I believe that our health affects our life… and our life affects our health. They’re intertwined. And if one area is deteriorating, the other suffers as well.

When we have balance in both areas, our overall wellness and quality of life benefits greatly!

That’s a big reason why I live with my husband and two teenagers on a beautiful acreage west of Edmonton, Alberta. That was non-negotiable for me. I needed to be surrounded by an abundance of land, nature, and wildlife. 

Growing up on a farm likely had something to do with that! 

Farming is hard work, so we all pitched in. There was no sitting around for us. That meant spending a lot of my time helping my dad with the cattle, fencing, and being out in the fields.

And it’s no surprise that my free time was also spent outside. I put my creativity to use, building cool forts in the hay bales. Whether it was hiking, swimming, hopping on an ATV or one of our horses, I kept busy doing anything that would allow me to be outside…  even in the winter. 

What’s interesting, is that they were all just natural, fun activities that I never considered to be “exercise” or “workouts”. 

My clients have told me, that that’s what makes me different – and so effective. I make a point of incorporating the outdoors in my coaching sessions. And I encourage my clients to do the same at home. 

To find something they enjoy, that fits into their life.
