Founder & Workshop Presenter

My background in mental health, wellness and physical education was the inspiration behind creating Ikigirl Wellness. I am a physical educator, fitness coach, mom of three boys and long-time advocate for whole-school health promotion. My hope for Ikigirl Wellness is that we inspire school communities, workplaces and individuals to expand their well-being through our work creating wellness planners and resources as well as offering meaningful professional development. We are excited about this journey and look forward to growing our wellness community.

Founder & Workshop Presenter

My background is in physical and mental health. As a physical and wellness educator, I have spent years researching, teaching and developing curriculum for Alberta. As a mom of four boys, coach and active member in my community, I see wellness challenges we face daily. Our goal is to help as many people as we can reach their wellness potential. Through seminars, resources and professional development I am excited to work through this wellness journey together!

Design & Media

I studied at the U of A for a Bachelor's in Physical Education and Education, but ended up taking a detour into non-profit sport administration. I have a strong passion for sports, physical wellness, and life long activity. I was intrigued by the concept of the planners and this wellness team, and have had such a fun time bringing the designs/resources and website to life.
