At the point I had over 15 years experience in women’s health so I set out to create a well rounded program that supported the participants' mental and physical health. I took my CBWS training so I could incorporate better Babywearing practices in 2019. As I was doing market research to create my info pack to try to recruit a pelvic floor physio, I came across Kangatraining. It was exactly what I was hoping to create. I reached out to the founder to seek opportunities to bring this workout to North America and after many phone calls, zooms and a trip to Europe, I took on the role of Countryleader for Canada and the USA.

Your success, your community's well-being, and opportunities to support each other whole is my passion and I can’t wait to meet you.” - Ponnie Matin
