Wife to David Barker and homeschooling mom of five young humans, I’ve got to keep learning, growing and changing so that my children are inspired to become life-long learners.

Sports and fitness have always been a part of my life. Having grown up with 5 brothers and 5 sisters, we were always challenging each other in volleyball, basketball and hockey. Competitive is a word we’re quite familiar with!

I joined ESC in 2019, first as a three-days-a-week member, but quickly switched to full-time because it seemed that I was always missing the best workouts. The constantly varied, high intensity programming is always driving me to improve. The rower and Cleans are two of my favorite exercises. I’m chasing virtuosity: ‘doing the common uncommonly well’ inside the gym and in daily life. I took the CFL1 training in 2022 and value the opportunity it has provided me to improve myself while at the same time doing what I love most: encouraging others in becoming better humans.

Health is so much more than fitness and nutrition. Health starts in how one thinks. How we view ourselves, others and the world in general. A favorite quote of mine is: “We see things not as they are, but as we are.”
