Informative Events

More than just talks or workshops – you’ll enjoy these interactive, memorable experiences.

Interactive talks are an excellent way to educate employees on how to start, and motivate them to continue on a path towards better health. They’re a great option for employee education and appreciation events, and a healthy change of pace during conventions, conferences, or training sessions.

My diverse background and education enables me to speak on a variety of topics on fitness, nutrition and wellness. My experience as a manager of five-star fitness clubs, my expertise in fitness training, nutrition and private coaching, and my own life lessons are incorporated into my presentations. By the end of one of these fun and inspiring seminars, everyone will have acquired some real-life solutions to fit their fast-paced lifestyles and be empowered to make healthy changes.
