Tonja is a life-long people lover who’s spent decades using this to help people with their health, finances, relationships, and lives overall. She started her career as a hospital wellness director where her passion for nutrition, fitness, and squeezing every drop of life out of each day took root and has grown from there. She’s a certified nutrition and fitness professional who focuses on DNA based wellness and a personalized approach to the pillars of wellness: eating, exercise, stress support, sleep, and supplementation. More importantly, she’s on a mission to help people realize their core need goes beyond the physical, mental, or emotional and is at the spiritual level. 

She married her husband, Bengie, in 1989 and they have two beautiful children, Sara and Ben, who are now grown. 

As a family, they’ve experienced high levels of success in business, academics, and sports. Both Sara and Ben were collegiate athletes with numerous accolades and championships. Bengie and Tonja have seen the highest level of success in their industry. Their greatest success, however, is their family which has grown to include a son-in-law, Avery, and a daughter-in-law, Kylie. Ben and Kylie added Nellie Jane in 2023 which has thrilled them all. 

In addition to the beautiful things in life, Tonja has experienced tremendous trauma and pain. In a 7 year period, she’s experienced loss after loss with the ultimate blow coming in 2023 when Bengie moved to heaven. She knows suffering but also knows the path to healing and is walking that path each day. 

Her life’s mission is to share the message of #L2F (lost to found) and the hope of Jesus through everything she does. 
She speaks about leadership, nutrition, wellness, and her faith in groups both large and small.
