About Anne

Hi, I'm Anne.

Certified Holistic Coach: Fitness, Nutrition, Wellness

I was born and raised in France, I grew up in a catholic military family with my 8 siblings where God, Health and Family became the fundation/pillar of my empire. I live now in Red Deer, Alberta, with my husband Jorge, that has been my partner in crime since 2010, but I will save the love story of the Peruvian gentleman and the French au-pair who met and fell in love in New-York for later ;).

Who Doesn’t Love a Good Adventurous Side?

Adventure has always been part of my DNA. From dancing and team sports to hiking the Pyrenees or exploring the Rockies here in Alberta, give me a backpack and an open trail, and I’m in. That passion inspired my first “Commando Bootcamp,” a nod to the elite army training I experienced back in 2008. My biggest takeaway from that season? Never leave anyone behind. That became my life motto and the heartbeat of my work.

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, I just didn’t know what form that would take. So at first, I thought my calling was to become a schoolteacher. After two years at the University of Caen, I realized I was meant to teach and empower people with knowledge, just not from behind a classroom desk. I wanted to combine my love for teaching with my passion for movement. That led me to pursue my diploma at the CREPS of Dijon, where I graduated as a certified personal trainer in 2013. I spent several years coaching clients in France, helping them reach their goals through fitness and nutrition. When my husband and I made our big move to Canada in 2017 The Fitness Ann’Venture was born. It started small, a few at-home sessions and bootcamps in the back of a supplement shop called BondNutrition. I later became a certified boxing/kickboxing trainer with "30 Minute Hit" and worked with a local gym specializing in one-on-one training. Then when COVID hit in 2020, and everything paused long enough for me to notice what was missing. I had been focusing on the fit part, for myself and my clients but I had neglected the deeper meaning of health. That realization was the seed for what is now The Holistic Ann’Venture, built in the summer of 2021, on three core pillars: Fitness, Nutrition, and Wellness.

How I Became a Coach

Restoring my metabolism and hormones gave me the gift of motherhood. 

Life took me and my husband on an unexpected detour: for over a decade we battled infertility and heartbreaking losses. Sure, I was “fit,” but my body was clearly signaling that something deeper was off. So when the world slowed down during lockdowns, I finally paused to listen to my body. I began a holistic healing journey, nourishing my metabolism, regulating my hormones, supporting my nervous system, and letting faith guide every step. That work not only restored my health, it gave us the greatest blessing: our beautiful son Joseph born in 2024.

My Fertility and Healing Journey

What began as my personal journey has now become my mission. Going from student to mentor, I now teach how health isn’t just about how hard we train or how clean we eat, it’s about hormones, metabolism, nervous-system balance, and the ability to sustain vitality for the long run.

Today, four years in, my mission is clear: to help you create resilient metabolism, balanced hormones, and lasting vitality so you can thrive at every stage of life, not through quick fixes, but through simple, life-giving habits rooted in faith and balance.

Just Like You, I’m Many Things:

  • Avid reader, podcast lover, and kitchen dancer to the best 80’s tunes

  • Believer in grounding, sunrise watching, belly laughs, and quiet moments with God

  • Perfectly imperfect, and deeply loved in God’s eyes

  • Guided by honesty, respect, and integration

  • At home on dusty backroads, mountain trails, or lazy days on the river

  • Equally happy hosting a lively dinner party or staying in jammies with a messy bun

  • Fascinated by quantum physics, neuroscience, nutrition, energy medicine, and all the “woo” that keeps life fun
