Dr. Suzanne Rutherford & Jake Wright

Dr. Suzanne Rutherford is a practicing physician in family, hospitalist and palliative medicine. She has a special interest in lifestyle and weight loss coaching that started during her undergraduate years when she majored in human biology and nutritional sciences. Suzanne is also a wife and mother to two children (age 13 and 16.) She understands firsthand, how easy it is to lose yourself in the chaos of life. After two pregnancies and a busy post-graduate residency program, she found herself overweight and feeling tired and discouraged. She knew that by finding time to prioritize her own physical and mental health, that she would be a more fulfilled mother, wife, and physician...and that is where her fitness and nutrition journey began. 30lbs gone and many years later, Suzanne is now passionate about helping other busy moms find this same fulfillment.

Jake is a personal trainer with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo and advanced certifications in nutrition, joint mobility, strength and conditioning. He has over a decade of experience working with Olympians, NHL hockey players, and athletes of varying ages and skillsets.
More recently, Jake has developed a flexible online training approach that helps busy moms across the world break out of their fitness rut.
