My Story

Several years ago, I started a ministry at our church called, FITS (Get Fit in the Spirit Ministry). This ministry began before my last two kids were birthed, and it was a way to embrace body movement, equipping ourselves to become healthier temples serving God.


Aaaaannnddd…. 
I had baby fat to lose and what better way to do so than while fellowshipping and moving in fun with the people I love, my church family.
We would learn scriptures related to physical fitness, we would pray together, and we would work out together and even have weight loss challenges like what I do today.


Sooooo….
As the years went by, God kept revealing to me that this ministry would go beyond the four walls, extend past exercising, and would venture BIG Time into Spiritual growth, Physical well-being, and Mental release. It was in the midst of this pandemic that God began to open door after door prompting me to do more for our community by investing time in individuals and groups to help many to understand the importance of health and wellness in our everyday lives.  I thank God that in this pandemic, He has been flourishing this ministry to go beyond the walls, to push me out into the world and to meet the needs of people throughout this entire nation, from Alabama, to Mississippi, to Wisconsin, to Florida, to California, to Nevada, to Minnesota, to Virginia, to Georgia, to Texas, and the list goes on. 

 

What started as a small Wellness Entrepreneurship at the beginning of the pandemic, has since expanded into full out ministry, building helpful relationships and changing lives by changing mindsets towards a positive outlook on health, exercise, and nutritional food, all which go hand in hand.  

​

Within the 2 years spent strengthening my business and building my clientele and brand, God was steady speaking to me about the spiritual piece of this endeavor.  Hence, over the past few years, God has blessed me to write a book.  As the author of an Amazon #1 New Release book, entitled, IN HER IS STRENGTH, I have had the opportunity to share Christ throughout the four corners of the earth, motivating, inspiring, and transforming lives, by encouraging a closer walk with Christ, all under the GET FIT IN THE SPIRIT umbrella.  As God uses this ministry to enrich the lives of many throughout the nation and even in other countries where my book has now traveled, I yield my service to God, and yearn to be used by Thee to bring awareness of the importance of whole life health, in the physical, spiritual and mental realm. 


We Get Fit Better 2gether, so join Dr. Felisa and her Accountability Friends in Health and learn how you can enjoy your food, change your mood, and move with a groove IN WELLNESS!
