Background:

I became a Personal Trainer in Canada in 2008 because I was passionate about nutrition and fitness and wanted to share with others how resistance training can positively influence our bodies and health.  

I initially started strength training in my late teens to help with low back pain, and I continued to use exercise to keep strong and healthy through many life transitions, including 4 pregnancies and c-sections. In March 2024 I suffered a stroke and then had heart surgery which was a massive turning point in both my personal and professional life, and gave my approach to health a much deeper meaning.

Recovering from the stroke has given me a far greater understanding of what it means to work through physical and mental challenges and adapt to a body that may have limits, or simply isn’t the way it once was.  

My approach to fitness has always been holistic, incorporating different forms of movement and practices such as strength training, mobility, handstand training, yoga and recovery techniques. Over the years, my own experiences have and will continue to shape the way I train and coach.

Our bodies change throughout our lives. I want to help people learn to work with the body they are blessed with, build strength, trust and confidence in it, and continue discovering what they’re capable of.
