Welcome! I’m Cherise Mazur, a busy working mom of two teenagers, a white boxer named Rocco, and I’ve been married to my husband Todd since 2003.
Growing up, I constantly struggled with weight and body image. I tried every fad diet, dealt with food restrictions, obsessive exercise, and binge eating—I’ve experienced it all. After having my daughter, I realized I needed a sustainable lifestyle change—not just for myself but for my family. I wanted to set a healthy example and have the energy to keep up with my kids.
I started educating myself about nutrition (thanks to Google and fitness magazines!) and found 30-minute home workouts that fit into my busy schedule. With dedication, I lost the baby weight and an additional 20 pounds, fueling my passion for health and wellness.
I just felt better! That's when I knew we were designed to feel good.
Guess what?! You can too!
With my guidance and expertise we can create the healthy lifestyle that will free you from restrictions, excessive exercise and arm you with the knowledge you need to continue with your personalized plan.
Nutrition
Growing up in an Italian family, home-cooked meals were a staple, but I wanted to recreate those beloved dishes in a healthier way. Nutrition is the cornerstone of my coaching and I love sharing my healthier version recipes.
I’m passionate about sharing simple, healthy recipes for busy moms—or anyone looking to eat well without the fuss. Cooking is not just a necessity for me; it’s a therapeutic and creative outlet, especially when I’m whipping up healthy alternatives to satisfy my sweet tooth!
On my blog, you’ll find a variety of recipes, from breakfast to dinner, including vegetarian and vegan options, snacks, and plenty of desserts. I also share meal prep tips because I truly believe that planning ahead is key to reaching your health and fitness goals!
Exercise
My passion for fitness led me to become a certified group fitness instructor with ACE, a personal trainer through AAAI, and TRX certified. I also design personalized fitness plans to help clients reach their goals effectively. But what I’m most excited about is being an RYT-500 hour yoga instructor! Teaching yoga allows me to share its many benefits to my clients, including breathing and mindfulness techniques for stress management, which are crucial for overall health.
My education through The Institute of Integrative Nutrition has led me to my work as a Holistic Health Coach, thanks to my education with IIN I have also IIN accreditations in Hormone Health, Gut Health and NBHWC. I’m dedicated to helping others who struggle as I did—and sometimes still do—by guiding them towards a healthier, more balanced life.
In my free time you can find me with my family at the beach in the summer, biking, walking our boxer Rocco, or traveling—an absolute must for me! I love practicing yoga, savoring a good glass of wine with pizza, and indulging in anything peanut butter and chocolate—I’ll never give those up! And yes, I’ve been a Justin Timberlake fan since the N’Sync days and always will be.
I’m so excited that you’re here, and I can’t wait to support you on your wellness journey to better health. Let’s create a balanced, vibrant life together!
