This space was built for you.
I've been coaching people in fitness and nutrition for over 14 years. Got certified back in August of 2011. Spent years training people in gyms — then moved everything online after the pandemic to make it more accessible. Especially for people like us.
Before that, I served in the United States Air Force. The discipline I built there shaped how I coach — but so did everything that came after. The burnout. The obsession. The dysphoria. The weeks I couldn't bring myself to open the workout app. All of it.
I also spent years in a complicated relationship with food. Binge eating disorder isn't something people talk about enough in fitness spaces — partly because fitness culture tends to treat eating issues as a character flaw rather than something real that happens to real people. I lived it. I've lost over 50 pounds and I've been on both sides of what it feels like to be at war with your own body. I'm mostly on the other side of that now. Mostly — because I think that kind of honesty matters more than pretending I've arrived somewhere perfect.
What I found on the other side wasn't a perfect relationship with food or a body I never second-guess. It was balance. A version of myself that's stronger, more grounded, and genuinely at peace with the process of taking care of myself. That's what I want to help other people find.
That same drive to build things that didn't exist for people like us is what led me to found Mystical Transcendence — a queer-owned supplement line built around the same values as this coaching practice. No gimmicks, no before-and-after culture, no products designed to make you feel like you're not enough without them. Just supplements that actually support the work you're already doing.
I started my own transition when I was 27. That changed everything about how I understand bodies, movement, and what it actually means to take care of yourself. The fitness industry wasn't built with trans people in mind — and I spent years feeling the gap between what was out there and what people like us actually needed.
So I built what I wish existed. A coaching space where your identity, your history, and your body aren't obstacles to work around. They're the starting point.
Now I work with queer and trans folks — plus anyone who's felt left out or overlooked in traditional fitness spaces — who are ready to move, eat, and live in a way that actually feels good. With compassion, curiosity, and care. No shame. No extremes.
