​Science-Backed Wellness Talks That Help You
Think Better, Feel Better and Live Better

 

Helping People Replace the Fear of Aging with the Science of Possibility.

For most of my life, I believed what many of us have been taught - that aging meant slowing down, losing our memory, and accepting decline as inevitable. Then life changed my perspective.

​

After years of pouring my energy into helping others, I experienced a severe burnout that left me physically paralyzed for eight hours. That frightening moment became a turning point. As I rebuilt my own health, I immersed myself in neuroscience, behaviour change, and nervous system regulation. What I discovered transformed not only my wellbeing, but also my life's work.

Today, I'm passionate about helping people understand one simple truth:

While we can't stop getting older, we can influence how we experience it.

​

As an award-winning Recreationist, motivational speaker, brain health educator, wellness coach, and founder of MYRECREO.HEALTH, I've spent more than 25 years helping people build healthier brains, stronger bodies, calmer nervous systems, and more meaningful connections to themself and their relationsips.

​

I hold a degree in Health Promotion from Queen's University and am a Certified Wellness Coach, Brain Fitness Instructor, and Personal Trainer.  Before launching MYRECREO.HEALTH, I spent 16 years with the City of Toronto as a Recreationist and Recreational Caseworker designing innovative community wellness programs that improved physical activity, emotional wellbeing, and social connection. Along the way, I was honoured to receive two Parks and Recreation Ontario and Ministry of Health Promotion Innovation Awards for creating programs that helped strengthen healthier communities, a Public Sector Quality Fair award for Best Practices and The City Manager's Award for Leadership and Innovative Partnership Programming.

​

Today, I bring together the latest research in neuroscience, healthy aging, positive psychology, movement, mindfulness, and habit formation to create interactive experiences that audiences don't just enjoy - they remember. Whether I'm speaking to retirement communities, healthcare professionals, corporations, staff teams or community organizations, my goal is always the same: to leave people feeling hopeful, empowered, and equipped with practical tools they can use immediately.

​

I'm also the co-host of the Let's Relieve Regret podcast and a published author in The New Prime: Best Years, Best Life, where I continue my mission of helping people embrace the second half of life with curiosity, confidence, and purpose.​
