I want to help yo.
a little about me
I'm a Toronto based medical exercise specialist, trainer and nutritionist with nearly 10 years of experience in the field and a passion for client care. I work primarily with clients after they have been discharged from physical therapy or medical care and help them return to physical activity safely. I also work with new exercisers.
I help clients manage medical conditions and achieve their fitness and body composition goals through movement coaching, education and lifestyle change.
I believe in an integrative approach to health and wellness, with a focus on education and long term results. My background includes corrective exercise, neurology, nutrition and the psychology of change.
As a coach, I'm not here to heal you. I'm here to support you as you heal yourself.

You are not alone.
Life can be wonderful, but it can also be scary. And complex health conditions are overwhelming. I want you to assure you that are answers, and there are always to improve your quality of life.
If you're under the impression that healthcare practitioners are shining examples of health, that is not the case. We all have to face our own challenges.
I have struggled with weight loss and gain, eczema/acne, poor digestive health, kidney dysfunction, chronic pain, PCOS, poor immune function. I have faced depression, assault, and poor body image. It's a long journey no doubt, but each step I have taken towards my physical and emotional health I have done so consciously.
In this process, I have discovered the power of intention, persistence, humility and inner wisdom.
I believe that we each have an unlimited and untapped potential for healing.
