“For years, I'd wanted to help people uncover their inner desire to change their bodies. It's something I know about. As a child and teenager, I was overweight and unhappy. After obtaining my bachelor's degree from Gonzaga University and publishing HERO Magazine, my angst increased upon moving to Los Angeles in 1997, surrounded by the "beautiful people." Finally, I said, "enough!" and something sparked deep inside. I set out on a course to transform my body—and with it—my life.

I will help you change your life.
