Women Running Series: Nothing Off Limits With Nutrition Expert Wendi Berger
Wendi Berger is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Nutrition Consultant, Personal Trainer, and Runner.
Wendi's journey into health and fitness started 28 years ago after many years of working in the restaurant and catering business.
In 1995, she graduated from The Desert Institute of Healing Arts in Tucson Arizona and received a Degree in massage therapy specializing in Sports/Deep Tissue Massage. She opened her own massage studio with the sole purpose of helping people heal their bodies through massage therapy. She soon realized that healing doesn’t just happen…It’s a process.
This led her to personal Training. In 2005 she was certified through NCSF and started training clients and teaching them how to take ownership of their own health and wellbeing through hard work, discipline and consistency. It was amazing for her learn that our bodies can do incredible things if we are willing to put in the time and effort. She saw clients quickly see that they are much stronger and capable than they give themselves credit for.
In 2013, she moved to Houston and established a new massage and training clientele. The first thing she did was join a gym and just by chance met some incredible women, all around her age who were triathletes. She had always been a gym rat but this was something entirely new and challenging. She decided that if they could make their bodies do what they were doing, then so could she. So she started training.
She soon realized that all of the training in the world wasn’t taking her anywhere without learning how to fuel her machine (body) correctly. So, she hired a nutritionist who changed her whole world!
The more she learned, the more she wanted to share with others.
She earned her nutrition certification through NAMS, and her new focus then became teaching people how to integrate good food and healthy habits into their daily lives.
Not everyone is an athlete, or a gym rat. Whether a person is a Mother, Father, Student or C.E.O, everyone’s primary goal is the same—to be healthy, fit and able to enjoy their time on this earth.
With WBWellness it is not only her job but her mission to be a coach and support system without judgement or pressure. Her job is to help anyone looking for positive change to recognize their goal, reach for it and succeed.
Life is short. It’s time to make the most of it and be the best YOU that YOU CAN BE!
