Candy’s journey is one of strength, transformation, and resilience. A former three-sport athlete from Michigan, she moved to Indiana in 2008 and later made courageous life changes—quitting alcohol in 2019 and smoking in 2020.

While navigating those changes, she gained weight but found her way back to herself through Hot Yoga and HIIT Pilates. These practices helped her regain confidence, strength, and a deeper connection to her body.

After moving to Danville in 2022 and joining Fire Fitness, Candy found a supportive community that fueled her passion even more. She discovered aerial yoga in 2023 and was instantly hooked.

Following a breast cancer diagnosis in late 2023, Candy faced surgeries and recovery with determination. Today, she’s back, stronger than ever, and excited to share her journey—encouraging others to embrace their own strength and never give up. She also likes to rock out now and then.
