About Us

Every Breath You Take Training teaches life skills that empower communities. As a Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructor I can teach BLS Provider to anyone, although specific to healthcare providers as well as the Heartsaver Program to general public. There are over 40,000 cardiac arrests in Canada every year and 85% of them happen outside of a healthcare setting and away from emergency medical response. Most likely, in your home. Currently, bystander CPR survival rates are only 7-10% due to the general public's fear of doing CPR. Anyone can do CPR! As a BLS Instructor, I can also do general public mass trainings that do not have certifications and only take 1 hour. Hands-Only CPR training sessions can be really fun and educational for families, workplaces and communities!

How We Got Started

I had wanted to become an instructor since the first time I took a CPR course. As a dedicated employee for the Heart & Stroke Foundation for 15 years I became even more passionate about heart disease and stroke, creating a school program that deployed Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and trained 100 students at once on CPR/AED. I am someone who has a heart condition and know the importance of people learning these skills.
