ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Brittany B. Pederson. I am a certified Holistic Nutritionist, USPTA certified tennis professional, certified personal trainer, a mom of 3, and has a story like everyone else. I have played competitive tennis basically my whole life and went on to play Division 1 for my University. Tennis has shaped my life in many ways, but the most important gift that the sport gave to me was the understanding that anything you want to be great at takes effort, discipline, and perseverance as well an understanding that patience and giving yourself grace is part of the process.
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Cal State Northridge and majored in kinesiology, psychology and nutrition.My passion for nutrition and fitness started back when I was a teenager. Even though I was an athlete, I realized I wasn’t the girl who could eat just anything and be at the weight I felt comfortable. It was a blessing in disguise. I started paying attention to what I was eating, and as many teenage girls do though, it became an obsession. From that point I went from one diet to the next, working out like crazy and just felt like I was struggling to find what worked. When I was 16, my aunt and I were talking. She realized something was going on, and mentioned seeing a nutritionist to help with guidelines, knowledge and a plan.
I was hesitant, but accepted and I am so glad I did. The nutritionist I saw, told me I was eating way too little and working out way too much. My body was not working for me, it was working against me. I listened and she changed my life both physically and mentally. From that point I wanted to pass on the knowledge she gave me to help others struggling to find a healthy balance with food in their life.I then went into being passionate about the science behind food. It was amazing to realize nutrition affects our body in every way. I believe each individual is created differently and there isn’t one universal way. Fast forward to now being a busy single mom of 3, a woman that has gone through hormonal changes, and will continue to do so...I love being able to help women, men, teens and children know that at any age, you can feel good, look the way you want and enjoy the experience.It’s all about the choices we make. Life is a journey and we can only control so much. Obstacles are inevitable, but what they can do is make us into stronger versions of ourselves. What we feed and nourish ourselves with, and learning that we can love ourselves the way we deserve... this can only enhance your life.
