Hey there! My name is Isabelle Kansas Donaldson. I am the founder and owner of bk health and wellness. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach.

My journey with health and wellness is not linear; I don't know if anyone's is. I grew up in an active family. My dad, being a basketball coach and having four brothers who lived for competition, my parents joked that I was shooting hoops in the womb. Sports was my family's way of life, and I sure was accustomed to it. Until high school, when I decided to quit all sports, I felt burnt out and like it was no longer for me. Because I did not have very many other hobbies, I soon became very sedentary.

I didn't become aware of the toll it was taking on my physical, mental, and spiritual health until around three to four years later. Filled with fear because of my declining physical health, I decided I had a choice to make. Am I going to do something for myself and start moving and eating for the benefit of my body, or am I going to do nothing and live with this crippling anxiety? I decided I wanted to honor my body. I started with a challenge. "Run" is a strong word for what I was doing, but we will say run for the sake of myself and what I accomplished. Run a mile every day for a month. And start eating meals slower, and when I say slow, I mean slow. These were two things that, although they seemed daunting to me at the time, were habits I knew if I challenged myself, I could accomplish them. Because our bodies are so much stronger than we give them credit for. That was the start of my life completely changing. Completing those challenges and integrating two healthy habits into my life completely changed the course of my life and sparked a passion inside me. One of these made me want to help bring this shift in life to others. Encourage others that a healthy lifestyle can begin with one step and lead you to a life far from reachable. I am here to tell you it's not. It's within reach, and I would love nothing more than to walk alongside you and help you get to the places that seem most unreachable to you.

This is where bk health and wellness was found, from a heart that wanted to take what was learned and bring it to others. At bk I believe health begins within. With a simple thought, "I can do whatever I put my mind to because I am strong and have a strong body!" I am here to help you take all the steps needed to live a healthy, holistic, happy life. To encourage, hold accountable, and spur you on to the best of my ability.

I can't wait to work with you!
