EYC student Tamara Wright recently had a huge success — a 100-pound weight loss. A student of Courtney, Tamara has attended the Monday afternoon classes religiously. As we watched her body transform over the past year, it was fun to see her progress.
You are an actress, appearing frequently on stages in town – what is your “real life” job and how do you manage to juggle your work with your acting AND with all of your new lifestyle changes?
Juggle is definitely the right word to describe my life!
By day I work as an Inventory Analyst at Medtronic Spinal/Biologics, where we have a lovely on site gym which offers yoga classes. When job stresses take their toll, I make sure to fit one into my day.
I try to squeeze in workouts on my lunch break, to leave my evenings open for rehearsal, clients or playing with my pups.
My life’s passion is split between my work as a massage therapist, actress and Chihuahua mama. Theatre and massage therapy feed my need to touch people’s lives with an immediacy that I don’t get to experience in the corporate world. And a kiss from one of my four Chi’s is the perfect way to start and end the day.
How do you spoil or pamper yourself?
One of the joys of having a new body is gaining a new wardrobe. I’ve always been a clothes horse and many rewards along the weight loss journey have been of the fashion variety. But when I need something extra special, I schedule a massage. I also have a standing monthly appointment with my reflexologist and bi-monthly visits with my chiropractor with on-site massage therapy. I am blessed to know many talented LMT’s and encourage everyone to do themselves a favor and make massage/bodywork a regular part of their life.
