Fitness

Fitness is my life, my strength, my courage, and my confidence. It is part of my essence…my being. Without it, I would not have accomplished all that I have gained – a better mom, an active volunteer in my community, a teacher who cares and wants others to care too.


I was fortunate enough to participate in two competition shows for the Northern Rock Naturals for the Ontario Physique Association. My persistence in training and dedication paid off, as I won first place in the “Women’s Figure Overall” category, as well as the “Women’s Physique Short”, “Women’s Physique Masters”, and “Women’s Physique overall”.
