Who Am I?

Hi there!

My name is Franny and I am a mom, pharmacist, and fitness professional!

My fitness journey started several years ago while working full-time as a pharmacist. My work hours were all over the place and I didn't have a regular eating and sleeping schedule. I was exhausted, I stopped going to the gym, I made poor food choices, and I didn’t like who I became. I gained weight and became so deconditioned that even walking up a flight of stairs would leave me huffing and puffing.

Soon after, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS have a much higher risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which translates to a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes. PCOS is also one of the most common causes of female infertility, and after trying to conceive for numerous years, I developed anxiety and depression. I finally saw my doctor for some help, and she advised me to start exercising regularly to improve my health and to also prevent diabetes and heart disease.

With the doctor’s advice, I hired a personal trainer and eventually found a new passion for exercising, especially powerlifting. I felt empowered, strong, and confident in my newfound strength. Exercising regularly made such a big difference in my mood and my self-worth. I loved it so much that I became a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and nutrition coach. I also became a Personal Training Specialist course instructor at canfitpro, Canada’s largest provider of fitness education.

After almost a decade of trying, the stars aligned and I was fortunate enough to have a baby of my own. My passion now is to help you become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself, no matter which stage of life you’re in!
