Kind Words

From Fitness and Health Professionals

I have known Carolyn personally and professionally through the fitness industry for 35 years.  Carolyn cares deeply about individuals, motivating and inspiring people to advance physically mentally and spiritually. Her kind, gracious approach has been seen in all she accomplishes - program directing facilities; creating and lovingly instructing an enormous variety of exercise classes; an excellent, natural educator, Carolyn has presented workshops, classroom courses and been invited to speak at many conferences.   

Carolyn has been a CFES Educator since 1991 educating instructors and personal trainers to certification and has served on CFES Advisory Board of Directors since 2011. Her greatest dedication and professional skills rang true for 25 years, as an owner, director and manager of Northridge Health Performance Centre in Nanaimo, BC providing a loving and productive haven for all members and staff. 

Carolyn expanded her knowledge of topics to teach under the wellness banner, counseling and advancing many individuals on nutrition, stress management, personal confidence, exercise plans and a non- stop website service presenting home made healthy recipes for all to enjoy. 

Carolyn is a natural nurturer and her professional and caring contribution for literally thousands of people is her legacy. Thank-you Carolyn for all you have and are continuing to contribute to so many people’s lives. It is with great honour, pleasure, and love I continue to know Carolyn and share in her life.

I have known Carolyn professionally since 2007 in my role as a university professor in the Sport, Health, and Physical Education department at Vancouver Island University. Each year, I select a handful of successful, organized, and enthusiastic leaders in the community to tour my class through their facility and give a lecture on their business operations for my Administration course in Physical Activity. Carolyn has managed to, not only survive over 20 years in this tough industry as owner, operator, and fitness professional, but done it very successfully. Carolyn is such a hard worker who has been very creative and adaptive in the fitness/wellness industry as times changed, As a class leader, she is very enthusiastic and motivational. As an owner/operator, she is very inspirational to my students who see the end product of hard work and good organizational skills. Her facility is well-maintained with many classes and services. Well done, Carolyn!

Read what Carolyn’s Ageless Body, Ageless Beauty clients are saying:

“I lost 2 dress sizes during the first 6 weeks following your Ageless Body Program and feel amazing!”

This program is full of life changing scienced based information, tools & support. The lifestyle made huge changes for my body in a very short time.

“The Ageless Body, Ageless Beauty Program has really opened my eyes.”

“After reading about the Ageless Body Program I decide to give it a try since going through menopause I have battled excess weight. No matter how much I worked out and how little I ate, the pounds piled on. To deal with this I have been all over the map with different diets. From the weekly meetings to low carb high protein plans, to counting every calorie and to any fad diet. I could always drop a few pounds and then I would get discouraged and gain those back and more. I got few results with what seemed like a lot of effort. And I never felt like I was over eating. The Ageless Body Program has really opened my eyes. I have dropped 21 pounds since beginning your program and continue to lose weight.
