I began working in the fitness industry in 2005  as a group fitness instructor.    I had two young children  at this point in my life and time at the studio was my time to reset. As the years went by, two children became three and one fitness certification became multiple and the people I had the opportunity of working with grew exponentially as we moved to different towns and cities eventually settling in Okotoks. 

In 2013 I became certified as a Personal Trainer, and began working in a gym setting in this capacity.  I was teaching a lot of Zumba and Strength classes around this time and in 2014 I added Spin and Barre to my certifications and began teaching Barre from my private home studio..  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to take my 200hr Yoga in 2017 and In 2020 I started my own Personal Training business and continued training from my private space.  That same year my bestie and I opened our own boutique fitness Studio, abstrAKt Barre where we offered Barre, Yoga and Step classes. It was a rewarding experience  running abstrAKt together and after three years we closed it's doors and now continue teaching classes at Full Circle Movement Studios.

  I have loved the continual learning that accompanies this career. I love cheering on my clients and students.  It brings me joy to see their growth both physically and mentally.  My fitness community has fostered so many relationships and friendships that are irreplaceable.  I truly love my job.

Outside of the studio I love campfires, strength training, live music, art galleries, mountain and water sports, and spending time with my husband and 3 adult children.
