“I was 190 pounds when I came to Baird Wellness in 2016. My goal was to lose weight and to live a healthier lifestyle. Sarah Lynn was amazing. She was my godmother, my superhero, and she was always there to inspire me.

What really struck a cord with me was when Sarah Lynn asked me what kind of student I was at school. I told her I was an A student. She made me realize I have always had the drive to achieve whatever I wanted, and I applied my A student mentality to my new goals for my health. In two months, I lost 30 pounds!

I lost 55 pounds in 2016 have kept it off! The amazing thing was I lost all that weight without starving myself, going on some crazy or painful diet, and most importantly, without giving up El Salvadorian food. Sarah Lynn was so sensitive about my cultural background and made sure to incorporate my cultural foods into my nutritional plan.

I am now more energetic, more positive, and most importantly I am so much more confident. I am so excited about joining the Baird Wellness team as a coach in the near future, to inspire and share what I have learnt with others, especially with those of Hispanic background.”

Jessica is inspiring for a myriad of reasons. When she made the decision to seek coaching support to change her habits and mindset, she never missed a session! She was in my office every Saturday at 7 am, without pause! Not only did she commit to feeding her body well- she implemented workouts (almost daily) after very long hours working as a nanny…She never made excuses and kept her focus on how much better she felt when she cared for herself…She was DRIVEN!

Jessica’s body composition change is a mere byproduct of her inner transformation, which lies in her evolving growth mindset. She “believed” she was worth it and she could do it- she knew the only person that could get in her way was her…This warrior attitude made all the difference.

“I want to change my habits and it is going to happen NOW!”

Last year, in addition to working FT, she started teaching Spanish and found she had a real gift for empowering/teaching others. She also used her own journey/nutrition knowledge to inspire and educate friends in her community. Her “growth mindset” blossomed and permeated every part of her life. Currently Jessica is exploring university options and working on pursuing a career path that transcends many glass ceilings in her family…I am so proud of her (I am also secretly hoping she joins my coaching team in the future)!!!
