I am an independent Certified Personal Trainer new to Vancouver!! I moved here in September 2014 from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where I offered private, semi-private and small group training sessions from my home studio. As a personal trainer I work hard to provide my clients with the knowledge, support, & motivation to reach their fitness goals. I always strive for effective, efficient, challenging but fun workout programs. My job is to listen, teach, coach and push you to be best you can be!!! I offer a non-intimidating, comfortable, enjoyable environment. Sessions are designed based on the individual clients needs, but I enjoy a functional approach using body weight exercises, a wide variety of free weight options- TRX’s, kettlebells, stability balls, bosu balls, medicine balls, barbells, dumbbels, agility ladders, cable pulleys, and many multi-functional movements. When working with a new client I always start with a Consultation. This is a “Meet & Greet” type of appointment where we get to know each other. I collect important information such as past & present fitness level, past & present health conditions/issues/concerns, general lifestyle and eating habits, what your present fitness regime looks like, what your goals are, and overall, how I can help you reach those goals and achieve and improved level of fitness and health. From here we develop a program that fits into your schedule while achieving maximal success.

** It’s important to find the “right fit” both for the client and the trainer. I greatly respect our time together and want everyone to feel their time is being spent wisely and optimally. If I feel there is another qualified trainer that can better fit your goals, I will let you know. Areas of Specialty

It takes effort to venture off and leave the house (especially now with a little one in tow). And you know, some days it is nice to just stay at home. But with a little effort come reward! I’ve never regretted a decision to get outside and explore.
What adventures are you going on this weekend?

I don’t know about you, but most days I don’t feel overly “motivated” to workout. And that’s coming from a personal trainer! Haha. But instead, it’s the actual workout itself that fuels my motivation. Usually after about 5-10mins I get into the groove, I feel better mentally and physically, I feel energized and more happy.. and THAT is what fuels my motivation to keep going.

So the next morning when I’m lying in bed thinking “man I don’t want to get up and exercise”…I remember how good it feels and if I just get up and get going I’ll feel so much better than had I stayed in bed.

I also really try to listen to my body. Some days it IS better to stay in bed or take a day off.
I go by this 10-minute rule…if I don’t feel better after 10mins than I can call it a day. If I’m exhausted and totally worn out, after 10mins I won’t feel energized, I’ll feel completely drained. That’s the sign that my body needs rest versus stress. In which case I’ll throw in the towel and call it done. But more often than not after 10mins I feel great and that drives me to keep going. 😊💪🏻

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Let me know in the comments below.

Exploring trails in our new backyard

Every part of me wanted to just stay inside and watch TV all day, but then we would have missed out on…..

• seeing Weston’s eyes light up in curiosity as we walked through the forest
• breathing in fresh mountain air
• feeling that sense of peace, tranquility, awe & wonder that nature brings to your soul
• the beauty of giant, moss covered trees, eagles soaring high in the sky, quiet, pristine lakes, even salmon and seals swimming upstream

…..and then we got to return home, cozy up together under the blankets and watch TV…😉

So get out there my friends. 9 times out of 10 it’s always worth it ✨🙌🏻🍂🌲

I love playing in the rain!!!! HA NOT Really. Not when it’s been raining for days…or should I say weeks….with no end in sight. But I’m committed to getting outside everyday. It’s plays a huge part in my mental well-being. And I will say it’s a lot easier with some good quality rain gear like the awesome waterproof jackets & and pants from and the rain cover for my stroller. Keeps the little guy dry, warm, comfy and smiling 😊 I’ll just put on googles next time 🤪

Finally we see the sun!!☀️ Grateful for a break in the rain so Weston and I could get out and explore the trails.

“Smokey Bluffs” is a trail here in Squamish perfect for hiking with babe in the carrier. It has some stairs and steeper inclines to get those legs burning but it’s only 1-1.5hrs, so totally doable. Plus you are rewarded with some gorgeous views of Squamish at the top!

Carving out time every week to journal, reflect and have a little “me” time. ✨

(And coffee… let’s not forget about the coffee haha)

I think it’s important that we all do this…..To make time for a little self care in whatever shape or form that means for you. When you take time each week to nurture yourself and do things that bring you peace and joy, you can show up more fully in the rest of your life. 💛

Don’t have time to make your own salad dressing? Try using an infused olive oil & balsamic vinegar. They’re more expensive than the regular old stuff but wow, do they ever give your salad a ton of flavour! I’ve been doing this forever years now and it’s a game changer. Plus it takes literally 2 seconds to drizzle them over your salad! Here I’ve used “Cinnamon Pear” dark balsamic vinegar and “Blood orange” olive oil. So good!!

Salad ingredients:
• spinach
• cherry tomatoes
• cucumber
• fresh berries
• chopped cashews
• top with 1-2 hard boiled eggs or quinoa (not shown, optional)

Fully Embracing Dad Life💙✨☀️👼🏻

Stroller Review: after hours & hours & HOURS of research… we finally went with the “ bumbleride indie“.

I was looking for a multi-use stroller. One that could handle all-terrain conditions like sand, gravel, roots, trails etc, one that I could jog with eventually (I’m not a serious runner, more so a few 5-10k runs per week) and one that was light enough & easy to fold for running errands and everyday use. The checks all those boxes and we’re super happy with it!

PLUS it has a huge canopy with UV protection with a magnetic peek-a-boo window (lots of models have Velcro windows that are noisy & can wake a sleeping baby…. Uhhh no thanks)

AND it’s made from recycled plastic bottles making it eco-friendly too!! 🙌🏻

I also really like the caddy, rain cover & cozy infant insert accessories you can get to go with it.

I’m posting this to help any new moms, because I agonized over which stroller to buy! If you have a similar stroller wish list, I’d highly recommend this one! Feel free to message me if you have questions.

Workouts are looking a little different these days but I’m managing to squeeze in some TRX exercises at the park.

Weston and I head out for a 20min walk and he’ll usually fall asleep. Then I just loop my TRX around a tree and get at it! I’ve been doing Full Body Tabatas (20s on/10s off for 8 rounds) incorporating upper, lower and core exercises. Today’s workout was: Back Rows, Bicep curls, 1 leg Curtsy Squats, Hamstring Curls and Knee Tucks.

Workouts are anywhere from 15-40mins. Sometimes I have to quit and tend to my little babe. Other times I just need to rock the stroller in between sets. But I am loving moving my body and building up my strength again. I’ve said it many times but I’ll say it again I love this piece of equipment and I highly recommend it to anybody!!

One of my “Go To” summer pasta salads.💛
Fresh veggies, homemade pesto and sundried tomatoes give this dish amazing flavour! Perfect for summer picnics or family gatherings.

Recipe on my website or link in the Bio:
www.pacificsoullifestyle.com

I made a big batch of pesto before baby Weston was born and froze it. That way I can pull portions out of the freezer the night before to make this recipe that much faster!

• omit the sausage to make it vegetarian/vegan
• use gluten free pasta noodles if needed.
• use whatever fresh veggies you have in the fridge!

Hope you enjoy!

With a newborn in the house I’ll have a lot less time to spend in the kitchen, so simple & easy meals are the name of the game! Here I’ve done up a simple salad with leftover chicken thighs, mixed greens, snap peas, & blueberries and topped with lemon tahini dressing (a healthy, delicious store bought option by ) and a drizzle of balsamic reduction (cask18 by )

Life is beautiful. ✨

38 weeks pregnant has me enjoying long, slow walks….something I would rarely do before getting pregnant. I loved my runs, often listening to music or podcasts. And as great as that is, so too is taking a slow, relaxing walk. By doing so, you really get to take-in and appreciate the beauty around you. ✨
