About two years after graduating from Southern New Hampshire University in 2013, I took a  giant leap of faith. and left my job, friends, and family to head West to California. I was unsure of exactly what lay ahead, but there was one thing I knew for certain; It was time to make some changes – both in myself as well as in my environment – to fully blossom into the woman I envisioned myself to be.

With the change in scenery came a shift in perspective, and a variety of new opportunities. I started working out with a friend and felt myself becoming nearly addicted to how good it made me feel. Around this time I also became more aware of my family’s history of high blood pressure, diabetes and other food-related health issues. The reality that I was high-risk for these same issues ignited a spark to be proactive in changing the narrative for myself. 

It wasn’t long before I started to see amazing results, both physically and mentally. The changes I had made in my day-to-day routine led to a huge shift in my overall energy level and confidence. I felt so vibrant and alive. It became so clear to me that when we prioritize our physical and mental health, we are then able to naturally build up our self-esteem and passion for life, which then flows into everything we do.The stronger I began to feel, both inside and out, the more I felt a desire to help others do the same. In 2016, I started my blog, Bloom By Shaniece, with the goal of sharing content that would help women grow and embrace their true potential.

Fitness is so much more than just physical to me. The focal point of my coaching and training rests upon the idea that expanding our comfort zones naturally lends itself to growth and renewal. I also emphasize the importance of self-care. It is so common to get swept up in the hecticity of life, or caring for others, that we often push our own needs aside. It is essential to remember that we cannot pour into others if we are not consistently pouring into ourselves. The more we invest in ourselves, the easier it is to navigate all that comes our way. We must dedicate time and energy to nourishing ourselves before we can radiate and attract that of our fullest potential. 

My 1-on-1 training sessions are inspired by this unique combination of personal experience, compassion and self-development skills acquired over the past decade. My training and coaching sessions are specifically tailored to each client’s needs, with a focus not just on losing weight, but on how to live a healthier lifestyle. My ultimate goal is to empower women to confidently step into success by informing, supporting and celebrating those who are ready to make some changes and live their best life in the process..
