DEBORAH PEDDLE-HANN,
Owner/Fitness & Wellnes Specialist/Your Biggest Cheerleader
Deborah is not only the founder and owner of Journey to Wellness, but she is the heart soul and face of the business. She has been working in the fitness industry since 2007 and has made it her life mission to help as many people as possible live their healthiest and best life. In fact, she was helping people with their nutrition & fitness struggles when she used to work in the corporate world so this has ALWAYS been her passion.
After her first child was born almost 18 years ago, Deborah went into one of the biggest slumps of her life and had to dig her way out how she knew felt best, nutrition, exercise, self-care and making her health the priority.
When her daughter turned three, Deb knew that it was time to turn her passion into something tangible ... and she never looked back! Now a Mom of three and busy business owner, she knows first hand how difficult it can be to "do it all" but has learned that with a few planning tools and mindset switches, it is possible to make healthy eating and exercising a normal part of your life.

Deb's note - Jenn is being modest. She is actually a life saver and helps me keep my "sh**" together when I get scattered. She helps me work ON my business so I can spend more time where it really matters to me, with my clients and members.
