Tell me more about you outside of coaching...

When I am not working, I enjoy the outdoors in both simple and sporting ways with a passion for nature and our planet. Before I retired from running marathons, I may have surprisingly won one in the female category and qualified for the Boston marathon. I care and commit to youth and women's initiatives most recently volunteering for Fostering Change, a youth aging out of foster care initiative, and the North Shore Women's Centre. You could say I am an ocean girl and I am passionate about saving and preserving it and all its creatures. I have been a mentor for Women's Enterprise society and I enjoy mentoring. In order to energize people weekly, I created the Peak Energy 4 Performance podcast on ITunes and Spotify. My roots in health and wellness have enabled me to intuitively train and coach people to heal and balance their bodies. As enthusiastic as ever, I am still growing my wealth of knowledge in health expanding it to natural, plant based, and herbal options to improve health and performance in the body and brain.

I have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs launch and grow their business with a business plan and business coaching weekly. As part of a unique program for entrepreneurs, I taught, advised, and edited business plans for entrepreneurs to prepare for their business launch.
