After the birth of my second child, my weight had peaked at 235lbs.  I had been overweight for as long as I could remember and spent my late 20s as an obese person.  I was unhappy and unhealthy.  When my daughter was born, I knew something had to change.  I had always known that I wanted to instill values of self esteem and self love in my children, especially my daughter, but knew that I couldn't talk the talk if I didn't walk the walk.  I truly believe that how we look outside is largely a reflection of how we feel about ourselves inside.  Through proper nutrition, fitness, and support I lost 95lbs and became the person I am truly meant to be.  It wasn't the weight loss that allowed me to love myself, it was loving myself and finally believing that I am worth taking care of, that allowed me to lose the weight.  I am so excited for the opportunity to provide you with the support and guidance to help you reach your personal goals.  Whether you want to improve your fitness level or lose weight, we will work together so you can become the person you are truly meant to be.

I have a confession to make; I am a runner - it is my "exercise passion".  Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to feel the exhilaration of crossing the finish line at a few full marathons and a number of half marathons.  This passion, however, has not been without challenges and I found myself on my Athletic Therapist's table many times with injuries primarily due to strength imbalances.  Despite the fantastic support of rehabilitation programs I received, I was not motivated to do this work on my own.  I joined a boot camp class in my neighbourhood in 2008 and in a short time started to experience the positive difference in my functional strength and performance.  I discovered Fired Up Fitness in 2009, and have found that the variety, challenge and balance that the trainers bring to the classes has made all of the difference to my total body strength and flexibility.  I am a stronger runner today than I was before I starged, and I now get to spend more time being active and less time nursing injuries.  Recognizing the difference that this way of conditioning made for my physical health, I became certified as a Personal Training Specialist with hope that I could help others to "cross their own personal finish line" towards a healthy lifestyle.  I am thrilled to be a trainer with Fired Up Fitness and I look forward to working with you soon!

Everything changed when I turned 40. I have enjoyed being active through both sport and long distance running my entire life. However, at 40, an arthritis diagnosis really brought home the importance of fitness for me. Frankly, it is vital in allowing me to move each and every day. As soon as I was introduced to my first BootCamp, I knew that strength training was a game changer for me. Two years later, not only has it changed my overall physique, but I am also living pain free. And along the way I have met some amazing people and have had a ton of fun!

Because I feel so strongly about the effectiveness of this type of training, I decided I wanted to teach others and in early 2014, I successfully completed my training.

It is truly my pleasure to guide and motivate our clients through their workouts. Their energy and enthusiasm make this the best ‘job’ in the world!

I hope to see you soon!
