Shiva was born and raised on Vancouver Island and grew up in the popular town of Ucluelet B.C. Growing up on the island has given her a love for hiking and camping during all seasons of the year. Taking her passions to the next level she travelled to Iceland to explore the intense climate and compare the unpredictable weather systems to that of our own. As her interests lie in the realm of physical activity she has taken a keen interest in pilates to prepare and push the limits on her next adventure.
