Who are we ?

Passions: Work, training and nutrition, travel, building projects ...

 

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to move and make things happen. I am a person of action, a passionate individual who fully commits to all my projects. Throughout my life, I have practiced sports. I played elite-level baseball, amateur boxing, and physical training. After a break of several years, I got back into training. Since I do nothing halfway, it became my lifestyle. Supervised training with a "fitness" style coach 5 times a week, along with the appropriate diet! I am very interested in what is necessary to keep my body healthy and thus avoid as much as possible what is harmful.

Professionally, after ten years in management and direction of large retail stores, I redirected my career in 1999 to become a financial security advisor and representative in collective savings. From 2006 to 2021, I was the manager of three of the largest financial service centers in Greater Montreal and the South Shore of Montreal for a company that is a leader in insurance and financial services in Quebec and Canada. After a few years as the senior consultant for Quebec and senior Canadian business consultant for financial advisors for a A leader in insurance and financial services worldwide, I resumed my role as a manager as the district director of financial centers Montreal South Shore for the same company.

Since 2021, I have also been leveraging my experience as a volunteer mentor for the Quebec Mentorship Network to mentor managers and business owners who request it.

In order to give back to society, I am involved in various foundations and social causes by serving on boards of directors or as an ambassador and donor.

My circle considers me a builder. One of my strengths is taking a project and leading it to where it should be.

I take great pleasure in being involved in this family business project. In fact, I invest most of my free time working with my wonderful partner and our valuable collaborators and partners to offer the best to our customers.

Passions: Cooking, work, travel, life ...

 

I see myself as a little girl, in the family garden savoring what was fresh and tasty, or cooking alongside my mother, who was quite the cook! She was my source of inspiration. She was a nurse and loved helping her patients. She also always dreamed of starting her own business, her chocolate shop/catering service. Unfortunately, illness had other plans for her.

For my part, I have always known that I wanted to help. I first completed my bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Montreal, and I worked for 10 years as a director in telecommunications. After the birth of my children, I made a career change. In 2009, I went back to school to obtain my license as a financial security advisor, which I still hold today.

It was my health that was deteriorating. What had initially been just warning signs was intensifying. I was in so much pain that I no longer had any quality of life. After investigations, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. That’s when I had to adopt a low FODMAP diet and cut out gluten, dairy products, etc. I drastically changed my diet. Not so simple, it was quite a challenge! I went through a lot of trial and error and, frankly, it was very expensive. 

I therefore decided to turn these challenges into a new career project. So, my partner and I set up our health store FitFitFit.Fit. Additionally, to perfect my knowledge, I recently started studying naturopathy.

I truly want to help people who suffer from allergies or food intolerances and who, unfortunately, do not have the budget or the knowledge to make the necessary changes for their health. 

I also want to be a reference point for those who want to eat well, offering them delicious, healthy, and nourishing products all in one place.
