Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Monashay Bell. I am a

Certified Personal trainer and Wellness Coach.
 

This business was born from my personal wellness journey. In my early teens, I began struggling with body image, constantly comparing myself to other girls my age and never feeling small enough. I was an athlete with a naturally curvy build, but no matter how hard I worked, I couldn’t reach the unrealistic standard I set for myself.
 

Over time, that mindset grew into something much deeper. My desire to be as slim as possible turned into excessive exercise and a toxic relationship with food. Looking back, I would call it

an un-diagnosed eating disorder.
 

From the outside, I appeared disciplined and in control. But in reality, I was on the verge of falling apart. That “control” was the only way I knew how to hold everything together. No one knew how much I was struggling. I carried so much shame and guilt, convinced that no one would truly understand the depth of

what I was going through. So I kept it all in until I couldn’t anymore.

 

That was my breaking point.
 

At the time, I went from extreme restriction to the complete opposite. I was binge eating frequently, over exercising to compensate, and purging to try to regain control. My self discipline was gone, and my self esteem was completely shattered. It was the lowest I had ever felt.
 

What I didn’t fully understand at the time was that these struggles were rooted in something much deeper, pain I

would later have to confront. In my darkest moment, the

Lord met me. He is the reason I am still standing today.
 

After that breaking point, I began my true healing journey.

People rarely talk about how hard healing really is, it is

painful. It required me to dig up the roots, to face everything

I had buried, and to rebuild from the inside out.
 

Years later, after having my son, my healing was tested in a

new way. My body had changed. I was the biggest I had ever been, for the most beautiful reason. But I knew I needed to approach my weight loss differently this time. I couldn’t go

back to who I used to be.
 

That’s when Faithfully Her Wellness was born.
 

The system I created during my postpartum journey helped

me lose 25 pounds. But beyond the numbers, I built a sustainable method that met me where I was , as a new mom

and full-time worker. This is the same method I now use to

guide my clients.

 

To me, true wellness, the way God intended, starts from

within. It's not about shaping ourselves to match the world's standard. It's about honoring our unique journey of health. One that focuses on true well-being, which looks different for every single one of us. We are called to care for our bodies as

temples, with love, compassion, and grace for all they have carried us through as we grow, have children, and evolve.
