It all begins with YOU

My name is Lisa and I am a CFES Certified Personal Trainer, Active Aging Coach, and Nutrition Coach. 

 

I am a wife, a mom of 2 adult kids, and a grandma. I have a dog and a cat as well. Born and raised in British Columbia, I live in the beautiful Shuswap region of BC.

 

As an outdoor enthusiast, I enjoy hiking, walking, running, yoga, strength workouts, kayaking, biking, and SUP. Generally, I love all activities, and I am willing to try new ones.

​

I entered the fitness industry later in life at age 50, and my life was forever changed!

​​

I enjoyed how great I felt and the amazing support I received from my coach at the time. It made a world of difference in my overall well-being. This made me realize I wanted to give back to people in a better way. I wanted to help people become the very best versions of themselves. I wanted to help people gain confidence and physical and mental well-being.

​​

But it didn’t happen overnight.​​​​

​

In my younger years, I was very unfit, full of low self-esteem, and very unmotivated. I also was a smoker till 39. Eventually, I  turned my health and wellness around by quitting the habit of smoking first. Then, I gained weight and lost confidence in how I looked.

​

A few years later, around 46, my best friend urged me to start running. She had begun her running journey earlier that winter, getting involved with a local run club. Inspired, I began running in late Spring of 2012. I ran with the help of the “Couch to 5k" program and just kept going. Eventually, I ran a half marathon.

​

As I was edged ever close to 50 I was looking for something else to help me handle mental stress from my job and get my body even more fit. That's when I joined a local gym and hired myself a personal trainer. I started to feel better, make better food choices, and gain confidence.

​

In 2017 I opened my training gym at home and started with my first client. Now, I primarily coach virtually with clients who are 45 and older.

 

I want to enrich my clients’ lives by sharing my story. It TRULY is never too late to start.

 

I continue to educate myself daily and work hard to be a great trainer. But more so to be that person who understands what you are going through and will listen to your desires. Health and wellness are a mind and body connection.
