Why me?

Hi! I’m Colleen and I am just a human who used to hate my body.
In 2019, my life was turned upside down to only turn right side up in 2020. After being furloughed and laid off, I choose to accept my new free time to go on a self love journey. Through my journey, I went back to school to obtain my personal training certification, I wanted to take back my body and fall back in love. Fitness and body confidence has now become my passion.
My fitness journey started when I joined my first roller derby team. I loved the fast action, strategy and hard hits. But this quickly turned into a desire to coach and teach. I joined the training committee where I taught skaters how to fall safely and jump high. Seeing the “ah-ha” moment is what filled my heart the most. I retired in 2019 and am now enjoying a less bruised life.
In 2017, I saw my first burlesque performance. Within the first beat of the song, I knew I needed to try this. I made a declaration and began working on my first act. Seven months of love, laughter, tears and a little blood, I performed my first act. It was the most thrilling and heart filling experience I have ever felt. With this new found passion of the art of the tease, I knew I needed to give this feeling back to the world. I love combining my derby and burlesque background into my fitness passion.
