Brenda is not usually one to talk about herself,  but was once told to put herself out there, so here she is. She's a woman who carries her heart on her sleeve and her passion in her soul. She's been married to her handsome, supportive husband, Nathan for 9 years and they have a beautiful almost 8 year old daughter named Kamryn. They are her world, they have her heart. Brenda was diagnosed with a mental illness shortly after having her daughter, and quickly realized that was a gift. She also realized that taking care of her body physically was not number one, it was her brain, and she had a huge shift internally. Having the opportunity to lead women in fitness and wellness and creating wellness retreats is something she's truly grateful for, as all of the connection and drops of sweat ignites something in herself. When she sees it in another's eyes and watches their face light up, that is one of her proudest moments. It rewards her to see people smile and light up from the inside out. Empowering women and collaborating with community is where she's meant to be on her life journey. She is so grateful for the opportunity and connection. 

Mary LeBreton, founder of Orthos Media Management! A prior career hopper who found passion amidst the pandemic in digital marketing.    Her favourite thing is laughing, it's almost like a hobby. If that's making someone else laugh or making herself laugh. .. What she's found is marketing businesses is simple when you're having fun. Through content days, reels and capturing the raw behind the scenes, the honesty within your business will create huge trust with consumers.   Her personality has always been strong, she makes no apologies for that, though, when she was younger it was clouded by the need to “fit in”. Now, engulfing herself in the unique possibilities of the marketing world is endless! Naturally she was drawn to marketing because the last thing she wanted was to fit in.   Consistently thinking outside of the box or just plain burning it down is the best way to market. She will help your business do that and will also make you laugh along the way. Laughing is always free!   Orthos Media Management offers many packages designed to suit diverse business budgets! They exceed the marketer stereotype by genuinely caring about your overall outcomes and care to truly reach your goals.
