ABOUT
Arise Lifestyle was established in 2017 to help busy women, moms, aspiring and retired competitors, and athletes achieve their fitness, nutrition, and physique goals while maintaining balance in their lives.
Since its creation, Arise Lifestyle has successfully assisted over 500 women, and I take immense joy in my role as a coach; it is truly the most fulfilling job. You can click here to see what my clients have to say and to explore some of the incredible transformations.
My coaching philosophy centers around designing personalized programs that clients genuinely enjoy. I equip them with the essential tools and support necessary for their success, ensuring that meal plans and training programs are not only effective but also enjoyable and exciting.
Through my work, I have discovered that many clients struggle with nutrition, particularly when it comes to creating balanced, protein-rich meals. For the past seven years, I have dedicated myself to teaching clients how to prepare delicious and healthy dishes that align with their training goals.

Fitness and nutrition have always played a significant role in my life. As a child, I was actively involved in competitive gymnastics, and throughout junior high and high school, I dedicated myself to school and club volleyball. When my competitive volleyball journey came to an end in 2012, I found my passion for the gym.
In 2013, I began working with a trainer, and by 2014, I competed for the first time, finishing in 2nd place in the bikini division, which led me to the provincials. Over the years, I competed four times in the bikini division and achieved my pro-qualifier qualification in 2019.
As I immersed myself in the bodybuilding world, I developed a deep love for the sport which inspired me to become a certified fitness and nutrition coach. Today, I work as a full-time online coach and have had the privilege of guiding over 500 women on their health and fitness journeys so far.
While bodybuilding will always hold a special place in my heart, what truly captivates me is the idea of leading a healthy, balanced, and active lifestyle. My journey has taken me from the extremes of competition to a more balanced approach, and as I transitioned into motherhood, I found myself back at square one postpartum - but thankful to have knowledge on nutrition and regaining strength. Through these experiences, I learned how to cultivate both physical and mental strength while prioritizing my health every day. Now, my goal is to share this knowledge with other women.
Whether you aspire to enhance your nutrition, gain muscle and strength, prepare for a photoshoot or event, lose weight, rediscover yourself postpartum, or pursue anything in between, Arise is here to support you. With 11 years of bodybuilding experience and a decade as a certified trainer, nutritionist, and pre/postnatal coach, I am confident in my ability to guide you toward becoming a healthier and happier version of yourself.
