Helping Others Get Healthy

Chemae Steven's grandparents, Josh and Barbara Wall had lived in Corbett for 32 years before her grandfather passed last summer. Chemae always knew that one day she also wanted her own family to live in the community. After three years of searching, she and husband Eric found just the "right" home. Living in Corbett the past seven years, both Chemae and Eric love the Corbett community and have been involved on many levels with their two children, Matt and Maddie. Chemae has been a librarian at the grade school, helped out in the classrooms, and helped support Eric with the Booster Club and putting on the Red and Black Dinner/Auction held each year. Although Chemae is slender and fit now, that was not always the case. Five years ago Chemae saw a gal in the community start losing some weight and asked her about it. Chemae was struggling with some serious health issues and needed to drop weight. After beginning the "Take Shape for Life" program, Chemae lost 32 lbs. in just three months. Her issues with diabetes and heart disease were now no longer a concern. Feeling better than she ever has after five years of keeping off all the weight, Chemae is driven to help others succeed as well. In fact, Eric recently came on board full time to join her career as a health coach in their business,"Fit for Me" (TSFL). Chemae says that together they take folks from a "surviving" lifestyle to a THRIVING one, restoring people's health, hopes and dreams. Personally, Chemae knows that goals and dreams are possible. In 1989 Chemae was an exchange student in college, going from OSU to Australia for a full school year. She says she became a certified scuba diver so that she could dive the Great Barrier Reef. This is an experience she will never forget, and she says she is drawn to help others set and reach their dreams and goals as well....whatever they may be!
