Our Purpose

Hey there! I’m Bria,

​

I’m a mom to two wildly amazing young women (and their equally awesome partners), a proud Yaya to three inspiring grandbabies, and a lifelong lover of words, movement, and living life on purpose.

​

By trade, I’m a Writer, Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach*, and Active Aging Specialist—basically, I help people feel better in their bodies, age with badassery, and have more fun doing it.

​

I call Ontario, Canada home, where you’ll find me outdoors as often as humanly possible—hiking through forests, swimming in one of our beautiful Great Lakes, camping under the stars, or, in winter, gliding through snow on cross-country skis. When I’m not embracing nature, you’ll find me at the gym or chasing after one of my grandbabies with a snack.

​

Before "Little Lyon" I spent most of my adult life working for the Provincial Government, mastering the art of making the dull sound urgent, until, I made the leap (gracefully) into a new life focused on health, wellness, and fitness. Now, I help others reconnect with their bodies and their joy before burnout, health crises, and the need for pharma-intervention.

​​

My inspiration for wellness (and kicking life’s butt) comes from defeating cancer—twice. Yep, cancer tried me twice, and I said, “Not today, Satan.” Now, 19 years cancer-free, I credit my high vibes and solid health to a holistic lifestyle, inner peace, and the kind of spiritual grounding that keeps my  chakras and my commitment to longevity, perfectly aligned.
