Meet Denise, a woman who knows what it means to be active and healthy, and have fun doing it! From an early age, Denise has always had a passion for movement and dance, having practiced ballet, tap, and jazz since she was three years old. Today, she is an avid gym-goer and loves strength training to keep her mind and body at peak performance.
Denise's passion for fitness led her to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce from Ryerson University, and a Financial Planning Diploma from Seneca College. After spending a decade in the financial industry, Denise decided to follow her dreams and become a personal trainer specializing in women's fitness for pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.
As a mother of two, Denise knows all too well the challenges that moms face when trying to stay active while dealing with postpartum recovery, C-Section, diastasis recti, prolapse and urinary incontinence. Because of her own personal struggles, Denise has made it her mission to help other moms bridge the gap between postpartum recovery and getting back to exercise safely and effectively.
Denise believes in the power of resistance training for women in all stages of life to build strong muscles and bones, alleviate aches and pains, fight against illness, and even boost one's mood.
When she's not working, you can find Denise enjoying the great outdoors while hiking or biking with her family. Denise is an inspiration to women of all ages who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and overcome any obstacle in their way.
