"Step into who you truly are and live the life you’ve imagined! Become the best version of you because you deserve to feel amazing!"
Hello My Friends! I'm Gineen Nicholls, MBFI Certified Women's Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner and Personal Trainer,
I've Been Involved In The Health & Wellness Industry For Over 25 Years and I'm On A Mission To Help Other Women Find The Best Versions Of Themselves!
And This Is My Story!
I grew up in a very small town located in the eastern part of Prince Edward Island!
I wasn't always athletic, but developed a deep passion for aerobics and strength training in my teenage years.
I taught my first step aerobics class when I was just 16 years old!
I moved to Vancouver, BC in the early 2000's for 6 years and received my first certification as a Personal Trainer Specialist in 2003. I worked as the Wellness Director, a Group Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer at a gym called Fitness World for several years.
I then moved back home to PEI and continued my passion for the fitness industry, working as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor at various gyms in Charlottetown, PEI.
In 2007, my husband and I had the opportunity to join in ownership of a Sports Supplement store front, which later grew to be a Powerlifting training facility, along with my own small group training studio! It was an absolute dream come true!!
Then in 2012, my husband had a near death stock car racing accident and life changed dramatically. Attempting to be an entrepreneur while caring for my husband during his recovery, really took a toll on my health.
A year after his accident, I ended up hitting a giant brick wall of burnout and I had to make the heart breaking decision to leave my business for my health. I was exhausted all the time, had gained 40lbs in 5 months, my digestive system was a mess and I was experiencing menopausal symptoms, among many other bizarre physical symptoms that I'd never known before!
I felt like a complete stranger in my own body and nothing I tried was working!
I spent the next 6 years going from doctor to doctor and trying all kinds of treatments and therapies. Even specialists could give me any answers. It was extremely frustrating, to say the least!
I finally found an amazing naturopathic doctor and dove into doing a ton of research on my own on hormones, gut healing, chronic stress and the endocrine system!
I finally got my body to a space of healing and it changed the way I view wellness. I had to change a lot of the beliefs I had in relation to nutrition and exercise. I used to train women from the physical perspective, but now I know that there's SO much more involved, especially when we're dealing with hormones!
I had left the fitness industry for 7 years and went back to school to become a Rehabilitation Assistant and then worked in Health Care, predominantly in Community Stroke Services.
My husband and I moved from PEI to his home in Fredericton, NB and I realized I had a new calling. I started talking to women who were experiencing the same symptoms that I had and they would say to me, "You're telling my story". So I jumped into the world of online health & wellness coaching to help as many women as I can!
I completed my certification as a Women's Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner with the Mind/Body/Food Institute in Australia in 2023 and I'm committed to continue learning to help others!
Remember that if I can do it, then you can too! It may take time, but you can get there! It does take work, but I wouldn't trade anything for the way I feel today!
