I certainly wasn’t a sporty jock growing up (can you say C- in Physical Education?), I did however, grow to appreciate activity in my later years, shaping my attitude towards exercise and also influencing my training style which incorporates principles from activities such as rock climbing, hiking, martial arts, pole dancing, yoga and pilates to help clients explore what’s possible, try something different and have a little more fun.

I attained my bachelor’s in Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University many, many moons ago (okay fine, 2001) and have loved the industry of helping people more than I could have ever dreamt. Two of my favourite quotes have always been “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care” and “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.”

I honestly thought I’d be a research scientist living alone in the woods with a fox and a crow as my best friends (my background in biology at SFU attracted me to the topics of environmental conservation and animal welfare) or a paleontologists. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my therapist (nature) and you might be able to find me hiking with my family.

I’m excited to share my expertise in health and wellness to help you create the life of your dreams.
