Personal Trainers, Health and Wellness Coach, Life Coach

A Thousand Oaks , CA native, Carrie Morgan attended Grossmont College in San Diego where she studied health sciences.  After spending several years working as an Emergency Medical Technician in San Diego, CA, Carrie saw firsthand how good health could have prevented the majority of illnesses she treated in her ambulance. 

Despite what she thought was an “active” lifestyle of her own consisting of lots of coffee and little food or sleep, Carrie discovered she was headed down the same path as her patients.  When her physician told her that she had high cholesterol in combination with a family history of health troubles, Carrie found herself as a candidate for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes at the early age of 29.

Furthermore, complications from endometriosis, a chronic autoimmune condition causing painfully debilitating adhesions and infertility, coupled with worsening asthma meant that Carrie was given the standard protocol of medications only to be followed by accompanying side effects with little improvement in how she felt.  These health challenges were instrumental in redirecting her passion towards natural holistic healing and women’s health & wellness.

Determined to make a change, Carrie turned trials into triumph finding proper nutrition and long distance running to be healing both physically and mentally. This life transformation is what lead Carrie to dedicate her life to others, educating and motivating people to live healthy and dynamic lives.

 

In 2003, Carrie traded emergency medicine for preventative medicine and became a nationally recognized Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NSAM) and Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach through the National Endurance & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA).

 

In 2007, Carrie was recruited by award-winning doctors at A Women’s Place OB / GYN in Henderson, NV to spearhead a program dedicated to educating women about prenatal and postnatal nutrition and exercise.  She was the lead Prenatal Nutritional Coach for the Platinum Mommies Program helping hundreds of women to achieve healthy pregnancies.

 

In 2012, Carrie added a Biblical Health Coach Certification from The Biblical Health Institute to her list of credentials.  With this advanced certification she crafted motivFIT’s Healthy Lifestyle Management Program, a comprehensive Bible-based holistic fitness, nutrition, and wellness program to help women achieve optimal health and wellness addressing all areas of the mind, body, and spirit.

Carrie is a published author and has written dozens of health and fitness articles including How a Little Bird Can Teach You How to Live the Healthy Life You Dream About and Living Naturally with Endometriosis.  Her specialties include women’s health, holistic wellness, and fitness nutrition.  She believes that the body is a gift from God and that we are to care for our bodies in thanksgiving to Him applying the principles given in His Word so that we can in turn glorify Him by living and loving vibrantly in service to others.  Carrie lives in Agoura Hills, California with her husband Jeff.
