A bet dragged me into my first body-sculpting workout - literally! It was the mid 80's and I soon discovered there was nothing better than the rush from a bloodpumping aerobic class, or being able to lift just 1 more rep ...being in control how my body was going to move and revelling in the changes - mentally and physically - that came with it. I was hooked . I quit smoking (yup...I was a smoker), paid attention to making better food choices and was lucky enough to have two strong and amazing mentors that convinced me to take the next steps to grow from an (over)eager participant to a certified instructor. Fitness and the community it brings has been, and is, as integral to my life as breathing and my passion and love for fitness spills over into every aspect of my life. My participants teach and energize me as much as I try to inspire them; embrace the lifestyle to be healthy, happy, strong, beautiful, the best version of you!

My favourite part about teaching is seeing the smile, watching growth and accomplishment, connecting on a personal level to help each person to feel better and healthier, physically, emotionally, mentally. Being part of their journey is a treasured gift.

Fun Fact: I used to hate gym class in school - especially when it came to gymnastics module. I would do everything I could in order to NOT have to do the box jump or climb ropes. The best part of being in Grade 11 and 12 was NO MORE GYM!
