Mat is where it started. Props and reformer were add - ons to what Joseph Pilates intended. Props and reformer have a different conversation with the body… all are good…however mat is where it started.

Introducing Grace and Bravus Fitness…

WHY BRAVUS?
We fit your life.
When we started our first personal training business back in 2012, we called it, “The Fit Life 24/7.” As it turns out, that’s quite the mouthfull! But the spirit of that name still lives on today.

To us, fitness isn’t about quick fixes or fad diets. Fitness should be about creating lasting change. It’s more about living a fit life, and less about having a fit workout. We want to help our clients make small lifestyle changes, day after day, that soon add up to a big difference. Fitness isn’t an act, it’s a habit.

The word Bravus is Latin for Brave. And bravery is exactly what it takes to commit to this process of changing your life. Change can be scary. Change can be uncomfortable, or even painful. But change is also the way to greater things.

Bravus was created so that we can guide more people through the brave process of change. Our passion is to see our clients progress in their journeys. Through Bravus, we’ll be able to reach more people, and change more lives for better health and fitness.

We are delighted to welcome you to Bravus. Let’s take this brave step forward together and reap the rewards change will bring.

There is waaaay to much knowledge packed into this dynamite of a lady for me to do it justice. I can personally tell you that she is the real deal if you want real change for yourself. Meeting you where you are at speaks my language as I do the same with my clients.
Look no further for your fitness/ nutrition goals!

Introducing Dori….

From a very young age, I’ve been mesmerized by the greatness of all things.

In the vast landscapes at my then-home in Northern BC, I became aware of my connection to something much bigger than myself and the divine guidance it offered.

None of this has changed. I live in constant amazement with life, death, and all the in-between and beyond, with a higher consciousness whispering and guiding me.

I am a seeker living a heart-centered life. She/ Her, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandma (aka “Lola”), friend, loyal servant to a few (past & present) Golden Retrievers & …the Divine.

I love the water, music, trees, animals & wide-open spaces. I love to laugh & learn & travel.

I am highly intuitive and can’t quite explain how. I dance to the rhythm of an ancient drum.

I’m an introvert disguised as an extrovert. I am awkward and clumsy when I’m not in my movement flow. I am a book geek, seeker, artist, actor, writer, dancer, hopeful mystic, and straight shooter.

My career—the short version: I spent my 20s as a performing artist, my 30s-40s in Health Club Management /Consulting, and the past 20+ years as a Business Owner /Operator in Mind-Body Well-being education, Consulting, and now, Coaching & Mentoring.

To know her is to love her. Can’t explain her…you just have to meet and listen to her and you will see she is exactly what you need😊❤️
