Meet Ari

Active in the health and wellness industry for the past 16 years, Ari has always held a love for food and nutrition and the crucial role they play in our lives and cultures. In 2006, she faced her own health struggles when her thyroid problems caused her to gain over 75lbs in just under six months. The journey to finding her health and balance again would send her on a 18 year path of learning and discovery and lead her to pursue a professional career coaching and personal training clients across Canada.

Ari passionately believes that there is no one size fits all solution when it comes to weight loss and developing healthy habits, that nutrition shouldn't have to be complex, and that the goal of any good coach should be to lead their clients to self-sufficiency and confidence.

When Ari isn't coaching nutrition, you can also find her chasing her other love - coaching and training CrossFit, weight training, and trying to train to run fast enough to keep up with her Husky.

You got this, so lets get started!

Meet Kari

10 years ago Kari started working within the health and fitness industry in a big box gym working hand in hand with personal trainers on getting the best results for their members. Watching their transformations inspired her to work on her own fitness journey. With anything, the more time one spends doing something the more information one craves, this lead her to became a sports nutrition coach and aid personal trainers one-on-one with their clients.

However, it was not until 4 years later after suffering a pregnancy loss that she figured out what was missing in her practice. Maternity nutrition including preconception, conception and postnatal is a huge passion of hers, and is something that is not talked about enough. Kari became a maternity nutrition coach and used her knowledge to aid her own pregnancy as well as other clients. She knows first hand how out of sorts your body can feel and how much a coach can help make the journey to feel like the "best you" more achievable.

In her free time Kari enjoys rock climbing, hiking, baking, studying psychology, drinking coffee, video gaming and spending time with her two children.

Life's all about balance, let's figure it out together.
