Our Founder

I lost 80 pounds by addressing what was actually broken.

For years, I did what I was told to do—eat less, move more—and nothing changed. Doctors said it was “just aging.”

They weren’t entirely wrong. My body was experiencing early metabolic shifts that often come with age—changes in energy, weight regulation, and recovery that many people quietly struggle with.

​

What changed everything was learning how the body actually responds to stress, movement, nutrition, and recovery. When I began addressing underlying patterns—rather than chasing symptoms—I rebuilt my health and learned how to sustain it.

That personal transformation became the foundation for The Daily Rebuild™—a comprehensive wellness program designed to support strength, consistency, and long-term capacity through training, nutrition, and mindset support.

​

My professional journey into wellness began at the International Sports Sciences Institute, where I worked alongside Dr. LeRoy Perry, a pioneer in integrative and performance-based health. There, I saw how intelligent training, nutrition, and recovery could transform not just performance, but quality of life. I also witnessed how deeply people struggle when the body isn’t properly supported—even high performers.

​

But it was life itself—personal loss, motherhood, career transitions, and seasons of burnout—that gave me lived insight into what rebuilding truly requires.

​

I later launched Revive & Thrive Juice Co. to create a more realistic, purpose-driven entry point into wellness. Functional juices became a simple way to support better habits and nutritional awareness. What started as a juice company grew into a community-driven brand known across North Dallas and beyond.

​

But nutrition alone isn’t enough.

​

Real change requires intelligent training, functional movement, cardiovascular conditioning, thoughtful supplementation, and accountability over time.

​

That’s why I built Revive & Thrive Wellness—a boutique wellness environment centered on The Daily Rebuild™, with training delivered through Metabolic Rebuild Training™ (MRT), our proprietary training methodology. Everything we do is designed to support sustainable progress—not extremes.

​

Today, my work blends decades of experience with advanced training in functional nutrition, personal training, strength and conditioning, and corrective exercise. I bring both professional expertise and real-world empathy to every system I build—because true wellness takes both.

​

The Daily Rebuild™ is the program I wish existed when I needed a reset. Now, it’s here to help others move from burnout to balance, and from survival to strength.

​

We’re rebuilding health, not just bodies™.
