Michelle runs an online weight loss coaching company where she helps people figure out the mental battles preventing them from losing physical pounds. Michelle’s story into fitness in different from most. She didn’t have a ton of weight to lose, she wasn’t an athlete in college, nor did she have a health scare. She decided to start running marathons in order to get out of an abusive situation. Running changed her, and now she wants to help others do the same.
