The Stories of Others:
Story of Ed - 83 year old with congestive heart failure.
I have no hesitation in recommending Pulse Cardiac Health for a recovering heart patient, especially for people who either don’t have convenient access to a heart recovery program at a gym or community centre or just choose to do their recovery at home.
I had congestive heart failure and an aortic valve replacement in June 2021. The next six months was spent trying to learn how to live again, that is to walk to the corner and back and taking the Heart to Heart course on line from RJH.
The nurse at the H to H clinic mentioned Pulse Cardiac Health as an alternative to recovering in a gym so I signed up for Shawna’s recovery program in January.
The next three months were spent following Shawna’s exercise regimen. She took a personal interest in my recovery and was always available for a consultation.
The next three months were on maintenance, again, Shawna designed my program to build on what we had accomplished in the recovery phase.
In July, 2022, I had an echocardiogram, stress test and a visit with the cardiologist. Did 12 minutes on the treadmill on the Bruce Protocol. Not bad for 83 years old!
Thank you Shawna and Cam.

Story of Renee - 55 year old wanting weight management support.
Like many others, I put a few extra pounds on during COVID, and having lived with heart disease for most of my adult life, I knew I wanted to lose it.
I'm already very active, but needed help focusing my efforts on shedding the unwanted extra weight.
I was referred to Pulse Cardiac Health by a close friend and I'm so grateful she recommended them!
Shawna honed right in on areas that I could improve upon to help me burn those extra calories. I'd gotten myself into a "comfortable" exercise routine, but shaking it up made all the difference.
I didn't have to work out harder, just smarter! Who knew:)
A new exercise routine, combined with a few tweaks to my diet, and I'm proud to say, I'm back to my pre-COVID weight.
Thank you Shawna for introducing me to new activities you knew I'd enjoy, and enabling me to continue living my best life.

Story of Gregg - 74 Year old athlete wanting to get back in action after bypass surgery.
I have had a lifetime of 4 season sports , fitness & healthy nutrition....and then out of the blue, triple bypass open heart surgery.
I know training regimes and rehab from experience. But your heart, this is a quantum leap. Rehab options for me were numerous but my wise choice was Shawna at Pulse Cardiac Health.
Uncertainty vanishes. Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? Is that pain to be avoided? Shawna will, with empathy, understanding and experience be your guide.
Rehab done right...there is much to be gained!
