Brenda, the owner of Summit Coaching and Training, is a first generation Canadian whose life has been a bit different. In 1988, when Brenda was seven years old, her parents took a risk and moved from Vancouver, BC to the remote wilderness community of Tatlayoko Lake, BC. In this beautiful and mountainous place, Brenda grew up with her brother, learning about wilderness survival; growing, raising, and hunting for food; how to navigate through the mountains with just a topographic map, how to read the seasonal movements of wildlife, dedication to a vision and pursuing a dream, a strong work ethic, and the value of community and connectedness despite great distances. This setting and these circumstances gave Brenda a strong connection to nature, an open mind, and an adventurous heart. It also helped her develop a strong body and mind.
