Hello There!
I'm Shannon, A Certified Personal Trainer, and Lifestyle & Wellness Coach
Wellness Coach
Build a Healthy Life to Live Happier
Welcome to my world, where I'm dedicated to inspiring you to embrace life with positivity and enthusiasm. Balancing the realms of Fitness, Family, Fun, Fashion, and Food is my forte. As a full-time working mom and to-do list slayer, I'm also a passionate advocate for active living. My mission is to empower individuals to reclaim their health and mental well-being through the transformative power of fitness. Above all, my most cherished role is that of an active mother and step-mother to my three beautiful children.
​
Beyond my corporate journey, I'm an avid runner and hold certifications as a BCRPA-certified Personal Trainer, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) level 1 and 2 certified trainer, and AAHF Lifestyle & Wellness Coach. With 20+ years of experience and a specialization in indoor cycling, I proudly lead as a group fitness leader.
I'm passionate about breaking the elitism and exclusivity in the running community and showing that fitness is for everyone, regardless of shape, size, or ability. Whether you're an everyday athlete, a busy mom, a beginner, or a weekend warrior, functional movement is inclusive and empowering. I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's have fun together—I'm your biggest cheerleader!
Established in 2007, my dedication has garnered recognition, honored as one of Vancouver's Top 30 Mom Bloggers in 2018 and nominated as one of Canada's Top Fitness Trainers in Impact Magazine's Inspiration Issue of 2024. Proudly, I serve as a #LeagueofGarmin Ambassador and contribute as a valued member of Lululemon's creator network.
My approach fosters inclusivity and promotes positive self-image. Together, let's journey towards holistic wellness, embracing family values, and feeling fabulous every step of the way, with fitness as a joyful celebration of all body types and abilities.
