From too overweight to adopt children to a fitness coach with Bon Collins Becoming Parents Parenting Entrepreneurs, and Birthwork

In my early years, I dealt with my birth parents mental health 

- at 5 they joined what I grew up thinking was a normal church, but as an adult learned was a cult
-experienced emotional and physical abuse -was kicked out at 18 - met my husband (he is an autist but was diagnosed at 40 years old)
- struggled to integrate into the real world culminating in multiple suicide attempts and poor mental health in my early 20s.
-started dieting at 18 when I was told I was too fat (in reality I weighed 140lbs)
- married husband.
-experienced infertility
- had an accident in 2009 in which face, neck, and airways were burned with steam
- got poorly after, ended up in a wheelchair facing not walking
-am stubborn - not only walked again but ran.
- fostered - was set to adopt 2 foster children but the British system deemed me too overweight and so was denied at the last court date.  
- transformed my health and fitness for me.  

Losing over 125lbs.  Now qualified as a weightlifting and strength and conditioning coach and support others to do the same without the shame spiral of diets.
