Teresa Le
- Certified Personal Trainer and Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant
- My journey has been one of self-exploration, personal challenges and complete acceptance of where I am at all times. I was in my thirties, tired and frustrated with a lack of energy and enthusiasm for life when I decided to make a shift. The shift was one that has transformed my life and allowed me to truly live authentically and in the moment with my spirit and my body. I began to exercise, eat healthier, take care of my spirit and fall in love with me. The result was 80 pounds of weight loss, a stronger and leaner body and the confidence to challenge myself! Allowing myself to fully experience the struggles along the way has taught me that I can achieve anything. It is my goal to be on a journey that allows me to live with passion and express myself with the spirit of today!
