About

From a young age, Bijou was deeply connected to the powerful synergy between mind and body. Athleticism and self-care have always been her cornerstones, grounding her in a life dedicated to vitality and wellness. But life threw her a curveball—Bijou is allergic to fragrances and various chemicals lurking in everyday household items. Her sensitivity became a catalyst for exploring the world of essential oils, which, for her, were more than just fragrances; they were nature’s healing whispers.

Bijou’s journey into aromatherapy began with a formal study at Aroma Studio in New York in 2017. Her passion for this ancient craft blossomed into a full-blown love affair with herbalism and Reiki healing. She honed her skills and spent two vibrant summers sharing her creations at the Merchantville Market off Centre. But that was just the beginning. In 2019, Bijou embarked on yoga teacher training, emerging as a fully certified space holder and ritual guide, ready to infuse her teachings with profound wisdom.

​

Her yoga repertoire is as diverse as it is deep, with specializations in power yoga, yin yoga, hatha yoga, and restorative yoga. Yet, as Bijou navigated this path, her body cried out for attention. She faced a myriad of health challenges that spurred her interest in holistic healing. Yoni pain, cycle irregularities, body aches, fatigue, and nervous system disregulation became her companions. These debilitating symptoms persisted for two years, forcing Bijou to step back from work. Despite visits to multiple doctors and "normal" blood test results, her discomfort was dismissed. On top of this, she struggled with a circulation disorder affecting her comfort in extreme temperatures and allergy-induced asthma.

​

In pursuit of better health and a fresh start, Bijou moved to the serene landscapes of Maui in 2021. This new chapter brought her closer to the nutritional solutions she desperately sought. And as she embraced the island's natural beauty, she also rediscovered her love for exercise. While hoop dance, HIIT, and jogging had kept her active before, now it was time for something more transformative—strength training.

​

Lifting heavier weights in the gym became Bijou’s sanctuary, a place where she found confidence and made remarkable progress. This newfound passion ignited a dream: to compete in bodybuilding, particularly in the Bikini division. Her sights are set on July 2025, where she plans to step on stage and showcase the results of her hard work and dedication.

​

But Bijou’s journey isn’t just about personal triumph. She’s on a mission to inspire and empower other women, especially those over 35, to embark on their own paths of physical rejuvenation. With her guidance, she hopes to help women balance their hormones through strength training, nutritional support, and mindful recovery practices. Bijou is ready to cheer you on, guiding you to harness your strength, embrace your power, and transform your life with sass, wit, and unstoppable charm.

​

You can work with Bijou privately, or train in person at FuzionFit gym. She also offers a Recovery yoga class on Sundays at 9 AM at FuzionFit gym.
