So many women tell me, “I could never do that.”

Not because they can’t, but because they haven’t been shown how yet.

Strength can be built. Confidence can be learned.

The backcountry isn’t reserved for the fearless it’s for the prepared.

If hiking or backpacking is calling you but doubt keeps creeping in, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to help you get trail ready, one step at a time.

This is just a starting point. And I didn't realize how nervous I was going to be putting this out in the world, so please be nice.

We all have times when we struggle ... I'm not immune, and I'll go more into that in some follow up videos.

I’m stepping on the scale today, not to judge myself, not to beat myself up, and not because a number defines me.

Just to have a place to start measuring.

I’m going to be my own trainer for the next few months, dialing things in, making small changes, and sharing the whole process, especially the mindset shifts that matter most after 40 and 50+.

No extremes.
No self-hate.
No pretending we can’t love ourselves and want to make changes at the same time.

We start where we are. We support each other. And we measure progress with curiosity, not shame.

I’ll be doing a Sunday check-in each week, and if you want to walk this journey with me, you’re more than welcome.

💛 Follow along if you’re looking for a real 50+ trainer who wants you to succeed, and shares it all. No gatekeeping. Period.

First full week of training for 2026 done!

The best part about running my own personal training business is I get to be very careful about the clients I have. We chat first to ensure it is a good fit for both of us, and yes, some of my clients have become some of my best friends!

I'm thankful every day that I get to do what I do! Need more 1:1 attention and accountability?

Message me and let's chat about how I can help with your fitness, nutrition and lifestyle goals. Online or in person (Fall River, Nova Scotia)
