To
make a long story shorter, I have been competing in fitness/figure for 6 years, but have always been a sports lover. My first
year, or should I say, my first show was 'just to see if I liked
it'. Thanks to my dear and heart filled friends Terry Goodlad and
Carla Viberg, I went from no experience to winning my first two
shows, Western Canadian Naturals in Kelowna and BC Championships
in Burnaby in 2000, weighing in at 123 lbs, and now being hooked
into fitness. Terry taught me everything. Now when I say
everything, that isn't an understatement, it is all true. Terry
covered my training techniques and dieting to how to walk in my
heels and posing. The demonstrations were priceless!! Carla lent
me all her suits and bikinis and taught me holds and strength
moves.
Now, I train year round for the Worlds, Pro Fitness
Modeling and new to me this year - Bodybuilding and Figure.
Today, I will weigh in at about 140 lbs. Quite a change from 123lbs! I am fortunate in having
a gymnastics back ground as an athlete and National level Coach.
To tell you the truth, the hardest part of being a fitness athlete
for me was the stage facial expressions and walking
for the first time in those shoes! My newest passion is
training in martial arts, focusing on Ninjutsu, Modern Arnis and
Natural Spirit JKD.
Presently, I am living in Calgary. I am fortunate to be working at
Archer's Personal Training Studio with great co-workers and
clients. Everyone there encourages me daily. To me this is a
huge advantage. Having great support from home and at work makes
preparing for a show that much more enjoyable. I am a Certified
Personal Trainer and level 3 Gymnastics Coach with a Seneca
College Diploma for Coaching Gymnastics at an Advanced level.
