She's a tiny package of ambition, drive, compassion, strength, and heart who works incredibly hard to secure a bright future for her two boys.  Most importantly, she uses her knowledge of how the body and brain respond to movement in order to assist in her son's daily therapy. One of her twins, Dayton was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 13 months old as a result of injuries suffered from prematurity and has the same heart and tenacity as his mother.

Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, she grew up playing "killer man" (a street version of football), flipping over fences, and dancing in neighborhood talent shows. On the flip side of that tomboyish demeanor shines her femininity which is usually displayed through her nurturing spirit, love of cooking, making people smile, and cultivating a home for her sons.

 

Mommy... 

Farrah has been no stranger to adversity and has overcome several challenges throughout her own personal life. Helping others to look and feel their best is at the core of everything she does personally and professionally. Beginning with the death of her father in 2006, she experienced a consecutive series of major personal losses and traumas. Having very little time to recover from one painful event before another one would hit, she began fighting to find a source of relief for all of the frustration and turmoil that was happening to and around her.

In 2010 Farrah decided to join a gym as a way to relieve stress and developed a good rapport with a few of the trainers at the gym. The exposure gave her the opportunity to learn A LOT about technique and different training styles. It was then that her love affair with fitness began, hence the numbers "2010" hidden in the logo for the brand.

my story

Infatuated with the idea of being her own boss and exploring her creative nature, Farrah began pursuing a career in cosmetology in 2000. Her experience as a stylist would evolve into salon ownership and the foundation for the brand, which began as Remedy Salon.

Before tragically losing the father of her identical twin boys in August of 2013, Farrah acted as the behind the scenes business manager for his personal training studio founded in mid-2012. In addition to an extensive 18-year resume as an award-winning licensed cosmetologist, she holds a degree in business management and several professional fitness certifications. In 2017, she restructured Remedy Salon, Inc. to represent her total vision of merging her crafts by renaming her company as The Remedy Group, Inc.

She's most recently expanded the brand with the opening of W/MBE certified TRG Exclusive Fit Club & Salon which serves as the hub for the all of her in-person training sessions and classes.
