meet the founder
My path to becoming a kinesiologist and coach started with a competitive career in sailing. Sailing brought me to fitness but it was a few close friends along with an incredible PE teacher in Cégep that were pivotal to the passion I developed for strength and fitness.
I started my career as a personal trainer at Nautilus Plus during my undergraduate in Kinesiology at McGill. I continued with NP after moving to Ottawa and eventually became the manager of their Aylmer location. I am proud to say that I spearheaded the revamping of the company’s personal training onboarding process and became the lead mentor in the region for new personal trainers. My favorite moments in the gym have always been my interactions with my clients and being able to coach new kinesiology graduates on how to be the best PTs they can be.
Needing a change coming out of the pandemic, my dream to run my own personal training company is finally coming to fruition with Empowered Strength. Sharing my knowledge has always been a driver for me and I am so glad I get to keep doing it through this platform.
I cannot wait to help you get to smashing your goals!
