When my husband and I first got engaged he asked me what kind of wedding I wanted. “I don’t want a wedding” I said, “Just give me a really, really great honeymoon”, and that’s exactly what he did. We had a two week breath-taking honeymoon where no expense was spared and where we pretty much dropped enough cash to pay for a wedding.
The main reason why we didn’t have a wedding was because with me being from Canada but living in Korea and my husband being from Korea, it made it pretty much impossible to have a wedding with all those we’d want present in attendance, let alone pick which country – Canada or Korea – to have it in. So we decided on no wedding and though I was never a girl to dream about her wedding day I must admit it hurt when I sat at my daycare and was asked by the 21 mini-Koreans I adore about my wedding. They wanted me to bring in wedding day photos and tell me all about it. I had nothing to tell though. I got married at city hall.
That’s when something amazing happened, the power of 21 little children saved the day and, totally unknown to me that they were scheming such a plan, they gave me a wedding.

Be ready to be surprised.

As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
