Owner • Health Coach

I have been working with The Ideal Weigh since its beginning in 2008 as the first Ideal Protein clinic in South Dakota. Before coming to Ideal Weigh I was working as a health coach and personal trainer. The results I would see with clients were good, but since being with The Ideal Weigh I have seen the most incredible, life-changing results. Over the years I have helped people reach goals of losing 10 lbs up to over 300 lbs, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the weight-loss. The life-changing transformations I see make me feel like I have the most fun and rewarding career, and I cannot imagine doing anything else! My interest and passion has always been in health coaching and fitness, and I feel blessed to be able to live this passion out every day helping people lose weight, improve their health, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Health Coach • Sioux Falls

I love my job! I started as a receptionist/administrative staff for Ideal Weigh in February of 2013. I watched clients come to us and have such great success that my husband and I became dieters. We loved the diet! I felt so inspired by the coaching and encouragement I received, I wanted to be a part of that too. I have always liked to help people and I now feel with the success I have had and the knowledge about the diet that I can be a good coach too. I trained to become a coach and now I have both duties. The people I work with here are wonderful people, plus we have such a great program to offer our clients, it is a blessing for me and job that I continue to enjoy.

Health Coach • Sioux Falls

I was introduced to Ideal Protein by my doctor about 9 years ago and was successful in losing close to 50 pounds. This was life changing for me as it inspired me to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Not only did I find wonderful support from the Ideal Weigh coaches and learn a great deal about ways to make more healthy food choices, but I also discovered a new lifestyle that helped me to be successful on my weight loss journey. Since then, my interest in health and wellness has continued to grow. I am passionate about helping others on their wellness journey, and feel blessed to be a part of that as a coach at The Ideal Weigh.

Health Coach • Yankton

I have been a health coach in Yankton for 3 years. I began my weight loss journey with Ideal Weigh in February 2016 after trying countless other programs. I lost over 40 lbs so I know firsthand that the program works. I love my job! Not only do I get to meet new people, I get to teach them to eat healthy at the same time. Encouraging my clients to stick to the Ideal Protein protocol helps them achieve their goals quicker. I look forward to new clients and working with all the current dieters in the Yankton community as they continue their journey to a healthier lifestyle. I feel very blessed to be a part of this awesome team. My amazing husband of 32.5 years (Merrick) and I have 5 adult kids and they have given us 16 beautiful grand children and 5 grand dogs and 2 grand cats.
