"As a survivor of colon cancer and having had two hip replacements I wasn't ready to become old and immobile. I am so happy now! After starting a routine to strengthen my muscles, I can walk better and I can get in and out of a car easier, too. I can stand for a longer time when I bake, which is a favourite past time of mine. Kit is helping me to improve my balance so that I don't worry about falling and can then have more fun in life!" Ms Lorraine Sollows, 81 Ottawa, Ontario

" Kit confirmed, supported and informed my decision to affirm the value of my life by becoming physically fit.
She stated the actual science, and useful rules of thumb to guide my own physical efforts.
And perhaps the most important outreach of all came on the spiritual plane. I had previously seemed to find it impossible to throw off my sense of grief, misery and hopelessness. But with Kit's advice and leadership I seemed to see a fork coming up in my path, with one side leading to misery and death while the other way led towards light, to fulfilment and life.
No one else I have ever met comes anywhere close to offering your combination of mind, body and soul gifts. Thank you so much! Mr. Sandy Munroe, 65 Your #1 fan in Nova Scotia

"It has been nine months now that I have been working with Kit on improving my fitness. As a fitness trainer, I have found Kit to be highly professional and very knowledgeable. As someone struggling with a weight problem, the fitness training has been a challenge, but Kit has made it fun and positive. I enjoy the workouts, and can say not only do I feel better physically, but my golf game has improved considerably as a result of the fitness training. I would recommend Kit to anyone as an excellent fitness trainer and as an individual who really cares about how you are doing." Mr. John Hoyles, 58 Ottawa, Ontario

Tim is getting a stronger core using a medicine ball.
"The past year has seen a change for the better in my outlook on life.
We started with two sessions per week
each of one-hour duration consisting of ten exercises (HSEP). Recently,
we reduced the sessions to once a week
because I can now operate alone. I look forward to the weekly visits
with a very positive and energetic state of mind thanks to Kit. My
cardiologist, the doctor who signed the physical Activity Sheet
allowing me to undertake the program, commented
favourably when he examined me recently and even said that I looked
younger." Mr. Jig McDougall, 85 Ottawa, Ontario

"If I have a fall, I can now pick myself up, thanks to the strength I have gained with Kit's coaching." Ms Edla Glass, 91 Ottawa, Ontario
"I have only been working out with Kit for a few weeks now but I am
already
noticing results in my upper body, lower body and core strength levels.
I
have been very impressed with the way she modifies the exercises
slightly
from session to session to ensure that my body continues to be
challenged.
More importantly, I find myself looking forward to my workouts with
her,
because of the mental, as well as physical benefits. I would highly
recommend Kit as a personal trainer and wellness specialist.
It is an investment which is well worth the time and the money." Ms Cathy Parker, 49 Ottawa, Ontario
