Meet The Team

CEO

Stephanie Crassweller (Fusnik):

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 first offer 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.​I was tired of the cookie cutter approaches. I quickly pursued my nutrition coaching designation so that I could make a bigger impact on my client's lives. Now I run a successful 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. 

 

About Me:

  • I LOVE FOOD but especially DONUTS
  • My husband and I live on the Canadian Prairies on our little funny farm with a LOT of animals
  • I enjoy playing volleyball
  • I’m women of faith
  • I’m emotional, an open book and empathetic
  • I really love traveling with my husband - he keeps me laughing
  • I’m a big fan of the outdoors whether it be mountains, oceans or corn fields
  • I run things here at VitalityOET and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world

Coach Corinne

 
Corinne is a plant based, nationally-qualified bikini competitor in the U.S. Throughout high school she struggled with anorexia; never feeling comfortable in who she was, always tired, weak, and not living a happy life. She knew she couldn’t go on living with how she felt or treated her body and that’s when her discovery in nutrition began. Fitness and nutrition truly saved her life and revealed her purpose.
Nutrition fascinated her with its ability to heal from the inside out. Combined with her desire to help others take control of their nutrition, Corinne attended the College of Saint Elizabeth earning a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Foods and Nutrition with a concentration in Dietetics. During that time she also discovered bodybuilding and began weight training- which led to her certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and then stack on a pre and post natal certification as well. It has become her passion to help women end their frustration and terrible cycles of self doubt and destruction. Women can eat what they love, train for real change, and feel the best they ever have!

Coach Nicole

Our Aussie coach Nicole is a fitness and health professional with over 20 years of experience in the industry. At the age of 18, while battling with weight and self-confidence, she discovered the transformative power of the gym. During her mid 20 and 30's she was a typical yo-yo dieter and experienced weight gain. She's tried every diet  out there in an attempt to find a solution. It wasn't until she became a nutrition coach five years ago that she began to truly understand how to build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and actually get results that last.
Now in her mid-40s she's still on her own health journey. She has lost 40 pounds and still going strong. She knows firsthand the challenges of juggling a busy family/work schedule and a desire for a healthy, fulfilling life.
Nicole believes that with the right support and plan, anything is possible. And as a wife and mother of three, she knows how important it is to prioritize self-care and healthy living in the midst of a busy family life.

Coach Chelsey

 Coach Chelsey was a middle school teacher who had always enjoyed exercise and used it as her favourite form of stress relief.  When she was 23, her dad passed away from Colon cancer, so she started to learn more about the importance of nutrition and started changing her habits.  After having her 2 daughters, she wanted to get back on track so she hired a coach and had a truly terrible coaching experience that included overtraining and an incredibly restrictive meal plan that had her eating 1100 calories. It left her with more weight to lose and a nasty case of SIBO. 
This ignited her passion to learn how to fuel her body correctly and what was considered safe and effective for sustainable weight loss. After a successful reverse, achieving her weight loss goals, and improving her gut health, Chelsey became a Personal Trainer and went on to study with the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) to be a Certified Nutrition Practitioner. 
During that time, Chelsey learned more about Perimenopause and Menopause, (and took Stacy Sims menopause specialization, and hormone harmony masterclass) and could not believe the lack of support that women face during this transformative time in their lives.  She is fascinated by the connection between Estrogen and our gut health and knows that working on all aspects of health is imperative to lasting change. Chelsey wants to set a good example for her daughters as she moves forward in life, and help women achieve healthy and sustainable weight loss while still enjoying the foods, movement, and activities they love. While her background is in teaching, she has a passion for education and making information accessible to all women.
