Episode 9: What’s Right in Business? - With Kelly Montford

We have a super special guest! A certified fitness instructor, personal trainer and yoga instructor. 

The amazing Kelly Montford is also a daughter, sister and most importantly a mother, to three humans and two four-leggers.  

She was never athletic in her school years and was always more interested in curling up in the corner with a book or being outside. 

About 18 yrs ago, one of her children began developing health issues and Kelly needed an outlet.  She began running and lifting weights and noticed how my coping capacity increased.  As their lives returned to some sort of normalcy, she continued on with her fitness activities.  She had more clarity, more energy.  Her clothes fit better and she was happy.  She knew this couldn’t just be her, this had to be something that could help others.  

At the same time all of this was happening, She knew she needed a career change. 

Working at a desk inside was becoming less desirable and fulfilling.   

She made the leap, in her mid-thirties, and went back to post-secondary education -  earned her personal training certificate. From there, she has earned her 200-hour yoga training, then her 300 hour as well as group fitness and TRX training.

She was invited shortly thereafter to work with children in her local school district who, for whatever reason, weren’t able to partake in the mainstream physical education program. 

Now, alongside working with all ages and abilities on multiple levels, she has recently become part owner/operator of Strathmore’s Transcend Yoga & Wellness.
