Hi friends! My name is Theresa and I’m so flattered to be February’s mom of the month.

I’m originally from Georgia, growing up north of Atlanta and moving south for college, where I met my partner, Dylan. After moving to Atlanta after school and working 60hr weeks with an hour plus commute each way, we decided to leave everything behind and escape to Mexico. We spent two magical years working remotely from the beach in Mexico before moving to beautiful San Diego, which has basically been just as magical as Mexico. We’ve been here for almost 8 years now.

We welcomed Karlo into our lives in July of 2021 and everything changed. Being Karlo’s mom has been my favorite thing to come thus far and I was so fortunate to stay at home with him for just over 2 years. That being said, the early days of motherhood and transition back to work were very challenging for me. I was so surprised at how isolating motherhood was at first and so grateful to stumble upon Fit4Mom in Balboa Park one Saturday morning when Karlo was 4 months old. The friends we’ve made have become like family to us both and I could never have imagined such a wonderful friend group.

When we’re not at class, Karlo and I love to listen to a good audiobook and go for a run. He’s helped me train for two half marathons now. Our family also loves to travel - from day trips, to weekend camping, to longer international trips, we’re always excited for the next adventure!
