Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not your typical trainer, coach, or course facilitator. My story is filled with failures, triumphs, and a whole lot of blessons (that’s blessings + lessons, in case you’re wondering). And I’m here to tell you—if you can look up, you can get up. Every single time.

The Studio (and Coaching) That’s Got Your Back

I’ve created a private, safe, and adaptive space—not a cookie-cutter gym or an intimidating training floor. My studio is a judgment-free zone where every piece of equipment and every corner is designed with YOU in mind.

And if getting to the studio isn’t ideal, I also provide in-home coaching and take on contracts at local long-term care and retirement homes.

If you’re a parent navigating the challenges of dementia, increasing dependence, or mobility issues, I understand the emotional weight of these experiences. I’m here to support both you and your loved ones with compassion and practical strategies.

Why You’re in the Right Hands

With nearly 30 years of commitment to health and movement, I’ve earned over 100 certifications. My expertise spans:

• Medical Fitness Coaching, including like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, arthritis, obesity, mental illness, and more.
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Arthritis
• Cancer
• Diabetes (Type 1 and 2)
• Heart disease
• Hypertension
• Lung disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Bariatric surgery support/ weight strategies
• Orthopedic conditions
• Parkinson’s disease
• Mental illness
• Perimenopause and Menopausal Coaching to navigate physical and emotional changes.
• Injury Recovery and Physio Referrals, providing personalized support to rebuild strength and mobility.

I’ve also worked as a presenter across Canada, teaching other professionals about adaptive coaching, program design, and inclusive fitness. My work with CanFitPro as a subject matter expert in motivational interviewing and client assessments reflects my passion for meeting people where they are.

An Athlete Who Gets It

I know what it’s like to push limits. As a marathoner, triathlete, former masters bodybuilder and Ironman athlete, I’ve faced the mental and physical hurdles of endurance sports—and I bring that same determination to my coaching.

Failures? Oh, I’ve Had Them.

Here’s the truth: my failures have been both private and painfully public. One was so traumatic it caused my hair to fall out. I was broken, overwhelmed, and moving at a micro pace—but I kept moving.

That’s why I get it.

Life doesn’t always feel fair, and the climb can seem impossibly steep. But if you can keep moving—inch by inch—you’ll get there. And when you do, you’ll be stronger, more resilient, and ready for the next climb. And I'm right there with you as you need.

More Than a Coach

I’m also an advocate for resources and support, working with Muskoka Victim Services to help people facing unimaginable challenges. Wellness isn’t just about fitness; it’s about community, empathy, and knowing you’re not alone.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Whether you’re managing a medical condition, navigating menopause, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to feel stronger and healthier, I’m here to guide you. Let’s climb together, because the view at the top? It’s absolutely worth it.

When you’re ready to start (or start again), I’ll be here cheering you on. The hardest climbs bring the best views—and you don’t have to do it alone.
