Meet the Instructors

Ann has been trained as a General Practice physician in the Philippines with years of experience in the hospital, community and corporate settings. She always had a passion to become a doctor as a child, dreaming of wearing the white coat and a stethoscope wrapped around her neck and helping the sick. In 2012, she and her husband, also a physician, immigrated to Canada. Since then, she has worked closely with general practitioners and specialists in medical clinics as a Physician Assistant and Clinic Coordinator while working on her Canadian medical licensing exams. She is a mom to two young energetic boys ages 6 and 3 and understands firsthand the challenges and joys of motherhood. Her family lives in Calgary and they are proud to be home to breathtaking landscapes, beautiful neighborhoods, the best family-friendly attractions and the amicable local community spirit. She started Little Medical School in Calgary as she was inspired by her 5-year-old son who loves to role play as a doctor and verbalizes that he wanted to be a doctor when he grows up. In search of child enrichment programs that would fit her child’s interest, she discovered that there is a lack of medical themed workshops for kids. She believes that children should be exposed to experiences in line with their passion that will enrich and nurture their young minds. She is committed to help parents to let their kids achieve their dreams and to advance Little Medical School’s mission which is to inspire tomorrow’s healthcare providers today.

Karate instructor with over 30 years of karate experience, third level black belt ("sandan"). My goal is to spread the spirit, history, culture, and techniques of karate as well as educate students in the traditional Kyokushin style, ultimately training their hearts and bodies to become equally strong fighters and peaceful individuals. Founder of "Friendly Eagle Kyokushin Karate School", as well as "Friendly Eagle Software", "Eagle GPS" and "Friendly Eagle Farms".

Everyone has the potential to learn and practice karate. We have fun from time to time, but training is pretty rigorous and strict, starting with the most basic technique and gradually evolving towards learning the advanced ones while strengthening the mind and body. OSU!

I’m Natasha Frost, a certified personal trainer and holistic nutritionist, but more importantly, a mom who understands the struggles of core weakness firsthand. After experiencing diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction myself, I realized how little support and education there was for women dealing with these issues. That’s what led me to specialize in core rehabilitation and strength training for women at all stages of life.
