Mv Story
My relationship with health and fitness started at a young age. Growing up, I was constantly aware of my body and struggled with being compared to my sisters and being called the “fat sister.” By eight years old, I had already developed an unhealthy relationship with food and my body. For years, I thought being healthy meant being smaller, restricting myself, and constantly trying to change who I was.
Then my health changed in a way I never expected. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and for the first time, I understood what it felt like to not feel in control of your own body. I struggled with my energy, my health, and simply feeling like myself. It forced me to realize that health isn't about looking a certain way — it's about having the strength, energy, and ability to actually live your life.
My journey back taught me how to move with purpose, fuel my body, build strength, and create habits that supported my health instead of fighting against it. I eventually lost 40 pounds, but the biggest transformation wasn't the weight. It was learning to trust my body, rebuild my confidence, and understand that taking care of yourself isn't punishment — it's a form of self-respect.
That's why I created Active with Ava. I know what it's like to feel disconnected from your body, frustrated with your progress, or like you're constantly starting over. I also know how powerful it is to finally feel strong, capable, and in control of your health again. My goal is to help you create that same shift through personalized training, wellness, nutrition, mindset, and accountability — without making fitness your entire life.
If you're struggling to find your way back to yourself, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm here to help you take back your health, rebuild your confidence, and create a lifestyle that makes you feel like yourself again.
Your health is worth investing in. Your best self is worth becoming.
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE.
If you've been waiting for the “right time” to finally prioritize yourself, this is your sign to stop waiting.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you start.
You don't need to be in shape.
You don't need to be perfect.
You just need to be ready to show up for yourself.
When you work with me, you aren't just getting a workout plan.
You're getting a coach who is invested in your growth, your health, your confidence, and the person you're becoming.
We'll build your plan together. We'll navigate the hard weeks. We'll celebrate the wins. We'll adjust when life changes. And we'll create habits that don't disappear the moment motivation does.
Because you deserve more than another temporary transformation.
You deserve to feel at home in your body and proud of the life you're creating.
