Personal Trainer

Fitness, health, and wellness are at the centre of my core values. I am committed to helping individuals achieve their goals and maintain active, fulfilling lifestyles. My approach goes beyond just working out; I focus on creating balanced, functional programs that build strength, improve mobility, and support longevity.

I graduated from Camosun College in 2020 with a Bachelor of Sport and Fitness Leadership and have over five years of experience working as a Kinesiologist. A large portion of my experience involves supporting older adults in managing cognitive and physical challenges, enabling them to live more mobile and independent lives.

As a Certified Personal Trainer, I use a combination of exercise science, training principles, and variety to design effective and fun training programs. While I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, I have a particular interest in women’s health. I love to help women build confidence, strength, and incorporate appropriate exercise modalities to support their bodies.

Outside of my professional work in the gym, you’ll probably find me working on my own health and fitness goals or getting outdoors to enjoy local hiking and walking trails.

Exercise Physiologist

I have had a career focused on movement since 2018. I have experience in rehabilitation and performance training settings and enjoy helping others feel their best through movement. I am a CSEP Clinical Exercise Physiologist as well as a registered Kinesiologist in BC. I provide well rounded programming with a focus on injury prevention.

I understand the importance of feeling comfortable in your training environment and finding your movement “why” in order to achieve consistency.

My movement usually involves some sort of biking, mountain or road, long distance running, or strength training. I also love to get outside for a walk with my dog and appreciate the beautiful environment we get to enjoy in Victoria, BC.

Kinesiologist

As a BCAK Practicing Kinesiologist and Certified Athletic Therapist, I am passionate about helping people meet their functional fitness goals in a safe and positive environment.

I have had a passion for sports and exercise since a young age, and love being able to share my knowledge on the topic with others. My goal is to collaborate with every client to ensure that each program works towards achieving their goals using a form of exercise they enjoy. With my background in athletic therapy, I also place a strong emphasis on safe and functional movement that can be translated into everyday life.

I was born and raised in Campbell River, BC, where I grew up participating in a variety of sports including softball, volleyball, dance and swimming. This led to an interest in therapeutic exercise and injury rehabilitation, which prompted me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic & Exercise Therapy from Camosun College. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities, including first-time gym goers and both recreational and Olympic-level athletes.

I look forward to helping my clients meet their full potential and grow confidence in movement.

Personal Trainer

Fitness and personal health has always been a key part of my life. In 1999, my love of sports and physical fitness led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Since that time my education in health and fitness has been ongoing, becoming certified many areas which has greatly added to my 18 years of practical experience.

My main goal for establishing Core Personal Fitness in 2001 was to help motivate people to feel their personal best. In January 2013 I was pleased to open the studio at 1109 Kings Rd in Quadra Village. Having my own business has allowed me to realize my dream of helping clients of all types reach their health and fitness goals in a judgment free, motivating, private environment.

I am now able to spend my time working one on one with clients to achieve their goals (my true passion) in an environment that promotes success.

Kinesiologist

I am passionate about helping my clients live healthier, more empowered lives through movement, strength and sustainable wellness habits. My post secondary education began in Nutritional Sciences but I soon shifted my focus to exercise science; completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Sport and Fitness Leadership in 2017, then applyinging my degree to become a Practicing Kinesiologist with the BCAK. Since 2015, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients focusing on functional movement that supports real life strength and resilience. Some of those clients are still working with me consistently today!

I believe muscle and strength go far beyond aesthetics and are so important for longevity, mental health, hormone balance and overall quality of life. After having a baby last year, I have developed a deeper connection to pre and post natal clients, supporting them through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. However, I enjoy working with all types of clients who may be dealing with various injuries or medical conditions.

My overall goal as a Kinesiologist is to make fitness accessible, enjoyable and tailored to each individual. I help my clients achieve their goals by teaching them how to implement a balanced lifestyle that encompasses all aspects of health. I love how the field of health and wellness is continuously evolving and I am constantly learning and educating myself within the field.
