ALL ABOUT THE COACH:

Hi, I’m Coach Alli! I was born and raised in sunny Southern California, and now I’m raising my own not so little ones here, too. I got married and had kids young, and honestly, it was the best decision I’ve ever made. But along the way, I lost myself. I spent 12 years focused on taking care of my family, thinking I’d have time for ME later, only to realize that neglecting my own needs wasn’t just hurting me—it was hurting my family too.

I know what you're thinking: how in the world can you take care of yourself when you're juggling being a mom, a wife, running the house, and everything else? It feels like an impossible task. Believe me, I’ve been there. I’ve lived it. Im still living it. And now, after all of the struggles, I can tell you with complete certainty: taking care of you is one of the best things you can do for your family.

I had my “aha” moment at a moms’ group, sitting in a room full of unfamiliar faces, when I met my now-amazing friend. To say she saved my life feels like an understatement. But if you ask her, she’d probably say I did the same for her. We were both drowning in motherhood, and somehow, God knew we needed each other. He placed us in the room together. At the same table. At the seats right next to each other. That was when I realized: we’re not meant to walk this journey alone. We’re meant to do it together.

As our friendship grew I would talk about how I wanted to help women connect and how I wanted to coach women though life and mother hood through workouts and events. And she would always say go for it, that is your gift you are amazing at it!

But being me, I was nervous and scared of failing and 2020 hit. No one was getting together and I was home with my kids and all activities were cancelled. I was going crazy in my own life! Realizing other moms were going crazy too and they wanted a few moments of entertainment for their kiddos. So I put on my big girl panties and said “I will start a little class for kids.” It was these little “PE” classes I held in back yard at my home were parents could sit and chat with other parents and their kids could get their wiggles out. I had about 25 kids a week! I would have amazing conversations with parents afterwards about their kids and they would talk about their struggles and I would give me insight, not realizing God was nudging me . 

As the world started to open more and more kids activities again and my littles were starting school, I saw another need. Swim lessons. My parents had a pool so I thought lets do it! I changed my business from PE to Swim lessons and I am now going on year 5 of lessons! I have a full schedule every summer and I am shocked every year! Again I would find myself talking with parents about life and how things were going with raising their littles and would get asked many questions, from “why won’t they just go under water?” to “how do I get my kid to sleep through the night?” to “what do you recommend for working out?” Again knock knock this is what you are suppose to be doing!

I knew that I needed to do something to help moms and women but didn’t know what. But it all changed for me March 1, 2023 I underwent surgery for the gastric sleeve. And let me tell you, it was the most life changing thing I have ever experienced. I realized I had a huge addiction to food and it was my coping mechanism. I lost over 80lbs in one year. I know people think it is a magic pill but girl let me tell you, it was the hardest thing I have done ever for myself. I had to work extremely hard and I am so proud of myself. During the 1st 3 months I realized so much about myself. How strong I was, how weak I was, how I lost myself and didn’t see my whole worth. Carrying 80lbs extra I didn’t realize how much it was holding me back from playing and enjoying life with my kids. It was not about the mirror, I was happier to look in it a little more now but the fact I was playing and not laying around tired, I cry thinking…”I gave my kids the mom the deserve to have!” 

Through this I had a team, doctors yes but more importantly my friends and husband. I had  their support, I had them checking in on me, watching my kids, encouraging me every step of the way. I realized again this is not meant to do alone. God tugging again on my heart… Alli this is what I am calling you to do… DO IT!

So you see I always knew deep down, I’ve had a calling to connect with women and help them through the ups and downs of this crazy, beautiful life as a mom.

I know God gave me this presence. I just never understood what to do with it. I now know it's a gift, —a listening ear and a heart for supporting others. But what do I do with it? How do I start? 

After much prayer, and with some major support from my family and friends. I created Coach Alli Together we Thrive! Coaching women through this wild ride of life. Whether it’s working out, nutrition, events, or just a simple check-in, I’m here to help guide you through this wild adventure!
