My
journey
as a
health
professional
started
before
I
even
knew
it.
My name is
Sylvie and I
am a
Certified
Personal
Trainer in
Annapolis,
MD
through
the
American
Council
on
Exercise
(ACE).
Starting
as a
gymnast
at
the
age
of
five,
and
avid
athlete
since
that
age,
I
developed
strength
and
muscles
that
other
girls
did
not
have.
During
my
last
couple
years
of
high
school
I
developed
an
eating
disorder.
I
knew
I
needed
help,
so I
took
my
first
semester
off
of
college
and
checked
myself
in
to a
clinic
to
get
better.
I
still
remember
the
day
I
walked
out
of
treatment,
knowing
this
was
going
to
be a
lifelong
commitment
to
health...AND
with
the
desire
to
help
other
people
achieve
a
healthy
way
of
life.
Upon
my
last
year
of
college
I
became
ACE
certified and
started
my
training
career, and
competition
journey. I
entered
my
first
show,
the
Miss
Galaxy,
in
1995...what
a
great
experience
and
great
sense
of
personal
accomplishment.
As
my
business
grew
I
also
competed
in
local
fitness
competitions
until
July
1997
where
I
was
hit
by
an
18-wheeler.
Needless
to
say,
my
back-flipping
days
were
done.
It
took
three
in
half
years
of
doctors,
injections,
physical
therapy,
re-learning
my
body
and
how
to
train
myself
with
the
injuries
I
sustained
in
my
lower
back,
hips
and
left
side
of
my
body.
Through
those
years
I
continued
training
people
and
educating
myself
for
my
personal
growth
and
the
growth
of
my
clients.
Six
months
before
my
30th
birthday
I
was
determined
to
get
on
stage
again.
I
could
not
perform
any
routines
and
the
figure
division
was
just
starting
to
take
off.
So I
started
my
contest
preparation
again.
My
first
show
I
took
1st
in
North
Carolina,
then
3rd
in
Florida
qualifying
me
for
Nationals,
four
weeks
later
top
15
call
out
on
National
stage.
National
Level
competitor…
I
was
back,
and
it
felt
great!
Since
then
my
commitment
to
helping
others
attain
a
healthy
lifestyle
has
grown.
I
have
worked
with
a
variety
of
people
and
ages,
and
specialty
factors
involved.
I am
currently
working
on
my
master’s
trainer
certification
with
ISSA,
and
looking
forward
to
be
back
on
stage
soon.
The
key
factors
I
bring
are
truly
caring
about
people’s health
and
complete
dedication
to
continually
learn,
grow
and
expand
within
the
field.
I
listen
and
become
a
part
of
their
daily
lives.
I
earn
that
trust
and
am
grateful
I
can
bring
health,
growth
and
balance
in
to someone's
life.

health
and
