I am living in the beautiful GTA and love my career as a trainer as well as a Special Needs Worker!
My goal as a personal trainer is to support a person's journey to become healthier, stronger and more confident in their abilities.
Through Community Living Mississauga and respite work, I have supported individuals in their homes, gyms and communities: fostering independence and inclusion.
Through my work as a personal trainer I support individuals to achieve their health and fitness goals in both the gym and in-home settings.
I started my journey into fitness over 20 years ago. I was certified through CAN FIT PRO in 2006, and again through ISSA in 2021. I have taken several courses in health and fitness training over the years and continually upgrade my certifications.

When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing,
when your activities and actions become gratifying and purposeful,
when what you do serves both yourself and others,
when you do not tire within but seek the sweet satisfaction of your life and your work-
you are doing what you were meant to be doing.
