THE UNFOLDING OF FITNUT 

​TRANSFORMING PAIN INTO PURPOSE

I started the brand FITNUT in 2014 after returning from an extensive period of time in Southeast Asia. Toward the end of my 6 month stay, I experienced a painful breakup with my partner of two years and was feeling very isolated with moments of great sadness.  I decided to volunteer with a children’s orphanage outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia with the hopes of becoming elevated enough to feel some lightness again. I was incredibly moved by my experience.  My inspiration felt by the kids and workers at the orphanage motivated me to create a brand that not only helps people but has a giving- back component.

​FITNUT = FITNESS + NUTRITION

I was inspired to build a brand that focused on what matters most to me: FITNESS, NUTRITION, TRAVEL and GIVING BACK.

​ GLOBAL VISION & IMPACT

Upon my return to NYC after that trip, I started working with the Cambodian Community Dream Association (CCDO) and was named an ambassador to their organization in which I raised more money through fundraising events in NYC. Now, I take a percentage of annual sales and donate to a variety of organizations.

Since the existence of FITNUT, we have raised over $10,000 independently through fundraising efforts that I have executed for various organizations in Cambodia.

FITNUT today is a fusion brand of private personal training, nutrition coaching, group fitness, charity work, and luxury fitness retreats around the globe.  ​
