Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness comes from lived experiences. Movement has always been my medicine - helping me overcome adversity and find balance in every aspect of my well-being, no matter the season of life. As an Indigenous woman, I view wellness as holistic and deeply connected to self, community, and culture. I’m committed and passionate about showing others that fitness isn’t about perfection - it’s about empowerment, healing, and showing up for yourself unapologetically.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I train in ways that feel empowering and intuitive - through strength training, functional movement, and intentional workouts that build both mental and physical resilience. I may be the smallest in the room, but I show up as one of the strongest, always bringing warrior woman energy! I love pushing my limits in any setting, indoor or outdoor movement and practices that keep me connected and grounded to my body, mind, spirit, and purpose. Staying fit means I am honouring myself wholeheartedly.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the $20,000 to create and support accessible wellness initiatives, especially for Indigenous and underserved communities. This includes movement workshops, fitness resources, and safe spaces that encourage healing through movement. I’d also invest in education, tools, and platforms to amplify the message that movement is medicine - empowering others to move with courage, confidence, and resilience, no matter where they start.
