Who I am
Hi there! I’m Jessica Kelly. Prior to moving to Tampa Florida, I was an owner and CEO of two gyms in upstate New York. I am certified through WITS and AFFA in personal training, group fitness, and nutrition. I'm also a proud graduate of INN (Integrative Nutrition) and FXN (Functional Nutrition Alliance) as a certified health coach and functional nutrition practitioner.
As an owner of two fitness centers, a personal trainer, and a former NPC bikini competitor, I was always focused on training hard, counting calories, and working myself into the ground. After a few years of pushing myself too hard, exercising myself to exhaustion, under-eating, relying on too much sugar and caffeine for energy, I eventually crashed.
I hated that I had gotten myself to this place. I felt disconnected from my body, I was stressed and worst of all, I had extreme digestive issues and experienced bloating all the time.
None of the doctors I reached out to were able to explain why I was feeling this way or offered any help. I had been through several procedures and tests to find an answer, but I left feeling hopeless.
I wanted to get to the root of the cause, not just band-aid my symptoms with medication. I knew there had to be a way to heal myself holistically, through whole food, supplementation, and lifestyle alterations.
So I started researching, reading, and trying different approaches to health and healing. That’s when I enrolled in Integrative Nutrition and FXN Functional Nutrition health coaching courses to get the experience and education I need to dedicate my life to helping people, just like YOU!
I can proudly say, I have been restored to optimal health and I want that for you too.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of clients not only GET results, but KEEP them. I’ve transformed my passion for health and fitness into a successful all-encompassing health coaching business.
