Your guide to achieving lasting fitness, one balanced step at a time

meet Olivia

My journey began as an athlete throughout my upbringing, but it wasn't until I retired from gymnastics at 18 that I truly grasped the profound impact that sports and physical activity had on my well-being. The abrupt shift from rigorous training to inactivity and poor dietary choices took a toll on my body and self-esteem.

This led me down a turbulent path of yo-yo dieting and erratic exercise routines. I'd start each week with an extreme, unbalanced diet and excessive workouts, only to end up breaking from the restrictive diet and binge eating. This cycle left me overwhelmed with guilt, convinced I was failing, and perpetually restarting the process.

From burnt-out and exhausted to vibrant and radiantly healthy.

my story

work with me

In hindsight, this was a toxic and enduring pattern that harmed my relationship with food, exercise, and self-image. Breaking free from it took time and conscious effort, ultimately resulting in a healthier and sustainable approach to well-being.

This transformative experience ignited my passion for helping women cultivate a holistic and sustainable approach to fitness. Over the past 6 years, I've had the privilege of guiding women from various walks of life and age groups, helping them transform into empowered, more confident, and healthier individuals.

I kept trying to lose weight through strict diets and intense workouts, but it only led to a cycle of burnout, frustration, and zero lasting results.

ALL OF NOTHING APPROACH

After graduating high school, I left behind competitive gymnastics and started university — two major life changes that completely shifted my routine. I began gaining weight for the first time and started feeling self-conscious in my body and struggled to feel like myself.

I have been training with Olivia for about 3 months now. I can’t say enough about how incredible she has been in helping me transform my body and mindset. From the start, her approach was not just about workouts, but about building strength, confidence, and making sustainable changes in my life. Her guidance on proper nutrition has made a world of difference in how I fuel my body and feel throughout the day. The workouts are challenging yet tailored to my personal goals, and she always knows how to push me in the right way without overdoing it.

I found Olivia very serendipitously at the perfect time. I was looking for a six week program to take on a new challenge, but quickly into working with her I got hooked. Her approach to health and fitness is so balanced, healthy and approachable. She is incredibly knowledgeable - constantly adjusting workouts on the fly to accommodate injuries, skillset, energy etc. My favourite thing about working with Liv, hands down, is her passion. She has truly found her calling and it shows in every session. 6 stars if I could!

Olivia is an incredible trainer! She helped me lose fat, build muscle, and navigate the challenges of post-menopause with ease. Based in Etobicoke, she’s flexible with her scheduling and even offers to come to your home for sessions, which was a huge help for me. Her knowledge in nutrition is a bonus and really made a difference in my journey. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and knows her stuff, I highly recommend working with Olivia!
