs over cats. I don't sit still well and my bucket list is probably bigger than yours.
I hope to connect with you soon!
