Karena Halman
Growing up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, I enjoyed participating in many different activities, which brought on injuries and a fascination with the function and dysfunction of the body. I have been working as a certified Massage Therapist for over 17 years and the search of more balance in my life lead me into fitness. I worked to change my lifestyle and about 8 years ago became a certified Personal Trainer. The body is a mystery and I love the challenge it brings me, no matter how I am working with it, massage, exercise or nutrition. I continue to strive for balance and a healthy lifestyle and hope that my passion can help others with their wellness journey.

After working in the corporate world for over 15 years, she decided to pursue her true passion of helping others enjoy the many benefits of physical fitness.
