I am a mother of 4, a Certified Holistic/Sports Nutritionist, BCRPA Personal Trainer/Group Fitness Trainer, Pre/postnatal specialist and Body building/Figure/Fitness coach and athlete myself.  I have trained athletes for judo nationals and various other sports as well.  Although athletes are fun, my true passion is to help people live a disease-free life, by preventative measures through proper exercise and good nutrition.

So how did I get into the health field?  First of all, I was born with a birth defect in my back and physical activity in the right amounts and type has been a crucial part of my life.  Then when I started having kids, I wanted to be show how important it was to stay healthy and raise a healthy family through exercise together.  I started Mama-Xise, exercise programs for moms; prenatal fit, stroller fit, mom and baby fit along with specialty pelvic floor classes for postnatal moms and menopausal women.   This was my gateway into nutrition as it became quite obvious that you can’t outwork a bad diet.  Food + Exercise = Success & Good Health.  I also got into training stage athletes and competing myself.  I learned through this that diet was everything.  It was very interesting to me to see the vast changes once a proper diet for each individual, made all the difference to success on stage.  Even though this was exciting, my real passion became people’s health.  I say my specialty is weight loss, but really, it’s dealing with the issue(s) and working with each person independently, on how their bodies tick, then the weight usually almost always follows. 

Every-body is different so not every-body responds the same.  Seeing people come off various medications from chronic disease as Diabetes type 2, cholesterol, high blood pressure…. is the most rewarding thing I can help someone do.

Because I worked with many moms and families along the way, I have seen the financial hardships that some may face.  I believe everyone should be able to access a trainer and nutritionist without breaking the bank.  This is done through different challenges and workshops.
