ABOUT

Meet the Heart Behind Well Now Fitness

I’m Susan—and I created Well Now Fitness for women who are navigating the changing seasons of life and want wellness to feel supportive, not stressful.

With a background in education, martial arts, and fitness coaching, I bring both structure and compassion into every space I lead. More than anything, I believe wellness works best when it honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Here, movement is about more than getting stronger. It’s about creating rhythms that support real life, rooted in faith, guided by wisdom, and shaped with grace.

Hi, I’m Susan.

From the time I was a little girl climbing trees and skipping stones, I loved to move. Movement was freedom with joy, play, and wonder all in one. In high school, sports helped me discover confidence. I wasn’t the best athlete, but I loved showing up, learning, and giving my best.

As I grew older, I trained in martial arts, eventually earning my black belt and becoming an instructor. I gained discipline and strength, but as spiritual philosophies within the practice began to deepen, I became increasingly aware of something important: we are whole beings.

Every dimension of who we are; physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual, is deeply connected. Growth or struggle in one area affects the others. I realized my physical training needed to honor and align with my Christian faith. Wellness couldn’t live in separate compartments of life. It had to be fully integrated.

That conviction is what led to the birth of Well Now Fitness.

After retiring from teaching in 2020, I became certified as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, Senior Exercise Specialist, and Revelation Wellness facilitator. Today, I primarily serve women 40+ and older adults who want to feel stronger, steadier, and more confident as they age.

Some of the women I serve once felt intimidated by exercise. They weren’t sure where to begin. But as they’ve embraced steady, functional movement and whole-person care, I’ve watched their strength and confidence grow. I never tire of witnessing that kind of development — women becoming stronger, more capable, and more assured in their bodies over time. It fuels my purpose and brings me deep joy.

Take a breath. You’re not alone.

When the time feels right, I’d love to connect.

xo, Susan

Our Heart in Action

Wellness at Well Now Fitness goes beyond movement.

A portion of every program supports Teen Challenge Canada’s Atlantic Hope Women’s Center, helping women rebuild their lives with hope and dignity.

Through our participation in the Annual Freedom Run, our community has raised over $6,000 to stand with women on their journey toward recovery.

Because every woman deserves the chance to thrive—body, mind, and spirit.

Who I Serve Best

The women who tend to feel most at home here are those who want wellness to feel supportive, meaningful, and sustainable. They’re not looking for quick fixes or perfection — they’re open to steady growth, gentle consistency, and caring for their whole selves in a way that aligns with their values and season of life.
