We have taken Samantha’s portraits three years in a row now and each year we seem to have more and more fun brainstorming ideas to create images that she can use throughout the year for her Beach body business! 4 years ago, about 6 months before Robert and I got married I reached out to Samantha about the beach body program that she was running and started the Turbo Jam fitness program that she mentions below! Turbo Jam combined with healthier eating helped me to reach goals I never imagined for our wedding day! She is such an inspiration and her heart is so full and passion for each one of the people that she works with! Her positive outlook on life and down to earth perspective makes it so easy to connect and often light up my day when I’m scrolling through my news feed!

I asked her a few questions about her business and her journey! Check it out along with some of her images!

How long have you been coaching?

I’ve been a coach for 5 years, it was a hobby for the first 2+ and took me a while to learn that I could make it a real business

What inspires you the most about coaching?

The thing that inspires me most about coaching is my focus on disease prevention through healthy eating and regular exercise. I used to HATE exercise until I found TurboJam about 8 years ago, once I found something I enjoyed everything changed. I want to help my clients enjoy a healthy life. It doesn’t have to be a chore, it truly can become an enjoyable lifestyle. And goodness gracious healthy eating can be delicious

What is one thing you wish you could tell everyone to help them in their journey?

 Being an ER nurse by trade has definitely given me an appreciation for my health and that of my clients. I want to do everything I can to keep preventable illnesses like type 2 diabetes and heart disease at bay. The one thing I wish I could tell everyone…that’s tough, bc there’s so much! But the most important is to find exercises you ENJOY (they’re out there trust me, there are still workouts I HATE, and others that I LOVE) and find healthy foods/recipes/meals that you enjoy too! It takes a little time and practice, but before you know it you’re healthier and happier than ever
