PERSONAL BIO

Growing up I was very active; baseball and figure skating were the two main competitive sports I focused on. Fitness has always been a part of my life whether it was training for marathons as an adult or just playing on the outdoor rink as a child. While always having an active lifestyle, my journey with fitness began when I suffered from symptoms of PTSD after I was injured in a water-skiing accident.

My Doctor had incorrectly diagnosed my symptoms and simply passed it off as anxiety and recommended I drink less caffeine. In retrospect, I am grateful for this error because I had to learn how to cope with anxiety attacks and sleeplessness naturally. I started going to the gym and doing yoga and meditating daily. I was able to lessen my anxiety attacks and was soon able to sleep better than I ever had before. Along with the mental health benefits came a body that made me feel very confident and that was a new feeling for me.

With the transformation of my body and an increased confidence in the way I looked, I also found an increased confidence in other aspects of my life. I now found a voice to speak up for myself and this resulted in stronger relationships with both friends and loved ones.

With this renewed passion and self confidence, I wanted to pass along what I had learned to others so they too could benefit. I set out to learn more about fitness as a career. My first step along this path was to hire a personal trainer for myself.

I soon became a Certified CanFitPro Personal Trainer and completed my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training Certificate and most recently completed my Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification. I am a fitness professional specializing in helping busy men and women improve their energy, self confidence, and develop a toned body. My online and one-on-one services provide flexibility and are cost effective so everyone can find time to get in the best shape of their lives even when schedules are extremely busy and budgets are tight.
