My Health and Wellness Journey

In November of last year I went after my dream and opened Metacomet CrossFit and Yoga in Windsor, the town I grew up in.  I had found CrossFit and Yoga many years earlier and wanted to take the first step in helping to make a difference in people's lives. 

Initially, I wasn't a fan of yoga, but sought it out again after a few years in the corporate world. I needed something to reduce stress and took my first class. This was a power / vinyasa class and was surprised to find out that there are many different styles and practices. Years later and some soul searching I pursued and graduated with a 200 hour yoga teacher certification.  

In search of the next level of fitness I found the amazing community that is CrossFit. Not only was I making physical achievements on a daily basis but meeting people of every age and fitness background, many of who I am still friends with today.  What soon followed was my Level 1 CrossFit certificate, and the ability to start coaching.  

CrossFit introduced  me to a new lifestyle, complete with things like paleo and zone diets, functional movement exercises ... and did I mention a strong sense of community?
