Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Strong + Beautiful, Wellness-Minded Entrepreneur
Happy Friday, lovely ladies! Hope you’re all having a wonderful start to the new season. Fall is my absolute favorite — from pumpkins and hot tea to boots + leggings and cozy sweaters, I am in love with it all.
Now to this week’s Healthy Chick in the community! I am so excited to introduce you to the lovely Kerri. She’s a fellow health coach, wellness guru, entrepreneur and PR queen who is on a mission!
When I think of Kerri, one word immediately pops into my mind: strong. I love how she’s totally taken control of her own health, and has learned to ride the waves & conquer all the battles that may come her way. This lady is a mover + a shaker. I’ll let you see just how fabulous she is yourself!

Healthy Chicks in the Community: An Ever-So-Creative, Playful, Nike-Trainer Mama
Happy Friday, ladies! I’m off running Reach the Beach Relay right now (perhaps in the middle of one of my legs as we speak 😉 ) but I wanted to make sure I brought you our weekly Healthy Chicks in the Community series!
This week’s spotlight is someone I totally admire. She has a way with words (and music!) like no other, she’s a killer Flywheel instructor, and she’s a brand new mommy to a beautiful baby girl! I’ll let you see just how fabulous Miss Jessica Latshaw is for yourself…

WHAT YOU DO FOR WORK: I teach spin/barre at flywheel sports, toning/sculpting at Boston Body, and work for Nike as a Nike trainer. My writing was also recently published in The Village Magazine. I toured with Broadway shows and performed my own music on stages around the world; this season, I’m in a loud, ridiculous show every single day, just trying my best to keep my nine month old daughter entertained.
NUMBER ONE PASSION: living my best life and encouraging others to do the same.

Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Yoga & Kale Loving Twenty-Something Babe
Happy Friday, loves! I couldn’t be more excited for the weekend. One of my best friends is getting married tomorrow, so I’m heading home to good ol’ Connecticut for the rehearsal dinner to begin the festivities tonight! (They are getting a pizza truck tonight…how cool?!)
Anyway, it’s time to bring you this week’s feature for Healthy Chicks in the Community! I am overjoyed to introduce you to one of my oldest friends Eliza…who goes by Liza but some — including me — call her Lizey 😉
I met Liza way back during the days of our pool club & swim team. She was a super-fast freestyler and absolutely gorgeous…and I thought she was super cool (and still do)! We were obsessed with random dance parties, The Back Street Boys, at-home karaoke, late-night sleepovers, oh and of course BOYS.
While much has changed since our childhood years, our friendship still remains the same! Liza is always one of those friends I can go months (or even a year!) without seeing, and we pick up like it was just yesterday. I truly admire her bubbly glowing personality…she’s simply a fun-loving gal you always want to be around! I’ll let you meet her … Read More!
Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Fabulous, Cycling, Froyo-Loving Trendy Trainer
Happy Friday, ladies! I’m currently writing to you from the lovely San Diego. My dad & I left our spouses at home for a little R & R on the beach. We’ve been loving our morning runs (training for Reach the Beach!), sea breeze with zero humidity, and fish tacos for days (with a side of margaritas!)
Anyway, it’s time to bring you this week’s Healthy Chicks in the Community! I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce you to the lovely Caroline Earle, the beautiful blogger behind Trendy Trainer. I met Caroline a couple years ago through work and always being invited to the same fitness blogger events. I was instantly wowed by her glowing, bubbly personality and positive attitude. I’m telling you, this gal is ON FIRE! She’s also one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, totally speaking from the heart and walking the walk. Not to mention she’s drop dead gorgeous (from the inside out!) I’ll let you meet her for yourself!

Hey, ladies! Thanks for all the love on my personal story toward discovering peace in my body — through messages, insta comments, and tweets, I am overjoyed by all your kind words.
On to this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community! I am thrilled to introduce you to Christina — she’s pretty badass and knows how to get sh*t done like no other (especially when it comes to her workouts). I first met her when taking her class at Flywheel here in Boston. The beets were bumpin’, the studio was pitch-dark, and Christina surely brought the energy!
I’ve had such a blast getting to know Christina throughout the past couple years, from my time at sweetgreen to catching one of her classes at Barry’s or Flywheel. If you’re Boston-based, and haven’t taken one of her classes yet…DO IT! You won’t regret it. But in the meantime, you can get to know her a little bit better over here!

Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Margarita-Pizza-Loving, Spiritual Yogi
TGIF my loves! This week has been fabulous indeed, as I’ve been training for two fun races (exciting announcement coming soon!), adding final touches for tomorrow’s Soul Sisters Retreat to Spectacle Island (which just sold out this a.m.!) and lots and lots of writing and personal soul-searching.
I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring you this week’s spotlight on Healthy Chicks in the Community — one of my best friends and Soul Sister Kelley. I first met Kel 4 years ago when we were working at a spa to make ends meet while completing our Health Coach Training at Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
We became close quickly, bonding over our love for good food, spirituality, and empowering others to feel healthy in their own skin. 4 years later, and Kel was a bridesmaid at my wedding last fall, and we’ve recently teamed up to launch Soul Sisters: a monthly retreat for women looking to re-ignite their passion and re-connect with their soul’s truth! I love Kel’s calming presence, delish home-made goodies she makes, and that she’s just a straight up genuine, no BS gal. I’ll let you see for yourself…you’re going to love her too!

Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Hot-Pink Loving, 5-K Walking Southern Sweetie
Morning ladies, and TGIF! I don’t know about you, but this week went by slooow for me, most likely because last week we went away to VA for a good friend’s wedding and now we’re getting back into the groove of things. But now I’m officially ready for the weekend…and my good friend’s bachelorette party! (Holy wedding season!)
Anyway, it’s time for this week’s Healthy Chicks in the Community Spotlight! I’m stoked to introduce you to Glenneth — she has the warmest heart, vivacious personality, and she’s simply an all around rockstar! I first met her through the blogosphere (she’s a fellow wellness blogger and coach!) and I got to know her even better when she took part in some of my group e-programs that I run seasonally. I always admired Glenneth’s fearless attitude & positivity for herself and other women…she’s a bundle of fun. I’ll let you see for yourself!

So, you wanna be a health coach? {My Personal Experience with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition & all your qs answered}
So, what’s a health coach, anyway?
What was your experience like at IIN?
I want to be a health coach…where do I begin?
What’s a day in the life look like for you?
Is health coaching right for me?
As a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), these are the types of questions I get each week both online, and in real life. While I love a good ol’ coffee date and certainly don’t mind typing emails, I figured it makes more sense to have all this good, juicy info in one place: here on the blog.
My journey all began back in the Summer of 2011. I was jumping from part-time job to job (everything from barista to spa concierge), searching for my purpose. I had all the passion in the world, but couldn’t figure out how to turn it into my career.
At the time, I was regularly blogging here on Healthy Chicks, and had just gone through some major body breakthroughs. That year, I learned that I didn’t need to count calories, go on restrictive diets or give up bread to be healthy. I learned that nourishing your body (through good food … Read More!
