Where Science meets Soul
Care for
your Body and mind
Movement is one of the most powerful ways to transform our mind and body. Through movement we develop proprioception – or awareness – of our bodies and how we relate to the world around us. This helps us to develop practical things like improved coordination for athletics but also allows us to tune in to the signs of when to train hard and when to rest.
Food IS medicine. The foods we eat and the state of our digestion are directly related to how we feel in our day to day physically and emotionally, our choices either moving us towards wellness or dis-ease. Cultivating awareness around what and how we eat is an essential part of our journey to better health.
Through mindfulness practices we cultivate interoception, or awareness of our internal world and how we relate to ourselves. We begin to invite in a state of rest and digest, where we release stress in body and mind and allow it to return to balance. When balanced we experience less anxiety, depression and other maladies of the mind.
Explore how these three pillars of health can help you look and feel your best inside and out.

JOURNEY WITH ME
I came into personal training over 20 years ago after a post- partum weight loss ignited a spark to return to coaching, something I’d done in my earlier life. Having been an athlete myself, I’ve trained my clients for life and sport – now considered ‘Functional Training’ – and hold a number of sports specific and active rehabilitation certifications as well as personal trainer, nutrition, and now Ayurveda. I’ve coached hundreds of clients, thousands of hours and had the opportunity to work with celebrities, athletes of all ages and plenty of everyday people like you and me. I’ve guided clients through injury, illness and transition and meet each of them where they are and help them find ways to integrate the practices most beneficial to their unique mindbody type.

What People are Saying
“Dayna developed a meal plan and training program that worked at strengthening muscles that I didn’t know existed. She taught me that I don’t have to lift heavy weights or spend hours in the gym to achieve results. In less than a year, she changed my life! I dropped 40 lbs. I achieved the top-level fitness appraisal at work. I have more energy and haven’t had a migraine since. People at work are constantly commenting on the change. Although I live 3 provinces away, I schedule regular visits with Dayna to update my program to keep me on track.”
“My sessions with Dayna are the cornerstone in a foundation of health and wellness that has blossomed from my early days in training. At one point, when I still did not like exercise, I was stressed about money and dropped my sessions for over a year. This was completely unnecessary because I now understand that Dayna supports her clients where they are, and would have supported me in staying active even if I had to drop my frequency to once every few weeks. She truly cares about her clients. My sessions with Dayna also helped me to heal and get strong emotionally during an incredibly challenging time. To this day, one of the amazing benefits of my regular sessions with Dayna is the reduction of stress and the strengthening of my inner resources, helping me to address all the issues that makes life, life. I honestly would not be the person I am today – someone who makes a difference and improves the lives of others – if I had not been helped by Dayna along the way.”
"I have been training with Dayna for nearly ten years. I started seeing Dayna because after a weekend of competing in high performance karting I was very sore, especially my lower back, ribs and neck. The kart was driving me instead of me driving the kart, I was out of shape and needed help. Training with Dayna started mid-season and by the time the following season came, I was definitely making progress. I was no longer in pain at the end of the karting weekends and my results started to improve. Eventually I started winning races at the club and provincial level and in 2009 I won my first of two Western Canadian Championships. Achieving these goals was only made possible by Dayna's understanding of my needs and her ability to always keep me motivated. I can honestly state that I have not had as rewarding a decade, physically, in my life since I was in my teens (I'm 49 now). I attribute this solely to working with Dayna and the incredible attitude that she always has that makes training with her so productive and enjoyable. Dayna changed my life."
