Hi, I’m Daphne Torr.
A Registered Practical Nurse and ISSA Elite Trainer with certifications in Personal Training, Nutrition Coaching , and Strength and Conditioning programming. I am a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran and soon to be mom.
I developed a love and passion for fitness in 2010 and have dabbled in everything from, spin class junkie to running(1/2 marathon), mud runs, cross fit, power lifting and a few other styles of working out in-between.
People that don't know me and see me in person assume I've always been slim or fit but that wasn't always the case. I have always been an active person but only became serious about the nutrition aspect in 2013 when I hit rock bottom, was almost 200 lbs had no self esteem or confidence. As the scale continuously started to slowly creep up I continued to workout more, or harder... until I finally realized how important the eating aspect of living a healthy lifestyle was. I was the only one who could take control of what I was shoveling into my mouth.
They say it takes 3 weeks to make or break a habit...so I packed my bags and went on a solo trip to a little island off Mexico called Cozumel...and my lifestyle changes began.
While there I downloaded a running app, found a few healthy restaurants and ate as clean as I could.
I was seeing results and starting to feel better physically and mentally. I returned home and kept at it. I started to learn about the effects of food on the body, and being a bit of a nerd with numbers fully dove into the world of macros.
Fast forward to today and I have completed a few dozen Obstacle course races, competed in a power lifting competition(Feb) 2020, and most recently won a Vegan fitness and nutrition competition(Dec 2020).
I have moved around my whole life and am currently settled in the Ottawa Region. I started to help friends and fellow nurses coming to work out with me and eventually started making them meal plans.
I realized how much I enjoyed helping them and seeing them achieve results so I took my certification courses, gained more insight and am ready share my knowledge with the world.
