Tell us about yourself

I lived my passion for helping people and organizations. To this day, the drive for customer happiness and success has been no. 1 and has never wavered. The love of working with people to help them discover real, positive change to get that little extra happiness, well-being, and sense of accomplishment in life is all that matters.

I carried my love of fitness, wellness, and helping people that spans over 40 years. From working with Paralympians, world-class entertainers, and everyday people, my team and I have brought years of experience and commitment to helping clients make a difference in their life; after working with physically challenged individuals while at the University of BC, I started Curtis Personalized Health Management Ltd, a fitness, wellness, and lifestyle consulting company for individuals and corporations. As one of the pioneers of Personal Training and running a successful company, I felt they could help even more people through a positive lifestyle and healthy habits change coaching as a complement to the physical side of a balanced lifestyle.

12 Weeks to Wellness evolved into telephonic coaching and online wellness resources and services. To this day, the drive for customer happiness and success has been no. 1 and never wavered. Even with over 15,000 customers through the 12 Weeks coaching experience, the love of working with people to help them discover real, positive change to get that little extra happiness, well-being, and sense of accomplishment in life is the ultimate gift.
