Meet the Team

HI, I’m Janelle! Like many, I have the classic Yukon tale… I moved up north for an adventure and never looked back. My roots are Personal Training and lifestyle coaching and I pride myself on practicing what I preach, creating balance. My vision is to help my clients reach their full potential through movement of the body and to discover how capable they really are. I believe that movement clears the mind and allows us to break through limiting beliefs to live happier, more fulfilled lives. My philosophy is functional fitness; to me this means prescribing fun, real-life, and balanced movements to enrich quality of life.

When I’m not at work you can spot me at Midnight Sun coffee roasters – maybe coffee is what fuels my bright outlook on life! I spend most of my days hitting the trails with my furry friends, going to fitness classes and fulfilling my introverted self at home. I graduated as a Registered Massage Therapist from the Alberta College of Massage Therapy in June 2020.

Janelle offers Registered Massage Therapy, personal training and group fitness classes.
