My Story

Coach Jocelyn started her health and wellness coaching journey after struggling with yo-yo dieting for many years. At just 11 years old, she began dieting, weighing 200 pounds, and trying over 18 diets in 30 years. Some didn't work at all, while others led to losing 10-20 pounds, only to gain back even more weight. Despite playing sports in school and college, maintaining a healthy weight was very difficult.

​

She earned a double major in Business and Kinesiology at California State University, Fresno, and pursued a Masters in Divinity from Tabernacle Bible College in Florida. She also became certified as a Personal Trainer (NCSF), Mental Health Coach, Mixxed Fit, Xtreme Hip Hop with Phil and Zumba Instructor. Despite her achievements, she faced weight gain, stress, and sadness during her 8-year marriage, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and raising two children. Losing jobs and a divorce in 2021 also added to her challenges.

​

This challenging journey weighing in at 250 pounds depressed, acne, rashes, gut issues added to her already damaged her self-esteem and confidence.   One day, driven by faith, she decided it was time for a change and started her journey toward better health and wellness. Jocelyn knew that by discovering and using effective strategies, she could transform herself and her family, breaking free from a family history of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and depression.

​

Jocelyn found the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, where she learned how to drop 15 pounds, 3 dress sizes, in 6 months without strict dieting. Although this was a huge victory, she was at a stall in her weight loss and could not break through the plateau, which she stayed at for a year. By divine appointment, she met elite Master Health Coach, the "Un-Diet" Coach Shiela Keilty, joined her program, and lost 40 more pounds in 6 months with no dieting, shakes, supplements, surgeries, or extreme exercises.

 

Today she is following the footsteps of her Health Coach Mentor and will achieve a more science-based approach certification towards fat loss at the Primal Health Coaching Institute to add to her knowledge.  This is another level of Health Coach Certification approved and recognized by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC)

​

Passionate about health and wellness, Jocelyn makes live videos for her health and wellness vlog and enjoys hobbies such as hiking, roller-skating step-aerobics, bicycling, and movies.

​

Jocelyn offers various services, including one-on-one coaching, group coaching, health and wellness workshops, corporate wellness programs, seminars, conferences, guest speaking, and panel participation. These services can be in person or online.
