About

Hi, I’m Shenie of Shenie Christian Wellness

I’m a Jesus-inspired NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, wife, mom of three, and proud Holy Spirit Hype Woman.

But before all that, I was a tired, overwhelmed woman trying to do it all — wife life, mom life, military life — and still somehow find myself again.

💫 My Turning Point

A few years ago, my family took a trip overseas to Portugal. It was one of those dream vacations — full of laughter, love, and way too many pastries. But when I got home and looked at the photos, I didn’t recognize the woman smiling back. I knew I had put on some weight, but I hadn’t realized how much I’d let myself go — physically, mentally, and spiritually.

My joints ached. My energy was gone. My anxiety and panic attacks were becoming the norm. At the time, I didn’t know I had ADHD — I just knew my mind never stopped, and my body couldn’t keep up.

I’ve struggled with my weight since I was 17. By 20, I was married and a new mom. Within two years, I’d gone from high school graduate to military wife to mother — trying to hold it all together while my husband was away serving our country.

Like many of us, I tried everything: the yo-yo diets, the extreme workouts, the pills, the supplements, the late-night “maybe this will finally work” gimmicks. I even remember watching The Biggest Loser one night, desperate to get my 17-year-old body back. I was 35 then, living with my parents while my husband was on another deployment, two boys five years apart, and just… exhausted.

That night, I prayed out loud:
“God, what am I supposed to do with my life? How can I take care of myself and still help others?”

And I heard it clear as day — “You need to go to school to become a personal trainer so you can help others.”

That moment changed everything.

🌻 The Journey Since

By 2017, I was working at my dream job — a boutique gym where I trained others and finally felt like I was walking in my purpose. I was in the best shape of my life, inside and out.

Then in 2018, I became pregnant with my third (and final!) baby — my sweet Adalynn. I worked out through my pregnancy, ate pretty healthy (cravings and all), and had my healthiest delivery and fastest recovery ever. My body bounced back strong — but even more importantly, my faith did too.

Then came another season of testing. By January 2025, I found myself back at 210 pounds, not pregnant this time, just tired — physically and spiritually.
At 5’5”, that’s a lot for my frame to carry, and I could feel it in my joints, my energy, and my confidence.

But this time, something was different.
I didn’t try to fix it my way.
I gave it to God.

I stopped chasing perfection and started focusing on obedience.
I stopped trying to control everything and started inviting Him into everything — my meals, my workouts, my mindset, my rest.

And that’s where true transformation began.

✝️ Why I Do What I Do

That’s how Shenie Christian Wellness was born — out of my own process of surrender, healing, and rediscovering what it really means to treat your body as God’s holy design.

My mission is to help believers stop striving and start stewarding. To help you reconnect to God, realign your habits, and rebuild your strength from the inside out.

I work with Christians of all ages and backgrounds — not just women over 40 — who feel ready to let God lead their health journey once and for all.

This is faith meets fitness. Grace meets grit.
And your past no longer has power over your progress.

💛 Who I Am Outside the Gym

I’ve been married to my husband— a retired Navy Senior Chief — for over 20 years, and somehow he’s still my favorite human. Life with him has been full of adventure, sacrifice, laughter, and a whole lot of grace.

We’re raising three incredible kids, each with their own personality and sparkle:

Gamer (21) — driven, intelligent, and on the brink of graduating college. Watching him grow into the man God is shaping him to be has been one of my greatest joys.

Bear (16) — my funny, big-hearted teen who keeps me grounded, keeps me laughing, and definitely keeps me humble.

Baby Love (7) — our joyful, creative spark. She brings color, curiosity, and pure delight into every room she enters.

Our home wouldn’t be complete without our fur babies either. Melah, our one-eyed cat, just turned 10 on Halloween and rules the house like the queen she is. And then there’s Bean, our tiny black pug puppy — the newest member of the family and the most recent reminder that sleep is optional. He joined us this month as a very special 16th birthday gift and has already stolen all our hearts.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll usually find me outside — camping with my family and friends, walking along the beach, or sitting by a fire under the stars. I love music, singing in the car, makeup, sunshine on my face, and laughter that makes your stomach hurt.

Lifting weights is my therapy. Being in God’s presence is my peace.
When I’m moving my body, praying, and worshiping through wellness — that’s when I feel most alive, most aligned, and most like the woman God created me to be.

💬 My Heart for You

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you don’t recognize the person staring back…
If you’ve ever prayed for strength but felt stuck in the same habits…
If you’ve ever tried everything to feel better — physically, mentally, spiritually — but nothing seems to last…
I see you. Because I’ve been you.

I know what it’s like to love God deeply, yet still feel like your body and your faith are out of sync.
To want to honor Him with your health, but feel lost, tired, and overwhelmed by where to start.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned — God never asked you to do this alone.
He’s not waiting for you to be perfect.
He’s waiting for you to partner with Him.

When you give Him the same energy you’ve been giving the guilt, the diets, and the striving — everything changes.
Your body gets stronger.
Your mind finds peace.
And your spirit begins to rise again.

I don’t believe in quick fixes or “before-and-after” moments.
I believe in faith and follow-through — showing up daily with discipline, grace, and prayer.
Because transformation isn’t just about what you lose — it’s about what you gain: confidence, joy, peace, and purpose.

My heart for you is simple —
I want to help you rebuild from the inside out.
To help you stop fighting your body and start stewarding it.
To remind you that healing isn’t about hustle — it’s about His timing.

You don’t have to chase the old version of you.
God is calling you to become the healthiest version of who you are in Him — right here, right now.

So take a deep breath.
You’re not behind.
You’re being rebuilt.
And I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13
