Aging doesn’t have to equal lowering our standards, or downgrading our goals.

The picture on the left popped up this week in memories…I had just turned 40, I was about 7 months post-partum with Gabriel.
I remember thinking, I’ll never do a photoshoot again, let alone wear a bikini.
Turning 40, having a c-section and fluctuating hormones were all against me, right?!

The picture on the right was taken yesterday. The weekend was spent enjoying Easter festivities, libations and a few mini eggs 🫶🥂

I do believe that what we do most of the time matters, not what we do some of the time.
So yes, MOST of the time, I’m prioritizing protein, water, resistance training and sleep. Most of the time my health and fitness are my priorities.

At 46, I’d love to tell my 40 year old self that her goals don’t have to diminish or change. She can still want the best for her physical body (and mental, emotional, spiritual etc), but perhaps the way to achieve those goals needs tweaking. Perhaps it takes some different approaches, tools and a slightly more uphill battle … but it’s still possible!

Please keep going. Don’t let society or “your pre-conceived” notions of what aging should look like deter you from going after your biggest dreams” 💪🙌🏻

You’ve got this ❤️🙌🏻💪🫶

If you don’t know me, or only know me from social media, you would think I only like the spotlight and being in front of a camera 😎 (which isn’t entirely false) 😆 But my ABSOLUTE favourite thing in the world is being behind the scenes in other women’s lives;
Helping them shine. Sharing each and every tool, hack and method that have helped me along my journey. I’m a “tell-it-all” , “share-it-all” kind of gal….because there is nothing better than making other people feel amazing and helping them shine bright ❤️🫶 Some say I carry pixie dust In my back pocket… Whether training you in person, online, near or far…or shining you up at a shoot…. I’m your wing-woman 😎😉❤️  I currently am booked solid til September in person, but have space in a couple different programs at different price points online. There is literally something for everybody, so send me a message and we will figure it out together! Whether 4,6 or 12 weeks, we can find you results 💪
 Are you ready to up-level your health and fitness? Are you curious to just how good you can look AND feel? Are you tired of being over-restricted or spending your time and money on methods that don’t work?

Let me be your wing-woman 🫶🫶🫶

March Break wasn’t quite a break 😆

We managed to squeeze in quite a few workouts, pizzas and play dates in between 2 dance competitions for Ari and a Flamenco recital for G.

Still wouldn’t have it any other way 🥰 watching your kids thrive and preforming their passion is priceless ❤️

I’m currently working on a huge project. A project that has me more behind the scenes. Using my experience and education, years of trial and error (and success). Thousands of hours of research and hands on experience over the past 2 decades doesn’t result in luck, but fulfilling purpose.

Someone asked me the other day why I haven’t posted much recently… I had to stop and think. I’ve been so busy “behind the scenes” lifting others, supporting and cheering on women, head down hustling that I truly haven’t even thought of it.

YES! I love to be in front of the camera. Yes, i love a Spotlight, a shiny surface, a reason to push harder…pictures like these 🤩

But, what I’ve learned and am learning is the true magic, fulfillment and PURPOSE comes when serving others. The reason I was put here was not (only) to share MY wins, but more importantly help others CREATE their own wins and be in the front row to celebrate them!!!
My new project that I have been invited to lead is ALL about this!!!
So if you are wondering where I’ve been, or why I’m only posting memes, or if you didn’t really notice (😆), that’s what’s up!

So here is an unedited picture so you don’t forget my face! 😘

Back to the trenches. 💪 see you soon!

Shine. Don’t shrink.

Every single one of us was born with something specific — a voice, a fire, a gift that no one else can replicate. That’s not ego. That’s design.

Your talent isn’t random.
Your instincts aren’t accidental.
Your pull toward “that thing” isn’t silly.

It’s innate. It’s yours.

So stop dimming it to make other people comfortable.
Stop hiding it because someone might misunderstand it.
Stop shrinking because you’re afraid of judgment.

Use it. Build it. Share it.

The world doesn’t need a smaller version of you.
It needs the real one. ✨

It’s hard to explain the beauty when a kid feels something so deeply that it seems to be an innate quality or desire. Not taught. Not observed. Not learned.
G showed early on a love for Flamenco…so we rolled with it. Sure we play the music in the house, but it’s hard to observe and be immersed in that culture while living in Canada.

It started with a fan.
Then his first pair of flamenco boots.
Castanets. Canes and capes.
We found a local studio to fill that void, and a year later, Wednesday nights at the studio have become his highlight of the week.

I can’t wait to see him continue ❤️
Some legacies aren’t explained — they’re inherited.

💎💎 Client Spotlight 💎💎
I loved working with Mrs. Jones! Her goals were realistic, and despite some physical hurdles/injuries, she still managed to succeed in releasing 16 pounds and is still going strong in her journey.
Yes, hormonal changes in aging bodies make things more challenging. Yes, injuries are not easy to deal with, but neither are excuses to give up! Having the right support and proper plan WILL help you succeed! Take it away Mrs.Jones! So proud!

“Between perimenopause doing its unpredictable thing and ongoing knee and hip issues, I felt frustrated in my own body. Energy was inconsistent. Strength felt different. Recovery was slower. Honestly, it was discouraging. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t quite recognize how I felt physically.
Committing to this program and to myself changed that.
This wasn’t about pushing harder or chasing unrealistic goals. It was about understanding what my body needed in this season of life. With Rita’s guidance, I learned how to work with my body instead of fighting against it. The workouts were smart, supportive, and adaptable to my knee and hip limitations, which made all the difference.

For the first time in many, many years, I actually feel physically better while navigating perimenopause not worse. Stronger. More stable. More confident in how I move. And that’s something I didn’t think was possible a few months ago.

I’m incredibly grateful I chose to put myself first and figure it out with Rita’s help. If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your body has changed and you’re not sure what to do next don’t give up on yourself. There is a way forward. Sometimes you just need the right support beside you. Someone who just gets it.

Thanks again for everything! “

I wasn’t born with a barbell in my hands...I am actually one of the LEAST athletic people you will ever meet.
I look ridiculous running...
I’ve had to work years (a decade) on my form ..and I’m still working on it.
I still struggle with push ups and pull ups.
My family instilled culture, food, tradition, values into me...never physical activity or any sport.
But after having Ariana, I looked into the crystal ball and saw my future without health/fitness.
It scared me.
I saw my typical pattern of armouring myself with humor and overalls slowly get worse and worse.
I was fearful for the example I would set for my daughter.
I craved change. I didn’t want to struggle my entire life as I witnessed from my surroundings.

I picked up a weight. It was awkward.
I put down the junk food . It was a challenge.
I showed up daily for my workouts. Even when I was sore, lazy and not in the mood.
I corked the daily wine bottle and enjoyed the weekend glass that much more.
I changed my future.
I re-wrote the blueprint.
I didn’t settle.
I showed up for ME... not for anyone else.
Thank you 27 year old Rita.
You showed courage and strength and because of you, 46 year old me can now reap the rewards that will continue to give and give💪❤️
I know it’s not easy to start. I know it can be intimidating. I know overwhelm. I know first hand not getting instant results. I know sacrificing time with your family. I know “mom-guilt. I know...I know...I know.
But I promise you, showing up for your physical body daily, and treating your body with the respect it deserves outweighs all of the above .
I’m listening. I’m here.
