"I was in a car accident in 2018 and had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that changed my life forever. I spent 5 years suffering in pain because most movements would cause pain or make me dizzy. I became afraid of movement and my nervous system was very sensitive, so most activities would cause pain or severe discomfort.
If I tried to workout, my symptoms increased so much that I sometimes couldn't independently walk or talk for days. It was my new normal to spend most days in bed and I had accepted a painful life with limited movement.
I finally found Erin and after working with her for over a year, I wound't be where I am today without her. She has helped me learn what I'm able to do and how I can incorporate exercise into my life wihtout suffering afterword. I've rediscovered a passion for fitness and I now prioritize my daily exercises which helps managing my pain and mental health.
I no longer feel like I'm in a strangers body, and with Erin's help, I feel stronger and more confident than I've felt in 6 years. She motivates me to challenge myself while also staying within my limitations. I used to feel embarrassed about my abilities after my accident, and now I feel proud of how far I've come and how hard my brain is working.
Erin is the kindest, most patient person and has so much knowledge about the brain and body. She truly cares about her clients overall well-being and anyone who gets to work with her has hit the jackpot!"

“Erin is a fantastic person as well as a talented and skilled trainer to work with! I feel very confident referring patients to her and love that we can communicate to help provide the best continued care to our patients. Knowing that they will be motivated to safely maintain their exercises at home between physiotherapy sessions has been invaluable. It has been wonderful to work as team to provide well rounded care.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Erin collaboratively with a mutual client. She is an invaluable resource in the community to help clients continue their rehabilitation at home. Her wide skill set includes not only personal training but also a background in training for clients with neurological conditions. Erin’s knowledge base and enthusiasm helped provide well rounded care to my client. With her help, he was able to safely complete an exercise program at his home. I look forward to working with her again soon with future clients.”

Working with Erin has been a game changer. As a manual therapist, it has been incredibly helpful to work alongside Erin with my clients who live with advanced medical conditions (Parkinson’s, cancer, etc…). Those clients who work with her regularly make incredible progress in terms of mobility, strength, endurance and overall capacity for the important things in their life. That progress translate to the table in clinic leading less pain, ability to progress treatment plans at an increased rate and, for many, less frequent need for treatment. She has been incredibly quick and thorough in communicating about clients and very engaged in co-created collaborative efforts. I would highly recommend clients and clinicians connect with Erin to see how they can best leverage her skills and experience.

"I cannot recommend Erin (Fitness Coach Extraordinaire) enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my Aunt, who has Alzheimer's. Erin's kindness, patience, and professionalism have made such a difference in my Aunt's life. She takes her on walks consistently, always showing up on time, and bringing a sense of joy and stability that my Aunt truly looks forward to.
It's heartwarming to see my Aunt light up when it's time for her walks with Erin. Not only has Erin helped improve my Aunt's physical health, but she has also brought a sense of comfort and routine into her life that means so much to our family.
Erin goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the incredible care and dedication she provides. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and makes a real impact, Erin is the one to trust!

Erin's training has been incredibly instrumental in helping me cope with stage 4 small bowel cancer and helping me endure 116 rounds of chemo so far. I feel my physical stamina and endurance has improved which allows me to tolerate more chemo. Erin coordinates with my RMT to ensure that my body is improving in a harmonious way that would not be possible at a traditional gym. I do not feel my improvement wouldn't have occurred without Erin's 1 on 1 help. She is always encouraging and persistent, but in a good way. She genuinely cares about her clients health.
In short she is helping to improve my quality of life and is getting me ready for my first year in competitive gokart racing that requires incredible core strength.I highly recommend her as she will make you believe that you can achieve and then follow through so that you see the results and say I did it!
