DMM Fitness And Nutrition

My Philosophy:

My goal is to help you reclaim your body and achieve your best health, so you can gain the confidence you need to live your life to the fullest!  As a personal trainer and a holistic nutritionist, I can provide you with the tools, education, personalized accountability and support you need to make permanent changes in your life.  The best results come with a positive mindset, consistent effort, and hard work. 

Through the last 19 years, I’ve gained and acquired education and experience in various areas of health and wellness. My background in fitness and holistic nutrition, combined with my own health struggles have given me the experience to coach a variety of clients. Society’s high and often unrealistic expectations created a desire for me to attain an “ideal body”.  I felt pressure to achieve this “ideal body” as a fitness instructor and wellness coach. I tried all the trendy and restrictive diets but ultimately, my body paid the price.  I suffered a plethora of many health issues during this time in my life. Now I’ve arrived at a place where I believe that a balanced life is important.  Moderate exercise and doing the things I love while concentrating on a whole food diet has helped me achieve this balance. Healing my body has fueled my passion for helping others through this holistic and comprehensive view of health. I’ve learned the components that create a healthy lifestyle which are balanced, enjoyable and sustainable.

Hello! I’m Doris and I'm a busy mother of 3 kids and an Army wife. I am a carb lover who turned into a fitness and nutritional coach.

In 2012, I had a wake-up call when my then seven-year-old son challenged me in a race up the stairs. I could not believe that I couldn’t run up the stairs without being winded and huffing and puffing by the end. I realized how out of shape I was, and I was depressed and devastated about my condition. That day, I decided to make a change and I promised myself and my family to do something about my health and fitness! 

With a combination of healthy nutrition and a strict exercise regimen, I changed my life and achieved my fitness goals. I grew up not liking vegetables, and like so many of us, I enjoyed eating high-carb foods which are addicting for many. So, what did I do? I took the first steps to get healthy by modifying my diet. I started incorporating more vegetables, mainly greens into my diet every day. I ate carbs in moderation, and I carefully watched my sugar intake and fat consumption. I minimized “unhealthy” carbs and started working out. I participated in my first 5km, 10km, and half marathons around my local community. My journey began when I got out and started moving!

My journey was not an easy one. However, once I saw the changes and results of all my hard work, I knew I was on the right path, and there was no turning back. Thanks to these little changes, I lost 50 pounds in six months and was able to get in the best shape of my life.

I'm ready to help you achieve your individual fitness and nutrition goals. It's never too late to get healthy or get the body you want.

My Story:

I started in the Fitness and Health industry as a personal trainer in 2013.  I worked in gyms as a personal trainer and wellness coach in El Paso Texas, Jacksonville, Florida, and the DC metro area.  As a military wife, I have been resilient to the many changes and challenges that encompass Army life.  Every 2-3 years, we had to move and start our lives again in a new, unfamiliar location.  The military life has brought many new people with different needs into my life, and I wanted to make a deep impact in the lives of people around me. 

My WHY:

My conviction is that a person's lifestyle and high-quality nutrition have healing properties. I have experienced the impact of adequate exercise combined with nutrition in my own life and I have witnessed the amazing changes others have achieved as well under my coaching and training.  My mission and passion are to share my story, knowledge, and expertise so that you can get to the root cause of your health issues and support your body naturally. During 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic created an extremely difficult time for many people, but it has allowed me new opportunities to connect with others in a different way.  During this time, I began my new small business with virtual training where

I worked with clients virtually from all over the U.S.  I was able to continue living out my passion and make an impact on clients virtually.
