ABOUT ME
I have always had a passion for helping others,
sports, health and fitness which led to me pursue
a BSc. in Kinesiology. I started my personal
training career during my 2nd year of university
and instantly fell in love with it. During my
undergrad I trained everyone from athletes, to
"average joes" with chronic conditions. I worked
as an evaluator for the Saskatoon City Policy and
Fire Department Applicant Fitness Testing too. I
then got my exercise therapist designation and
NSCA Strength and Conditioning and completed
my MSc. in Kinesiology. This led to me to work as
an exercise therapist for the health region
focusing on chronic disease management. I
realized I wanted to help my clients even more
so I went on to get 2 diplomas in Manual
Osteopathic Therapy and got my Neurokinetic
Therapy certifications as well. I then opened my
own clinic - Vitality Osteopathic and Exercise
Therapy - where I offer osteopathy, online
coaching and in person training. My clients saw
great success in improving pain, mobility and
weight loss but nutrition needed work which is
why I pursued my nutrition coaching
designation. I was angry of hearing what my
clients had been through with our health care
system and I was tired of the cookie cutter
approaches. You need to look at the whole
person, their entire life and experiences into
account. You need to really understand the
individual when trying to improve their health.
Which is why I do what I do! I provide you with
the education, and individualized support and
implementation methods so you can live a life of
resiliency and vitality!

WHAT TO EXPECT
NUTRITION AND HEALTH
COACHING
MINIMUM 6 MONTH COMMITMENT
Nutrition and health coaching requires time to learn about your
body and find which approaches you can stick to long term.
Establishing new habits and breaking old ones takes time. I do not
beleive in "quick fixes" because they never last. We are making a
commitment to reach your goals and that will take time,
consistency and work.
WHOLE BODY APPROACH
I look at more than just how many calories go in and out. The body
is much more complex than that. There are many things we have
to look at and address to set you up for success.
TRACKER
I strongly recommend using myfitnesspal and utilizing a food scale.
If you can I would also suggest a step tracker of some sort. You can
then simply put that data into our tracker that is shared on our
Google Drive (due weekly) and I respond back within 24 hours.
BI-WEEKLY VIDEO CHECK INS
15-30 minute zoom calls to go over your last 2 weeks and how we
can set you up for success for the weeks coming up!

07
CLIENT WELCOME PACKET

WHAT TO EXPECT
ONLINE TRAINING
MINIMUM 3 MONTH COMMITMENT
It takes time and consistency to see results. Allows for at least 3
phases of training and allows us to trouble shoot any
biomechanical or pain problems you may have.

MONTHLY PERSONALISED PROGRAMMING


I reprogram every 4 weeks. I always check in with you before I start
to work on the next phase to see if there were any exercises you did
not enjoy, if there were things you'd like to try, if you had any
changes in goals, were wanting to change the time or duration of
the workouts etc.

TRAINERIZE APP
Everything is done through the app. There are video and written
explanations of all the exercises in your program. Any and all
information pertaining to your program are all in one place!

IN APP COMMUNICATION
You can communicate with me at anytime within the app, send
me messages, videos of exercise execution or leave comments
after workouts! I will always get back to you by the end of the next
business day (but usually sooner).

EXPECTATIONS
From this point forward we are a team working together towards your
goals. Your goals are now my goals and honesty and consistency will
dictate our success. I am all in on your journey and I hope you are too!

WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM ME


Honest, open communication.
If I do not have an answer for you I will research and find one for
you or refer you to someone who has those answers for you.
No judgement what so ever! I am here for you and the only way
this will work is if you trust me and feel safe to be yourself!
Individualized plan specifically tailored for you!

WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU


Enjoy the process! The goal is for you to not need me one day, to
have the confidence to do this on your own and if you do not
enjoy what you are doing then you simply won't do it!
Keep up to date on your tracker sheets, hand in data on time, and
ask for help when you need it.
I am not looking for perfection! That is unrealistic! So I ask for
genuine dedication and effort. We are working on consistency!
Track everything - even if it is not part of the plan.
Challenge yourself - somtimes the biggest growth is just outside
our comfort zone

PROMISE you it is so worth it. Otherwise you will regret it. There is no

GOAL SETTING
Longevity/Health

Aesthetics

Performance

THE TRIANGLE OF AWARENESS MODEL


This triangle will give us insight on where your goal focus is right
now. As you can see all corners of this triangle are equal distance
apart. This is because you are not able to achieve them all at once.
Think about your current goals and place an X where your goals
align. No place within the traingle is off limits as there can be some
overlap! This will help guide our plan for you!

There is be some unplanned benefits that come as a result of


exercise and improved nutrition such as improved sleep, more
energy, improved mood, increased strength, improved cognitive
function, reduced pain, improved digestion and the list goes on and
on!

SEASONS OF TRAINING GOALS


Just like the trees change with the seasons so do we when it comes to our
goals. Achieving our goals is a process and this is illustrated using the
graphic below. It goes in one direction and in order to have sucess we have
to go through the entire cycle. Where you start in the cycle will be
different for everyone based on what their body has gone through and
where they are at right now. Unfortunately we do not get to dictate how
long we are in each "season" - the body will show us when it is. Each
season has it's own characteristics and and focus. Things that will vary
between the seasons are how we fuel the body, stress management
strategies, adequate recovery protocols, mind-set, habit building etc. Once
you have really mastered each season you can then repeat the cycle with
confidence and success for a lifetime of health, resiliency and vitality!

system . We do this by improving your gut health, focusing on adequate

Now that we have restored your metabolism and have instilled some
healthy habits we are able to really accelerate and optimize the fat loss
process. This is accomplished by manipulating your nutrition and
activity/exercise program.

GAINED VITALITY FOR LIFE

for a lifetime of success and vitality! Here we construct a long term plan that
you can integrate into your lifestyle and implement it. You are provided with
the tools and resources so that you can maintain your goals with greater
flexibility for the rest of your life without strict, restrictive diets or ridiculously
