Jackie’s passion for active living started when she was very young, as a participant, competitor, and then coach in sports such as skiing, gymnastics, softball, swimming, water-polo, diving and trampoline. She currently enjoys various forms of exercise, especially cycling, strength training and yoga. Her drive to live a healthy life became unyielding when her mother died of cancer at a young age, and reinforced a few years later when her father succumbed to cancer as well.

Being a mother of two provincially and nationally ranked female athletes, she knows all too well what it takes to juggle the demands of being on the road driving everyone from one activity, (training, competition or specialist) to another, running a household, a career, a business and still manage to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

She is an entrepreneur and true visionary who believes in empowering everyone that she comes in contact with. Her motivation, determination and caring will leave you feeling like you really can go beyond your limits.
