My name is Brooke and I am the dreamer behind Lifted Body Heart Mind. I am a passionate fitness and nutrition coach, personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I have been a teacher for 20+ years working in a variety of settings-prisons, alternative ed, elementary and high schools. My heart’s purpose has always been to help others realize their best selves.

My “why” is built on passion, purpose and love, however this particular path is built on my own inner journey and the battles I faced in midlife as a women, mom, teacher, wife and daughter. When I was in my 30’s, I was working full time, rearing two young children, running a household and taking care of everyone else except myself. All the while, I was noticing changes in my body, heart and mind that felt heavy, confusing, and overwhelming. I tried to ignore these changes. I tried to numb the feelings. I thought I could out-exercise, out-work, and out-do them. But, they just got worse. I spent years living off black coffee and what I thought was a healthy exercise regime, nutrition plan and sleep schedule. The truth is that I was living in a chronically stressed out body, a misaligned heart and a racing mind. And I knew deep down, that the life I was living was going to break me.

I decided that I had to follow my inner heart, my inner compass, and I did just that! I listened to her! And as a result, I can say with total honesty that at 45 years old I am the happiest, healthiest and strongest I have ever been.

And now, I want to spend my time working with other women to help them realize their best selves!
