Background & Approach
Janet brings something most coaches cannot offer: she has actually been there. Her soccer career spanned NCAA Division 1 at both Syracuse University (2001-02) and Florida International University (2002-05), followed by 11 years in the W-League. She also competed professionally in the Belgian League and the Championship League in England. She was not just a participant; she was a professional competing at the top levels of the sport for over a decade.
When her playing career ended, Janet pursued formal credentials in coaching and nutrition to give her clients the same depth of expertise. She earned her Certified Nutritional Practitioner designation from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, her Personal Training Specialist certification through CanFitPro, and both her Pre/Post Natal Training and Certified Pregnancy Nutrition and Health certifications. That combination, athletic intelligence combined with clinical nutrition education, is what separates her programs from generic plans.
Janet's approach centres on teaching and motivating clients to understand their own bodies rather than following instructions blindly. She builds individualized nutrition and training plans, then adjusts them as life changes. Clients consistently describe her as flexible, invested, and genuinely present throughout the coaching relationship, not just at the start. She has worked with athletes, parents, and everyone in between across 10+ years of coaching.
Janet offers online personal training and nutrition coaching across Canada through Kenaz Training, and also works with youth athletes looking to develop their sport performance foundation.
