Ciara Foy empowers driven, high-achieving women to take impeccable care of themselves so they can maintain the energy, motivation and passion it takes to go after their dreams while curating each day and therefore the life, they choose. 

On her own health journey, Ciara faced and overcame weight gain, burnout, depression, and a self-destructive mindset. She now uses those experiences to help women create room for self-care and get back on track to become their happiest, healthiest selves.

When Ciara is not working out of her private practice in downtown Toronto—or spending time with her two daughters—she provides online consultations to women all over the world, from Bay Street to Wall Street, Lebanon to Australia and beyond. 

Ciara has been featured in ELLE, FLARE, ET Canada, CTV, Best Health Magazine, Canadian Living, Breakfast Television and Body Rock TV.
