My Story.

Hey, I’m Deanna—mom, coach, and the heart behind EMPWRD MVMT.

I help women—especially moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or simply trying to find themselves again—regain their strength, confidence, and energy. Whether your goal is to lose fat, gain muscle, or just feel like you again, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you, and remind you who you are in Christ.

This calling became clear to me after losing my dad in 2016. He was just 54, and watching him struggle with his health most of my life lit a fire in me. About a year after his passing, I visited his grave—and in that quiet moment, the Lord whispered that this pain would propel me into my purpose: helping women live with vitality, joy, and the confidence to steward their bodies well.

I was born without my right arm, so I know a thing or two about adapting, pushing past limits, and refusing to believe the lie that "I can’t." My whole life has taught me to get creative, stay resilient, and lead with grace—and I bring that same energy to every woman I coach. Because no matter your size, your season, or your story—you are able.

At EMPWRD MVMT, we believe your body is a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and that fitness is about so much more than how you look—it's about how you live. You’ll find a mix of functional movement, mind-body connection, real conversation, and faith-centered encouragement inside every workout, challenge, and coaching session.

I'm not here to preach perfection. I’m here to help you move forward, one powerful, grace-filled step at a time.

You ready to feel strong again? Let’s do this—together.
