I’m an experienced health & fitness leader providing wellness coaching through interactive
trainings and workshops. I help people experience greater energy, alignment, and wellbeing in everyday life!
My approach is experiential & engaging – blending movement, reflection and practical strategies so people don’t just learn about wellness, they feel it and can apply it in real time.

My Bachelor of Physical & Health Education is from U of T’s Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education. I also completed the National Coaching Certification Program with the Coaching Association of Canada.
I’m a three-time recipient of the Excellence Through Innovation Award and also received a Stepping Up Award, Accessibility Award, Student Service Award, Student Leadership Award and Dance Award.
