Who Is Sarah Taylor?
Sarah Taylor is a plus size model, personal trainer, motivational speaker and the former holder of the Miss Plus Canada title. She has built a career around a single, stubborn belief: that health, strength and self-worth are not reserved for one body type, one dress size or one age. Her work moves between the runway, the weight room and the stage, and each of those spaces has taught her something different about what confidence actually requires. This site is where all of those lessons come together.
Her modelling career gave her a public platform, but it was the training that changed her daily life. Learning to lift, to move well and to treat her body as a capable instrument rather than a project to be fixed reshaped how she approached everything else. That shift is the reason she became a personal trainer — not to help people shrink, but to help them discover what their bodies can do when the goal is strength instead of punishment.
As a speaker, Sarah talks about body image, media literacy and the practical habits that build genuine self-esteem. She is candid about the fact that confidence is not a switch you flip once and keep forever. It is a practice, rebuilt daily, and she shares the unglamorous parts of that practice as freely as the highlight reel.
What You Will Find Here
This homepage is the front door to a working journal rather than a polished brochure. Recent posts include a love letter to sleep titled "Dear Bed, I love you!" featuring Big Fig Mattress, in which Sarah writes about how recovery and rest underpin every training goal she sets for herself and her clients. Alongside it you will find "4 Tips to Build your Body Confidence," drawn from her appearance on the Cityline segment, where she breaks the abstract idea of self-esteem into small, repeatable actions that anyone can start this week.
Beauty and self-care show up here too, though always with an honest eye. A recent feature, "Sulfate Free and all the softness," explores Pantene's new Rose Water Collection and what it means to choose products that respect your hair and scalp rather than stripping them. Sarah writes about these topics the same way she trains: with attention to what actually works, and without pretending that a shampoo bottle will solve anything deeper than dry ends.
The through-line across every post is practicality. Whether the subject is mattresses, movement or moisturiser, the question Sarah keeps returning to is simple — does this help you live in your body more comfortably, more confidently and with more energy? If the answer is yes, it earns a place here. If it is only marketing noise, it does not.
Work With Sarah
Sarah's coaching philosophy starts from the premise that you do not need to earn the right to be active. Beginners are welcome, larger bodies are welcome, and nobody is asked to apologise for where they are starting from. Her programmes combine strength training, sustainable nutrition habits and the mindset work that keeps people showing up long after motivation has worn off.
For speaking engagements, workshops and media requests, the Contact Sarah page is the fastest way to reach her directly.
If you are here for the first time, start with the body confidence tips, then wander through the rest. Take what is useful, leave what is not, and remember that the goal was never a smaller version of you — it was a stronger, steadier, more comfortable one.
