I see you…yes, you! A woman who doesn’t trust her body and feels uncomfortable in her own skin. A woman who feels she is doing the right things, but isn’t getting results. A woman who has tried and ‘failed” at countless diets, and is left feeling more confused than ever. I see you..because I WAS you.

My Name is Lea

Throughout my early childhood, teens, and twenties, I flopped back and forth between overweight and obese. From the age of eight, I began trying many diets and was at war with my body. My real journey began in 2011 when my father passed away suddenly, and amongst the grief I asked myself, “how can I honour him?” I knew I had some lifestyle changes to make, and this time, they had to be about HEALTH. Around the same time, I was accepted into Nursing school, and learned I had an hormonal condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This deepened my commitment to learning more about my body, and nutrition.

Over the years, there have been times with loss, family illness, injury, and stress, but all of these challenges have brought a greater level of knowledge understanding, and commitment to improving my own health, as well as helping other women do the same. I believe, the greatest path to success is by making one good choice at a time.

In 2019, I set out to create further hormonal balance, and level up my health even further, learning a ton in the process. By focusing on what I believe are absolute foundational, yet rarely practiced routines, I was able to significantly increase my food and carbohydrate intake, put on muscle mass, boost my metabolism, and lose and additional 25lbs of body fat in less than a year. Most importantly, I FELT fantastic and knew it was finally time to begin helping others.

I LOVE supporting, educating, and uplifting other women, and the Beyond Measure Nutrition programs were designed to do just that- support you along YOUR journey. More than anything, I want you to wake up FEELING great in your own skin, and have the energy to LIVE your life while you work towards your goals. You *may* even experience a bit of my tough love attitude. I’m known for being “honest all the time, with compassion”. Often, when someone challenges our current way of thinking it can be uncomfortable, and it may even push a few buttons, but AMAZING growth and change can come from that, and there’s nothing better than watching someone grow into the best, happiest, most empowered version of themselves.

As a coach, I am committed to investing in lifelong learning. A large part of my coaching practice focus’s on metabolic and hormonal health, as well as sustainable physical transformations WHILE improving relationships with food.

Lots of love.. And just a touch of bossy,

xoxo
