Meet Mindy Garrett,

Founder of Mind + Body Elite,

and Your Health & Fitness Coach. 

I use my experience as a teacher, business manager, entrepreneur, and health and fitness coach to help busy men and women create healthy habits that simplify healthy eating and exercise so they can transform their bodies, restore their confidence, and live a life they love in a body they are proud of.

​

​

A Washington native I enjoy living life to its fullest. I love animals and spending time with my pup Pacey, any activity outdoors and rarely steer away from a good challenge. I believe a life lived in balance is a healthy and happy one, and I believe we can all achieve it.

 

​

It hasn't always been easy for me though. I know what it's like to feel frustrated, discouraged, and stuck in a body that doesn't feel right. After going through three back surgeries as a result of ruptured discs, I understand the hopelessness, fear, and challenge of getting back to a healthy place. It was through these experiences along with my education and experience that I created a healthy lifestyle plan that is simple, satisfying and sustainable. 

 

​

I believe the three pillars to a healthy and happy life are to eat healthy, move daily, and live happy. And that is why I have taken what is often an overwhelming and complicated process and made it realistic, rewarding and fun. I help my clients ditch perfection so they can realize progress and start living healthier and happier now. My mission is to make sure every busy man and woman who wants to lose weight and feel great has the support they need to do it. Let's make your goals a reality, together!

Education
 

I have over 15 years experience in the education field, including work with youth and families, developmental and supportive nutrition, and health & fitness program design. In 2013 I founded Mind + Body Elite, with a passion to help others live healthier and happier by giving them the tools to eat healthy, move daily, and reduce stress so they can reach their goals and live a life they love. What makes me unique is my background and experience. I have worked in both public and private schools, in physical therapy clinics, and provided a variety of custom programming in areas of health, fitness and nutrition. My specialties include fitness programming with an emphasis on functional movement and injury prevention, working with individuals in post injury care, youth health & fitness programming, and healthy living and weight loss programs for men and women over 40.
