Martial arts taught me patience. Graduate school taught me method.

Revisiting my fitness journey during graduate school and drawing upon my background in martial arts inspired me to pursue professional ISSA certifications as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor, Pilates instructor, strength and conditioning specialist, transformation specialist, and nutrition coach. Focusing on strengthening my physical health also means taking care of my overall wellbeing — miyupimātisîwin.

Evidence-based, land-based, and built for women’s health.

I integrate Indigenous land-based wellness practices with evidence-based fitness methodologies, specifically tailored to women’s health. In practice that means we train ranges before we train loads, we pay attention to sleep, food and stress as part of the programme rather than a footnote, and we measure progress in what your body can do on an ordinary Tuesday.

I also think about your body the way a founder thinks about the asset the whole business runs on. The inputs are small and repeatable — two or three honest sessions a week. The outputs are capability: carrying, climbing, travelling, recovering. That return compounds, and it is the one return no other result in your life can be built without.

Most of the women I work with have never trained before. That is not a disadvantage. It means nothing has to be un-learned, and the first year of consistent work returns more than any year that follows it.
