    She’s been part of CrossFit since 2017, but her athletic background runs far deeper — ultramarathons, triathlons, trail running, mountain adventures, and multi-day stage races like TransRockies. Her biggest accomplishments include conquering Lost Souls 50km, 100km, and the legendary Death Race 125km. Brittney thrives on challenge — physically, mentally, and spiritually. If there’s suffering involved, she’s probably signed up for it.

    As a cancer survivor at 22 and survivor of a life-altering spinal fracture in 2022 where she came within 1cm of severing her spinal cord, Brittney has battled through trauma, surgeries, and setbacks most people can’t imagine. But instead of slowing down, she used it as fuel — proof that resilience isn’t about avoiding pain, but facing it head-on.

    Her motivation? Her kids. As a mom of four, Brittney lives to be the example that strength isn’t about perfection — it’s about perseverance. Whether she’s coaching a mom through labour as a doula, cheering on an athlete mid-WOD, or pushing herself to the brink in training, Brittney leads with the same message: you’re stronger than you think you are.

    And yes — if it comes in leopard print, she probably owns it.

    Turning Point

    After surviving cancer at 22 and a near life-altering ski accident years later, Brittney realized her true purpose: to inspire others through her own story of resilience. Those experiences taught her that pain can become power — and that the body, mind, and spirit are capable of far more than we give them credit for.

    Motivation & Passion

    Brittney’s passion is helping others discover their own strength — whether that’s an athlete finishing a workout they didn’t think they could, or a mom finding power in her birth experience. She thrives on doing hard things and leading others to believe they can too. Her “why” will always be her family — proving to her kids (and everyone around her) that even through the hardest battles, joy and purpose can rise from the struggle.
