May we see, support, and celebrate one another exactly as we are today, perfectly imperfect.
Keep your eye on the big stuff … but do the little stuff. Having goals is important … but we often take the wrong approach. Are we too ambitious or too apprehensive? Setting a North Star is your beacon and offers you focused, universal direction on your journey (life). It will allow you to tackle manageable and rewarding challenges, practices, and tasks along the way. But, you have to know where you’re going. Every goal, whether short or long-term, needs to have foundation and you need to be present, curious, open-minded, flexible, and willing to do the work.
Barefoot (or Minimalist) Sandals, are mankind’s oldest footwear, with examples found that are about 10,000 years old. They’re also the simplest — something to protect your soles, plus some way to hold that protection onto your foot. Xero's minimalist sandals let your feet bend, flex, and move as if you were in bare feet, plus give you a layer of protection, and are lightweight. This is not a sponsored post … we bought these shoes from @cooleastmarket in Toronto and just love them!
A wild lunch.

Advising & Speaking

Public Speaking

We are self-declared Unconventional Idealists passionate about making healthy futures possible for everyone.

We engage. We teach. We inspire. We ignite entrepreneurs, individuals, teams, and organizations virtually and in-person (hopefully again soon). We don’t give “speeches” … we provide experiences that offer insight, motivation, and entertainment. We show up in service to guide and support purpose-driven and open-minded people to navigate life “well”.

Regardless of how “well” you or your team lives today, you will all be discovering your Wellness Intelligence with purpose and motivation tomorrow.

Active Advising

Our advising builds successful, healthy, and sustainable businesses, spaces, and culture. We believe in creating and designing environments and protocols that inspire everyone to champion their own wellness. Our radically different approach is fuelled by our combined, experience-based wisdom, evidence-based concepts, and common-sense methods. We encourage you to read about the “active advising” we offer, or connect with us directly to explore working or collaborating with us.

Wellness Expert Training

Whether you’re an educator, personal trainer, group fitness leader, coach, or wellness professional, we can provide you with evidence-based techniques to enhance or upstart your individualized career. We each have proven track-records (learn more about David and Lisa’s individual experience), but together we provide unparalleled solutions based on decades of experience in industry, wellness, and life. We take a holistic approach to each client, as their strengths, budgets, personalities, and goals are all taken into consideration. We look forward to challenging your thinking, starting dialogue that will result in your success, and helping you to achieve your professional goals.

FACILITY CONSULTING AND Program design

We take great pride in providing expert guidance in the start-up, improvement, growth, or renewal of fitness and wellness operations. The scope of our work is all-encompassing and includes, but is not limited to feasibility studies, facility design, safety, and optimization, program development, equipment sourcing, staffing and trainings, creating culture, all ensuring a return on investment. We take the time to understand your business in order to maximize immediate value and long-term benefits for your organization.

Build an sucessful, safe, and functional facility or “wellness department”.

IN-HOME WELLNESS SPACE DESIGN

Create space! We can design a “workout zone” anywhere in your home … dedicated or multi-purpose spaces. In an day and age where we need to take wellness into our own homes, our intelligent home wellness space design principles will ensure a healthy environment for you to take care of yourself “well”. From textiles and equipment to program design, we can support your in-home fitness and wellness practices.

Discover your Wellness Intelligence at home.

UNCATEGORIZED

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry, we’re used to that.

Not every project falls into a category, and we don’t appreciate or like labels anyway. What we work on will always be a result of customizing and catering to your specific needs, wants, desires, and budget. We will provide you with sound advice, perspective, stories (of failures and successes), and practical wisdom in order to realize optimum success with wellness teachings, programs, and spaces.
