Thank you for Being Here
Health and Fitness Professional, Founder of Elevate Fit Wellness
Hi, I am Jacqueline, and I believe that Movement is Medicine.
My journey into fitness and wellness began from a deeply personal place. After having my children, I struggled with significant weight gain and chronic back pain. A diagnosis of functional scoliosis made everyday life challenging, but it also became a turning point. I started working with a personal trainer who later became my powerlifting coach, and everything changed. Through strength training, I discovered how powerful movement could be—not just for my body, but for my mind and spirit as well. I gained strength, confidence, and a sense of empowerment that transformed my life.
This experience inspired me to share the gift of movement with others, helping them overcome their own challenges and achieve their goals.
Teaching and Learning Are at My Core
I’ve always been a teacher at heart, with over 20 years of experience educating students of all ages. My work in special education taught me the value of meeting people where they are and designing approaches that honour their unique needs.
While teaching, I began to explore my passion for movement and wellness. Over the years, I’ve earned certifications in yoga, Pilates, Exercise Therapy, Adaptive and Inclusive Training, and pelvic floor health. I’m committed to lifelong learning and continually deepening my knowledge of functional movement science to provide the best support for my clients.
My Philosophy: Embodied Movement for a Better Life
I believe in the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection. When movement is embodied—when we fully engage with it—we unlock the power to transform not just our physical health, but our overall quality of life. This philosophy is at the heart of everything I do.
By fostering mindful and functional movement, I aim to help my clients gain freedom in how they move, reduce pain, and feel empowered in their own bodies. Whether you’re looking to eliminate aches and pains, improve mobility, build strength, or simply feel better in your day-to-day life, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
