Welcome to Get Fit Fiona. I’m Heather, and I live in Calgary, Canada.

I have a background as a CSEP personal trainer and a RYT 200 yoga teacher, having graduated from the Personal Training program at Mount Royal University and a yoga teacher program at Passage Studios. While I have the credentials and the education, my most valuable qualification came from my own lived experience, and the process of unlearning everything I thought I knew about health.

My Journey: From Rules to Freedom

For a long time, I was fully immersed in diet culture. I thought being “healthy” meant following strict rules, tracking every bite, and pushing my body to its limits. I chased a specific body size thinking it would bring me happiness. Instead, it led me down a difficult path with an eating disorder.

I eventually realized that the life I was living wasn’t healthy at all. It was controlled, rigid, and exhausting. I had to do the hard work of unlearning those “wellness” rules and finding a way to truly take care of myself.

These days, my definition of health has completely shifted. I no longer view movement as a way to “earn” food or punish my body. Instead, I move because it helps me manage stress, feel strong, and be present. I’ve traded the calorie counting for intuitive eating and the strict regimes for a life of balance and joy.

I’m not perfect, and I’m still navigating this journey myself, but I am passionate about sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
