Noelle Tarr
Noelle is the chick behind Coconuts & Kettlebells. She has a serious obsession for cooking and consuming amazing food, any product that can be made from coconut oil, and her considerably large, but very necessary collection of workout shoes. And that’s her in a nutshell. I created Coconuts & Kettlebells to provide insight on redefining the basics of what real human food and fitness looks like. I passionately believe gaining unwanted weight, struggling with depression or emotional instability, and being in a state of constant sickness and disease is NOT normal for the human body. There is a better way to find happiness, health, fitness, and natural leanness WITHOUT restrictive “diets” or prescription pills – and the public deserves to know. My ultimate goal is to make achieving health easy to understand. I have a BA in Public Relations from Gardner-Webb University, and I’m currently studying to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the NTA while stationed with my husband and puppy in Annapolis, MD. He’s a Marine. And she’s a Boxer. And they’re both the loves of my life. Since graduating college, My full-time corporate job has been in the running and triathlon industry. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working with people to help them find the right shoes, gear, and accessories based on their biomechanical movement patterns and injuries. I’ve also worked with organizations like Semper FIT (United States Marine Corps) and corporate health departments to do on-site health and fitness presentations and training. Let’s just say – I’ve touched a TON of feet. Sexyyy.
