Hi, I’m Gillian!

With over 25 years in the Health and Fitness Industry and a successful business, I went back to school in 2021 determined to help people find more peace and joy in their bodies (and in their life). Inspired by my work with clients, I pursued a Masters in Counselling Psychology and am now a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC in BC, Canada). My dual registration as a Clinical Counsellor and Personal Trainer affords me a unique perspective, and skill-set to support my clients.

This Substack is a reflection of my love of writing (I’m also a published author), and my deep desire to share some of the insights and tools I’ve gained through my own personal and professional learnings and experience.

Here you’ll find content on:

• Taking a Health at Every Size (HAES®) approach to movement + nutrition practices (HAES® advocates the dignity and respect for all bodies and a health-first approach).

• Intuitive Eating (as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor I help folks working to heal their relationship with food and their body)

• Body Image (this is an area of specialty in my practice)

• Resilience and Stress Management (hello, nervous system NERD!)

• Embodiment (there is so much wisdom in our bodies when we tune in)

I work with clients as a counsellor and coach. What’s the difference? Here’s how I describe it.

As a Clinical Counsellor I support folks in person in my hometown of Nanaimo, and virtually with clients throughout BC. As a Health Coach, I work with folks all over the world in my virtual one-to-one practice, as well as through self-paced coursework and content on my virtual Super You Studio Platform and App (my most popular courses include my Super You Mindset Course and MOVE Fitness + Yoga Library).
