Hey everyone!
My name is Gemma Paulsen. I was born in the UK (hence my name), but moved to Canada when I was only 3, and then to the US when I was 5. I currently live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and love it here!
My fitness and healthy living journey started when I was quite young. You may not see it now, but I was a bit overweight as a kid and got teased quite a bit. It only got worse as I became a teenager, until I decided one day that I needed to do something about it.
My mom had a dietician friend who was also a personal trainer, and she took me under her wing and well, changed my life! I learned to eat healthier (don’t worry, I still eat cake… and donuts… and, well…) and how to create an exercise routine that works for ME.
I currently teach classes at a local fitness studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and am back in school working on an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics. I’m also a certified personal trainer, and have several fitness coaching certifications as well.
My goal in life is to help others look and feel their absolute best!
Coming from a background of being teased and bullied, I KNOW how so many people feel about their weight and overall lifestyles. So my goal is to provide you with the resources and coaching to get over the hump finally!
So take a look around my website and don’t hesitate to reach out! I have recently hired a local company to assist me in maintaining this site and add more content. I also have a products area that you can check out! These are simply products (supplements mostly) that I use, or have my clients using. I fully endorse all of them, and I do earn a small commission from each sale, which helps me do more of what I love… helping others!
Much love,
Gemma
PS: No, I don’t have a British accent. lol I left the UK when I was only 3 and basically grew up here in the US!
About This Website
I started this website for several reasons. The biggest reason is to share information with my friends, family and clients. It’s easier for me to send a link and say “hey, go read this article”, or “hey, here’s a link to a supplement I recommend” than to have long-winded email or text conversations!
I also use this website to get new 1-on-1 coaching clients, although honestly most of that is done word of mouth.
Lastly, I hired an awesome local company Clear Creek Media to host and operate this website for me. They also help me with Google and Facebook ads that I run for getting new clients, and even for promoting some of my favorite products. I just want to make that very clear… I do have help and couldn’t do this alone!
