Body & Soul Fitness

Welcome! I created this page to promote health and wellness among my friends and family and to promote myself as a personal trainer. Here you'll find daily health and fitness tips and bootcamp information.

My passion is to assist others in engaging on their own personal lifelong pursuit of health, fitness and wellness.

I started my post-secondary education in a Registered Nursing program. As a student nurse I saw far too many people with conditions and injuries that could have largely been avoided and more effectively managed by simple lifestyle changes in diet and physical activity. I became discouraged by the over-burdened healthcare system and never-ending happy hour of pharmaceuticals. While writing a research paper I came across a quote that said something to the effect of: No pill will ever do for the human body what exercise can do. It was then I decided I could accomplish more by helping keep people out of hospital beds in the first place! Through coaching clients on regular physical activity, healthy nutritional habits and appropriate stress management, my goal is to help clients achieve their highest quality of life.

I love personal training for many reasons: the variety, the challenge, the science, and ultimately seeing my clients’ goals and dreams materialize. The height of my satisfaction comes from seeing someone change in more ways than even they themselves had anticipated. I’ve seen regular physical activity not only change a person’s waist-size or chest circumference, but also transform their self-confidence, attitude toward life, level of energy, ability to cope with stress, personal relationships, and much more.

My ideal client takes charge of their health and fitness related goals. They know what they want and are willing to do what it takes to achieve it. With my professional guidance and friendly motivation coupled to your determination, we can achieve the very best version of you.
