Hi, I'm Stephanie!

I am passionate about LIVING life because, honestly, it is SHORT. I learned this first hand when I lost my mom suddenly in 2022. She made me promise to LIVE and ENJOY life. She told me to follow my passions. So I have and always will. You see I have been in the health and fitness field since 2011 and watching women take control of their lives and actually LIVE again lights my soul on fire. I’ve heard crazy things my clients have been told like how menopause is something you just need to “get through”. But it is not “just how it is now”. And just because your symptoms are “common” does not mean it is “normal”. You know your body better than anyone else and there is nothing more defeating than having the words “your labs look normal” uttered to you in a doctors appointment when you feel AWFUL. I am here to advocate for you, to validate your concerns and tell you are not crazy. I am not going to say “eat less, move more”. We dig deep to figure out the root cause of your symptoms so you can LIVE again (and that includes eating your favourite foods and carbs!)

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. During my undergrad I trained everyone from athletes, and firefighters to "average Joes" with chronic conditions. 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 clients even more so I went on to get 2 diplomas in Manual Osteopathic Therapy and my Neurokinetic Therapy certifications. I then opened my own clinic - Vitality Osteopathic and Exercise Therapy - where I offered osteopathy, online and in person training. We have since expanded to be a multidisciplinary clinic with a growing team. Clients saw great success in improving pain, mobility and weight loss but something was missing - nutrition. I became very frustrated hearing what my clients had been through with the health care system and past coaches. So I set out to learn as much as I could about fixing health, metabolism, and stress responses- and how they affected women - specifically with women entering perimenopause and onwards.

I was sick of the cookie cutter approaches I was seeing online. I quickly pursued my nutrition coaching designation so that I could make a bigger impact on my client's lives. Now I run a thriving business with a wonderful team of coaches who help women improve their health and navigate peri-menopause every single day with 1-on-1, specialized coaching and care.
