"Finding Madison to prepare for my wedding was such a blessing, she quickly become so much more than a coach, but a support system, a cheerleader (pun intended), and truly a rock. I started working with Madison toward the end of June to get into shape and shed a few pounds for my upcoming wedding in December. Like most girls, I had this number in mind, and a vision of how I wanted myself to look on my wedding day. I did not know it at the time, but Madison helped me find worth and beauty in so much more than my physical appearance for the absolute best day of my life. Yes, I lost weight, yes I was able to tone up with her workouts (they are AMAZING), but I was also able to enjoy the process. Madison encouraged me to enjoy the showers, the time with our family, and soak in this time for my now husband and I to focus on all the love that was surrounding us in the months leading up to our big day. Like Madison, my husband is also in this crazy baseball world, so she was able to relate to my struggles, manage the stress of being away, and make small adjustments in my daily routine that helped my over health – not just physically. Toward the end of October, after putting so much stress on myself for months to hit this crazy number I was fixated on in my head, Madison, my husband and I decided I should focus less on the numbers, the macros, the dress, and truly focus on what is important, that I was marrying my best friend in just a couple short months. The fact that Madison was able to encourage me to do this shows so much about her level of coaching, she truly had my best interest at heart. I still worked with Madison, sending her general notes and we would make small changes to continue progress, but it was not all about that, my priorities were right were the needed to be. Madison has helped be physically, and more importantly mentally, and for that I am FOREVER grateful!"- Morgan

Morgan’s testimony pretty much says it all – she rocks!! Always so dedicated to her workouts and healthy dietary decisions, Morgan was a pleasure to work with. It was very rewarding to be a part of her mental transformation. As she mentioned, we worked together to shift her focus from achieving specific results (a certain weight on the scale) to placing greater emphasis on the process itself (balancing workouts + healthy eating with the ability to enjoy time with family & friends). Leading up to her big day, we aimed to attain a balance between ideal and reality. For example, on the day of her bridal shower, the goal was to complete a workout in the morning (even if it was brief) to be able to ENJOY eating more flexibly during the event. We discussed the importance of eating as normal as possible throughout that day, rather than starving herself leading up to it so that she could enjoy a few treats during the shower. Most of us are only given one bridal shower in our lives, and it is so important to enjoy that special time!

I felt all our work paid off when I started hearing from Morgan that she was loosening her control grip on eating/workouts in order to soak in more of the wedding process. Not for a second did she “fall off the wagon”, but she was able to appreciate a treat here and there without beating herself up over it. I anxiously awaited news on how Morgan felt the day of her wedding and was BEYOND STOKED hearing her describe how great she felt! Not only did she feel beautiful and special (she really is, y’all!), she felt liberated from her bondage with food and was able to focus on marrying her now husband, Breckin, rather than stressing over what she ate throughout the day. I could tell she felt confident, which was so wonderful to hear. (As a side note – her shoulders looked freakin’ BOMB in her dress!!!)

I am very grateful to Morgan for trusting me to help her prepare for one of the most special days of her life, and hope for the opportunity to work with more brides-to-be. 😊
