I’m so glad to be here with you
I’m grateful our paths crossed, as I believe there's always a meaningful reason for it. I’d love to hear more about your goals and discuss how I can help you reach them. It’s been a long, rewarding journey to arrive at this point where my work feels truly aligned. I’m here, wholeheartedly, to support you in any way I can.
It was truly an honour to receive my Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu from Master Royce Gracie in October, 2023. I had been dreaming and training for this moment for over 15 years. This accreditation makes me Royce's first and only Female Black Belt in Canada, and 5th in the world.
A BIT ABOUT ME…
Martial Arts has been the conduit and catalyst for profound change and extraordinary growth in my life. I've not only experienced this transformation personally, but I've also witnessed it in those around me and had the privilege of passing it on. While most people are aware of the physical benefits of training, the deeper, more intangible aspects can be elusive and are often only truly understood through firsthand experience.
I began my journey in Martial Arts at the age of 16. After a breakup with my boyfriend, I needed something that was purely mine. In my beat-up Ford Escort, I drove to my first class and was immediately captivated by the discipline and the resilience required. This became a cornerstone of my life.
Throughout my adult life, I continued to train in various Martial Arts disciplines. Eventually, I opened a studio in Vancouver when my family was young. Located in the beautiful community of Dunbar, I operated a highly successful gym for many years. Together, we built more than just a community—we became a family. Each and every person there made a significant impact on my life, and I was deeply honoured to be a part of theirs.
More coming…
