Hi, I’m Janelle! Like many, I have the classic Yukon tale… I moved up north for an adventure and never looked back. My roots are Personal Training and lifestyle coaching and I pride myself on practicing what I preach, creating balance. My vision is to help my clients reach their full potential through movement of the body and to discover how capable they really are. I believe that movement clears the mind and allows us to break through limiting beliefs to live happier, more fulfilled lives. My philosophy is functional fitness; to me this means prescribing fun, real-life, and balanced movements to enrich quality of life.

Born in Montreal and raised partly in England, Pete returned to Canada after high school and attended the University of Toronto while pursuing his passion for competitive cycling. He trained with the goal of qualifying for the 1988 Seoul Olympics, but a back injury forced him to miss the trials.

With more than $10,000 in racing and travel debt, Pete took a chance on an advertisement inviting people to “Come see the Rockies! Come work at Jasper Park Lodge!” That decision changed the course of his life.

Pete spent several years in Jasper and Whistler working in hospitality, eventually becoming Executive Chief Steward at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.

His passion for athletics never faded. Pete continued cycling extensively throughout the Rockies, including the Jasper-to-Lake Louise ride, and completed the Golden Triangle three times.

His own experience with a significant back injury and his lifelong interest in health, movement, and fitness eventually led him toward a career in massage therapy. After working in I.T. for 10 years, Pete returned to his athletic roots and attended the Massage Therapy program at Mount Royal University.

Today, Pete has performed thousands of massage therapy treatments and brings a clinical, individualized approach to his work. He takes the time to listen carefully to each client, understand their goals and concerns, and identify the areas that may be contributing to their symptoms. He is particularly experienced in working with shoulder injuries and musculoskeletal concerns, using therapeutic massage techniques to address pain, tension, mobility restrictions, and movement-related issues.

Pete believes that effective massage therapy should have a purpose beyond simply feeling good in the moment. His treatments are tailored to each person’s needs, whether the goal is recovering from an injury, managing persistent tension or pain, improving mobility, supporting athletic performance and recovery, or simply helping the body move and function more comfortably.

Committed to continual learning, Pete regularly studies massage therapy, physiotherapy, movement, and related health topics. He brings his own background as an athlete and his experience with injury into his clinical practice, with the goal of providing every client with thoughtful, purposeful, and personalized care.

Having lived in Jasper, Pete is excited to explore the Yukon, learn more about its beauty and history, and become part of the community.

My journey to becoming a personal trainer began with my own passion for health and fitness. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed strength training and endurance sports including triathlons, marathons, bike races and even hiking the beautiful Chilkoot trail in one day. Through all of this, I’ve been amazed by the human body’s ability to adapt and transform in response to training stimuli- regardless of age.

This passion led me to complete my CanFitPro Personal Training Specialist certificate earlier this year (2025). My approach to training is positive and balanced – incorporating strength training, injury prevention and mobility work.

Whether you’re new to fitness or looking to push your limits, my goal is to help you feel stronger, confident and capable – not just in the gym, but in your everyday life.

Tara moved up to the Yukon after an epic 2 month summer vacation (which was supposed to only be two weeks), making the trip from Ottawa to Whitehorse in July 2016. Since moving up North Tara has discovered a love for the outdoors, and spends her free time hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and skiing in the winters. You’ll often find her trusty best buddy - Paisley - alongside her, whether they are out adventuring or taking care of clients at the studio.

In November 2018, Tara opened Evergreen Wellness Studio. She needed a cohesive space to run both sides of her business, fitness and massage, and renovated a mechanics “shed” to suit all of her needs. Within this space you can find a multidisciplinary team of like-minded health professionals working together to create a network of support.

Tara is a graduate from Algonquin College’s Fitness & Health Promotions program, as well as their Massage Therapy Intensive program, giving her a double skill set as both a Personal Trainer and a Massage Therapist. Having both modalities allows her to combine manual therapy and specific exercise to help her clients become the most functional version of themselves.

In March 2024 Tara completed her Level 2 Applied Manual Lymphatic Drainage course through Vodder International. Her skills have expanded to help address health concerns such as sinusitis, whiplash, migraines, epicondylitis, adhesive capsulitis, pre- and post-surgical cases, burns, bruising, trauma-induced swelling (such as a sprained ankle), and various other inflammation-heavy conditions. Unfortunately Tara is not currently qualified to provide lymphedema care, or work on clients with an impaired lymphatic system (ie: node removal).
