A BRIEF GLANCE INTO MY JOURNEY
Having been in the fitness and wellness industry since the early 80’s I have seen all the fads, gimmicks and magic pills that promise ‘’quick & drastic results’’. As an educated, seasoned professional I am able to help you understand what really works and what will lead to lasting changes.
My professional experience as a movement and wellness educator progressed through the years beginning with coaching various sports and teaching thousands of fitness, yoga, mobility, exercise classes of all types and coaching a multitude of clients on a one-to-one basis. I regularly host workshops and retreats touching upon topics related to healthy lifestyle, mind-body connection, goal and intention setting, body positivity, pelvic floor health, and so much more.
I was the Physical Education Director at YMCAs in Montreal and Halifax. I then enjoyed being a grade school teacher for well over 6 years before returning to being a Fitness Director at the Ottawa Athletic Club. I was later recruited to take on the challenge of being the Regional Director for the Orleans YMCA-YWCA leading the management team during the time of expansion and renovations. I was then honored to be selected and hired as the Fitness Portfolio Specialist for the City of Ottawa where I received a peer recognition award for outstanding Leadership skills. I was especially proud of developing high caliber, yearly fitness professional continuing education conferences, recognized by all the top national certifying bodies. I chose to leave my municipal job, with all the benefits and security in 2014, to follow my passion of creating my own business centered around empowering people.
