We have an incredible group of women that make up Thrive!
MSW Masters of Social Work, RSW Registered Social Worker, CPT Certified Personal Trainer
Jacklyn Frias
Jacklyn is a Register Social Worker and Certified Personal Trainer with years of experience working in both fields in Parry Sound. From her interactions at her fitness studio and in the larger community she noticed the commonly perceived disconnect between mental and physical health in a person's overall well-being. Many people were open and active in pursuing their physical health goals, but when it came to the larger and deeper aspects of well-being they neglected self-care. It is from these observations that JF Fitness and Therapy & THRIVE was born and her passion to counsel real people, going through the everyday issues, with no stigma attached became a reality. She has created a safe, open, caring community of strong and empowered people looking to take control of their own happiness. Join this community by setting up an appointment and work alongside Jacklyn to find the You you want to be.

seeking treatment for more specific purposes. More specific treatments may include,
