Lawrence Rabson

Although hard work for improved health and fitness is very important, finding enjoyment in the process is essential in obtaining and sustaining our overall fitness in mind, body and spirit.

As a professional ballet dancer, I learned that dedication and discipline was essential for success. Throughout my career I discovered that the most important aspect of that success was the enjoyment found in the work itself. This knowledge is the basis for my philosophy of strength training and conditioning. Hard work and consistency is very important, but it must be enjoyable and creative to be habit forming and worthwhile.

It would be my great pleasure to help you achieve your fitness goals whether they be basic functional fitness or achieving athletic expertise. Hard work and dedication are requirements for success but I promise that the journey with me will be exciting and fun!

Lesley Ann Steeves

There was a time when I was working 16-hour days, got very little sleep and suffered from anxiety. My family, my workouts, and my healthy diet seemed to be taking a back seat to my career. 

I knew I had to make a change—I wanted to be happy and live my best possible life.

To me movement is life, so my journey began by getting my group fitness certificate. I have now been teaching for eight years and I absolutely love it!  I’ve discovered that exercise and helping others are truly what makes me happy. With this improved lifestyle, I felt compelled to pursue a personal training certificate.

Research has shown that regular exercise can make you feel happier: it can increase the production of endorphins, which are known to help produce positive feelings and reduce the perception of pain. Who wouldn’t want that?

If you want to feel happier, healthier and more energetic, I can help you get there.

The task ahead of you is never greater than the strength within you.

Saule Amirbekova

Competent, professional and motivated, and a member of the RMPQ, my massage therapy training allows me to offer therapeutic, preventive, relaxation and well-being massage. I have experience working with people of all ages, as well as pregnant women. Each person’s unique needs are particularly important to me: a massage will never be the same from person to person or from session to session.

According to the principles of the Japanese technique of Shiatsu, any discomfort (physical, emotional or mental) indicates an energetic imbalance in the body. This massage is given over clothing. Vital energy is released in the meridians through mobilizations, stretching and pressure applied to specific points. On a physical level, Shiatsu eliminates tension caused by stress and relieves muscle and joint pain. Released from tension, muscles gain flexibility. In the same way, this massage technique stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation.

  • Therapeutic massage
  • Relaxation massage
  • Cranial massage
  • Perinatal massage
