Hi i'm Barbara, I am a certified Yoga teacher, Zumba instructor, Holistic nutritionist and certified specialist in Healthy gut practices.

Having fun while you get fit to feel fabulous is what I am all about!

Native to Nanaimo I am a long-time gym goer and health enthusiast. From starting with yogalates classes in Vancouver in 2005 to Les Mills classes in New Zealand to Power Vinyassa Yoga in Seattle and heavy power lifting interjected throughout I finally made my way back to Nanaimo in 2017 where I quit my corporate desk job to train as a holistic Nutritionist. I fuse all my knowledge and skills gathered along my life journey together to bring empowering experiences so that I can help people live their best lives.

My love of nature and all the benefits of being surrounded by it while breathing in the fresh, clean air made Jumpstart a natural fit for this wellness advocate.

When not teaching you can find me by the ocean, or in the forest practicing photography, on the mountain swooping down the slopes, creating something delicious in the kitchen, cycling with friends or practicing chords on my baritone ukulele.
