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.

Being active has always been part of my life. Playing sport, dancing and exploring the mountains in the Pyrenees back there in France or here in Alberta. Tell me backpack & outdoor and I’m in. That’s how the genius idea of my ‘Commando bootcamp’ came. Or maybe that I joined the army for a commando training back in 2008 and it was THE coolest/adrenal experience. My biggest take away: “Never leave anyone behind” And that’a how I knew I wanted to make a difference for the better in people’s life.

To be Honest I first thought my calling was to become a teacher, after 2 years at the university of Caen (France) I knew I was meant to teach and empower people with knowledge but not seating in a classroom. And that’s how I knew I had to combine my passion for teaching and being active.


My journey as a personal trainer started back in France after graduating from the CREPS of Dijon in 2013. I have been fortunate to coach clients for years to help them reach their goals with both nutrition and fitness. Then when we did our big move in Canada with my Husband and ‘The Fitness Ann’Venture’ began. With few at home coaching and fitness classes in the back of a supplements store “BondNutrition” I also got certified as a boxing-kickboxing trainer for ’30 minute hit’ and had the privilege to work for local gym specialized in one on one training.


It’s not until COVID hit that I realized a piece was missing. I was focusing on the ‘FIT’ part with myself and my clients, but neglected the ‘HEALTH’ part. Yes being Fit doesn’t equal being Healthy.

And I talk from experience. I married my partner in crime 12 year ago. I will save the story of the Peruvian gentleman and the French au’pair who met in school back in New-York for later ;) We are now rooted in Red Deer Alberta, with our big white fluffy doggo Osita, the mascot of The Holistic Ann’Venture. But sadly we have been battling with infertility & losses for the last 8 years. I was fit but my body was sending me so many signals that something was missing and when everything slow down with the lockdowns I finally took the time to listen, and that’s when my own holistic healing journey began. 

Going from student to mentor, the summer of 2021 ’The Fitness Ann’venture’ got upgraded to THE HOLISTIC Ann’Venture with the 3 pillars: Fitness, Nutrition and Wellness.
