At Second Wind Exercise Therapy, my mission is to empower individuals to improve their health, strength, and quality of life through safe, purposeful exercise and sustainable lifestyle practices. I am committed to providing individualized, evidence-informed training in a quiet, supportive environment where every client feels respected, understood, and confident in their abilities.

I specialize in working with individuals living with cancer, stable chronic illness, seniors, and those with unique needs, ensuring that every program is thoughtfully designed to meet clients where they are. Through hands-on guidance, professional expertise, and a compassionate approach, I strive to help each person build resilience, restore function, and move with greater ease in their daily lives.

My goal is to create a space where clients receive not only expert instruction, but also consistent support, encouragement, and accountability—so they can safely progress, regain independence, and achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their overall well-being.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, committed to ongoing professional development and evidence-informed practice.

As someone living beyond cancer myself, I bring not only professional expertise but also personal understanding to my work. I recognize the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that can accompany a diagnosis and recovery, and I approach each client with empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting their unique journey toward improved health and well-being.

Cancer and Exercise Benefits

Enhanced Treatment Tolerance

  • Properly prescribed, regular exercise helps cancer patients better tolerate the physical stress and side effects of treatments
  • Patients who exercise often experience fewer treatment-related complications


Reduced Treatment Side Effects

  • Exercise has been shown to alleviate common side effects of cancer treatments, such as fatigue, nausea, and pain
  • It can also help prevent or minimize issues like muscle wasting and joint stiffness, which are often associated with prolonged periods of inactivity during treatment.


Immune System Support

  • Exercise has a positive impact on the immune system by promoting the circulation of immune cells and enhancing their activity. This can potentially help the body better defend itself against cancer cells and infections, especially during a time when the immune system might be compromised due to treatments. 


Psychological Well-Being

  • Regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and improve overall emotional well-being 
  • Boosts mood and promotes a sense of accomplishment, which can be particularly important during the challenging journey of cancer


Improved Treatment Outcomes

  • Regular exercise may enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer therapies by increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tumor cells. This, in turn, could make tumor cells more susceptible to treatment


Exercise Programs

  • Pre-Treatment - Exercise programs are created to help improve cardiovascular health and muscle strength to prepare the body, mind and soul for the journey ahead. May require physician approval.
  • During Treatment - Low level exercise or simple movement programs. Must be at least 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery. Will require physician approval.
  • Post Treatment - Low to Moderate level exercise programs. Must be at least 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery and may require physician approval.
