A little about me
Hi! I’m Ebonique!
I also answer to Coach Ebby, or Captain Barbie (as my fellow service members like to call me), and I’m here to help you feel good about yourself again – or maybe for the first time.
I tell my clients all the time that they need to get comfortable with getting uncomfortable. Self-improvement work often forces us to dig deep into why we do the things we do. When we uncover the why the how comes naturally. This is the exciting part of what I do! When we’re no longer afraid of being uncomfortable, that’s when the magic starts to happen, and we start to see lasting change.
I help my clients unleash their own magic and take control of their lives. With me as your champion, cheerleader, motivator, coach, trainer, and friend, there’s no limit to what you can do!
When I’m not coaching or training, you might find me with my kids or grandkids (yes, I’m a grandma!), shopping, traveling or even on the hunt for some New York-style pizza, or some smoked gouda mac and cheese. All things in moderation, right?! I’m real, and I’m really here for you.

As a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and a Certified Personal Trainer, I see first-hand the difference fitness (or a lack thereof) makes in people’s lives. When I talk about fitness, I’m not talking about being skinny or fitting into that two-piece swimsuit. I’m talking about the mental and psychological benefits that happen when we move (or don’t move) our bodies. Our bodies were made to move, and when we take good care of ourselves, we not only see results in the mirror, but we experience the results of feeling really good on the inside.
