Meet Mindy Garrett,
the Founder of Mind + Body Elite.
Mindy is a certified Precision Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer, with a Bachelors in Health Sciences and an author with an extensive background in business and education. She founded her company, Mind & Body Elite, on a mission to help ambitious men and women create habits that simplify healthy eating and exercise so they can kickstart their health & fitness, get strong, eat healthy, lose weight and feel great, one small step at a time.
A Washington native, she enjoys living life to its fullest. She loves animals and spending time with her pup Pacey, being outdoors, and rarely steers away from a good challenge. She believes a life lived in balance is a healthy and happy one, and she believes we can all achieve it.
An athlete and active person, her world turned upside down twelve years ago after undergoing two back surgeries in the course of one month as a result of ruptured discs. This is when she discovered the power of small steps and how by focusing on one small step and 1% improvements each day you can create a foundation for a lifetime of wellness. It made all the difference. During her year of recovery she not only regained full mobility, she surpassed doctor’s expectations, running her first half marathon. It was during that time she discovered the key to living healthier and happier was not spending hours in the gym or cutting out the foods you love, it was simplifying healthy habits. And today she shares these same principles with her clients, teaching them how to live healthier and happier, one small step at a time.
Mindy firmly believes the three pillars to a healthy and happy life are to eat healthy, move daily, and live happily. She has taken what is often a complicated and overwhelming process and broken it down into small, simple, and satisfying steps for lasting results. Today Mindy is on a mission to make sure every busy man and woman who wants to lose weight and feel great has the tips, tools and support they need to do it. And make it last.
Mindy is the co-author of 1 Habit For A Thriving Home Office, available now on Amazon. This life changing book features 475 pages with over 70 habits to help you THRIVE!
