So Here I am….
I have come on line to serve more people who are frustrated with the direction of their health and fitness. It doesn’t matter that you have started or need to start; you have to start somewhere.
I have a strong desire to help others. I know how people can be and they don’t understand that they have a choice. I want to help others become aware and find themselves and realize what they are doing. I want them to understand and know that they have a choice.
People are paralyzed by old habits and beliefs and conditioning. They have little ability to breakthrough all that and have what they truly want for themselves. People are unhappy in their own bodies and are so imprisoned within themselves. I want to share my knowledge, experience, story and energy to help people empower themselves for the greatness they were born to be.
It’s time for change! I am going to do my part in spreading the energy and empowerment for health, fitness and a strong mind . We have such an immense ability that we haven’t even touched upon yet and we need to find that and share it with others. We can create our own future with our powerful thoughts, feelings, and actions.
The Journey Began
I became extremely passionate about personal development. I needed to become someone that others wanted to work with. I didn’t think that I was that person seeing as how when I had ventured into an MLM business I didn’t get the success that I was told I could get. I was passionate about health and I was passionate about staying fit and looking after my body physically. I needed to develop my mind. So I have spent that last 10 years doing just that.
In the Beginning
I grew up in a small town on the prairies of Manitoba. I was the second of four daughters. We only moved once when I was 4 so it was in this small town I grew up. When I was 15, my parents split up. That was devastating to me! My father the Minister of a Church with that kind of relationship with GOD, was leaving us!! You can imagine how that rocked my world, and not in a good way.
I buried myself in sports and my part time a job and partying through the rest of my high school years. The relief I felt when I left to go to the city nearby for University was short lived when I found out how lonely I really was. It was a tough year that first year!!
Moving On
I was so in love with my goal of becoming a Gym teacher that there was nothing going to get in my way! I stuck it out! I worked at the YMCA for my board and was able to put myself through University over the next 6 years. I took a long haul of it as I added a second major ( language) and I had to work LOTS to be able to afford it. I even got 2 bursaries to go to Quebec to Study on 2 separate occasions and I took a course in Montpellier France one summer as well. I was focused!
No more JOB
Jump ahead…………………………….. several years and I am teaching. The dreams of eventually being an Administrator of a school had died and I wasn’t having any fun being a teacher anymore. The kids were awesome, but the rest of it stunk! I wanted out!
With the support of my husband, we made it work.
My dream
My dream of being a leader in the physically active world, which had been squashed in the JOB world had actually brightened, as I moved out of the Education system. I knew that I wanted to help others. I had been teaching since I was 14 years old. I was (still am) a fitness leader and I have a Degree behind me with Recreation as a major. I was ( still am)an advocate for looking after oneself. Exercise was and always will be a vitally important part of my life. Not enough people do what they need to do to be physically able to age. Seriously. Some people are so out of shape they can’t even get to a sit or walk comfortably by the time they are 70 years old.
I am here to encourage, inspire, educate, and help you become all that you can be. It isn’t always easy, but with a little perseverance, and belief you are bound to end up successful. Let’s connect.


Hi Holly, You are filling a very important need. You have accomplished a lot and should be proud of what you are doing.
Thanks much.
Thank you much!!! I have a dream, Eileen!
The book is out and available in print and e-book form from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Check out the website and let’s see some athletic guys in their 20′s perform the routines. The 8 time Canadian National Boxing Champion Ibrahim Kamal and 5 time Canadian National Ladies Figure Champion Susan Arruda give me full marks for what was accomplished. My ancestors would be proud
Holly,
You are definitely one with perseverance. I am a true believer in physical activity as well. When I was in college I had no clue why I was there. No direction or real purpose of why I was taking classes. So, one day I decided I’ll jump the boat and join the military. I prepared for the ASVAB, started running and doing callisthenics (mind you I was not an athlete nor did I grow up around athletes) and in doing so I found that I really enjoyed being physical and gaining the mental clarity after a run, and all the empowerment I felt that came along with physical activity.
I discovered that the university I was attending had a program that was related to my new passion. So, I ended up cancelling my military plans and declared my major…finally! Exercise Science. And a minor in Food & Nutrition.
Although I do not utilize my degree per se in this online industry at the moment, I do live and inspire others to commit to be fit in one way or another. Matter of fact, one of my younger sisters is a gym instructor for body combat and body pump at our local gym. She proudly tells everyone that I am her inspiration.
Thanks for sharing your story Holly. Looks like we have some things in common!
