From the time I was a teenager, I had my heart set on entrepreneurship. I am of the belief that entrepreneurship is a mentality more than a path you choose. At 19 years old I began my journey in retail ownership, where I developed a strong foundation in business operations, team leadership, and customer engagement. This project quickly made me learn hard lessons about business, managing people, and the importance of building relationships and networks. While a lot of people my age at the time were partying, I was building businesses and constantly looking to solve problems within my community. Building on that experience, I created the most special and important work of my life, Mo Tus Nua Wellness; Northern Manitoba’s first purpose-based yoga studio, wellness centre, and smoothie bar—a grassroots endeavour that fostered connection, mindfulness, and holistic health within the community. More than just a business, this wellness centre was a sacred space of deep spiritual healing and connection. Before the studio was even painted, the Medicine Wheel was etched into its walls as part of the space’s creation. Elder Jack Robinson blessed the land and the studio, grounding it in traditional wisdom and honouring the First Nations culture around us. This space became more than a business—it was a place of healing, reflection, and connection. Our work was recognized when the studio was nominated by Vale Ltd. for the Hero of Mental Health award by CMHA Thompson—an honour that affirmed the profound impact we had in the North. I worked with many major organizations in the north, (Manitoba Hydro, Vale Ltd., Northern Regional Health Authority, Law Society of Manitoba, School District of Mystery Lake, Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine, Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, Hope North Recovery Center, Boys and Girls Club of Thompson, The Thompson Chamber of Commerce, Thompson Minor Hockey, Skate Thompson, The Thompson Public Library with the City of Thompson,) speaking at many events, teaching mindfulness to our public servants, reading to young children, to working with people suffering with addictions- just to name a few of my important work invested into Northern Manitoba. I will never forget my work there, as it was the beginning of my deeper understanding of community, resilience, and the power of creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. This foundation also led me to earn my Holistic Nutritionist designation and prior to the studio opening; multiple yoga certifications from schools across Canada, accumulating over 6,000 hours of training and experience. The studio evolved into a Yoga Teaching school, where my path changed to becoming the lead Yoga Training Facilitator. Teachers have gone on to teach all across Canada in different capacities, including incorporating it into First Nations healing programs. I am very proud of all of the work these teachers have and continue to offer to the communities around them. 

During these early years I became a mother to two little girls who are the absolute joy of my life, and inspired and continue to inspire me to constantly improve my standard of excellence in programs and services offered to our communities. From this, I pursued education as a Montessori educator, creating curriculums for young people- merging them with the teachings of yoga and offering these programs to our communities. My work in wellness and education kept me exactly where I wanted to be—present and engaged with my two little girls. Parenthood shaped my approach to entrepreneurship, allowing my business to evolve as my children grew.

Now, as my daughters navigate their teenage years, my work has evolved into high-level business consulting. I know my gift is understanding and caring for people, and being that empathetic set of eyes paired with high level experience, to connect your offering to your community in a way that is sustainable and authentic. Something I’ve observed can’t be taught in schools. I advise organizations on strategy, operations, and business development, helping leaders optimize their structures, identify growth opportunities, and create sustainable success. In addition to consulting, I teach and speak to teams about leadership, communication, diversity and inclusion, and workplace wellness—ensuring businesses cultivate strong, effective, and people-centered environments. To this day, I still teach yoga online so I can stay connected at ground level, to my communities that led the way for me to do the work I am doing now.

Now with experience spanning over 400 businesses nationwide, I’ve worked across industries, adapting to different service models and developing innovative solutions that drive impact.

Alongside my corporate consulting and training, I remain deeply invested in women’s hormonal healthcare. Specialization that has grown since 2016 when I finished my education. There is a significant gap in how hormonal health is understood and supported, particularly in its impact on personal well-being and professional performance. I work with women to bridge this gap—helping them reclaim their health, energy, and confidence so they can thrive in every aspect of their lives.

I believe the work you do in life should be fun—you should love what you do. For me, it has always been about people over profits, relationship-building, and guiding my clients to find alignment within their own leadership, lives, and businesses. I prioritize working with businesses and organizations that want to make an impact, underserved and diverse groups, that I have first hand experience knowing that sometimes, the hoops are bigger for us to jump through, but not impossible. I’m an advocate and activist for justice and equal opportunity for all, and remain closely connected to those determined to make a difference, remain on the right side of history, and want to leave an incredible and positive impact to the people around them.

Let’s work together to create solutions that empower growth and long-term success.
