After having my first baby, my fitness changed alongside my body and I have created these programs to assist you as your body goes through this massive transformation.

I am a certified Paddle Canada and World Paddle Association Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Instructor and a lover of outdoor activities, including skiing, mountain biking, hiking, surfing and Stand Up Paddle boarding. I love to sweat and believe in the power of fitness not only for physical health, but for mental and emotional health.  I am happiest in the woods or on the water, and believe in the holistic benefits of an active lifestyle.

When my water broke 6-weeks early when I was pregnant with my first son, despite being terrified, I actually felt quite prepared. I had done the physical work and the research to stay fit and prepare for labour. I knew exactly what I wanted and was fortunate experience a birth that was very close to what I had hoped for.

I had trained for the labour positions I wanted to use, I had worked on my transverse ab strength, a key muscle for pushing, and I remembered to breathe. Today, I teach new moms how to stay active during pregnancy to help them train for the marathon - labour & delivery.

We focus not only on pelvic floor muscular training by toning, strengthening and relaxing the pelvic floor, but we also focus on upper mobility and pelvic mobility, and gentle deep core engagement. In other words, we train in a way that applies the principle of specificity to the activity we are specifically preparing for - childbirth.
