Hey, I’m Samantha.
I have been married to my husband Justin for 6 years now and have a
crazy son Waylon who is almost 2. We
have two fur babies that create a great dynamic, our cat Jada and our dog Roxxxie. I was born and raised in Iowa where I grew up
on a farm. While in high school I participated on the dance team and used it to
stay in great shape. After high school I
went through cosmetology school, and that is where I met my husband. After cosmetology school I completed massage
therapy school, learning various types of massage. After
Justin finished his Navy schooling in South Carolina he was stationed in Hawaii
and brought me along for the trip. I found myself managing a salon with very
little motivational downtime. After the
first trip to Hawaii we moved to Virginia, where I worked in a high energy
salon and occasionally worked out with a friend. After Virginia we were lucky enough to pull
shore duty in Hawaii. I was grateful for
a second chance here. Shortly after
returning I became pregnant with
Waylon. After my pregnancy I found most
of the clothes in my closet didn’t fit anymore and decided that it was time to
get back in shape. It was at this point
that I was finally introduced to Stroller Strides. I was instantly addicted and my only regret
was that I hadn’t started sooner. I was
able to enjoy being outside in beautiful Hawaii, meet supportive women,
entertain Waylon, and make some really great friends. I even find myself looking forward to my
mornings (even though I have never really considered myself a morning
person). I am excited to spread my
addiction for exercise and help others to reach their own goals!
