Hi, I'm Mimie

I’m an ex-corporate girl turned Fitness & Nutrition Coach for busy women.

I help women take better care of their bodies, so they can take better care of their business and life.

Too often, it’s easy to get caught up in the vortex of work or running your business that you end up taking care of everything and everyone else, but yourself.  

Your physical and mental health may have been put on the back burner.  As women, we often put ourselves last, behind our work and our loved ones.  It's an enduring quality, yet self-sabotaging.  

I know what it’s like to have a hectic schedule while wearing multiple hats. It’s easy to put your health on the side lines and say things like: 

"I'm too tired"

“I don’t have time today” 

“I’ll get to exercising tomorrow” 

“I’ll make lunch tomorrow.  I'll buy today.” 

“I’m travelling this week, so I’ll start getting healthier next week”

“I’ll just get this one thing done, then squeeze in a workout later” (later never happens)

If you’re feeling a bit sheepish right now because this may sound like you, that’s okay.  I’ve been there too. 

I've had my fair share of the "day after guilt" of not exercising or because I ate that fast food lunch (again), or because I didn't have any energy left to spend quality time with my loved ones.

The good news is, it’s never too late to change. Right now.  Right this second.  As long as you DECIDE and COMMIT to take better care of your body, the rest will take care of itself in time.  That's what happened to me.

My vision is to build a business that empowers, educates and elevates ambitious women to another level.  A level that will bring joy, freedom and confidence from unleashing physical and mental potential.  To give women the best chance to live a happier, higher quality of life.

My story...

For most of my adult life, I worked in the corporate world, which essentially meant that I was “always on”.  Work never really stopped for me…unless I was sleeping.  Unfortunately, my sleep was not quality sleep.  So I would typically wake up tired, foggy and not refreshed.

I wasn't eating the right kinds of food.  I ate out way too much.  I wasn't exercising the right way to maximize results.  I had a gym membership, but if truth be told, there were times that I hardly broke a sweat.  But it felt good to say "I went to the gym".

This vicious cycle took a toll on me and I was tired of feeling "meh" all the time.  

So I decided to make a change -- for good.  

I learned how to stay in shape while working long hours, travelling for work and taking care of the home.  All without sacrificing delicious food, hunger or living in the gym.  And yes, I do occasionally have ice cream and love wine!

I lost fat and leaned out and am stronger than I've ever been - - and most of that change happened in my early 40's.  I don't own a scale. I gauge my progress with how my clothes fit and how I perform in my training.

I decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, Pn1 Certified to help other busy women how to get the body they want, without deprivation or crazy workout schedules.

It’s never too late to start getting healthier.

A new beginning

In 2016, I made a big scary decision to leave a successful marketing career in the corporate world to build Keeping It Real Fit, Fitness and Nutrition Coaching for busy women.  

It's NOT just about weight.

It’s about being stronger and feeling healthier. 

It’s about being more confident in your own skin.

It’s about finding a freedom.

Freedom from a body that holds you back.  Free from having low energy. Free from hiding your body.  Free from the fear of potential health problems.  

When we treat our body well, we feel good.

• Imagine feeling free and confident speaking in front of a crowd or on camera, knowing that you look your best and portraying a positive image for your company.

• Imagine feeling free to wear a form fitting dress or those skinny jeans.

• Imagine feeling free and having ample energy to run, ski, swim, hike or play with the kids.

• Imagine feeling free to book that beach vacation, so you can rock that bikini!

• Imagine feeling free from worrying about your health.

This is all possible for you and a reality that is closer than you think.  

The best part is that by setting your body free, there are positive ripple effects on other areas of your life.  

Such as your relationships, quality of sleep, stress, and your work. 

How we physically feel has ripple effects on our mental and emotional health.

Keeping It Real Fit coaching aims to set you free to live your fullest life.  

If you’re still reading this, you’ve likely come to the realization that you may need a wing woman as an accountability partner and guide.

Fast forward your life.  Close your eyes and imagine how you want to FEEL about your body.  Hold on to that emotion.  I want to help you get there.  Ready to make this the year to put your health on the front burner?
