Our Speakers
-
Tania Neufeld is part of the Gateway North Church family. She and her husband, Joel, are raising three childrenβtwo daughters and a son.
At the heart of Taniaβs passion is seeing people walk out of shame and into the truth of their God-given identity. She believes that what we do flows from knowing who we are, and that lasting transformation becomes possible when we are freed from the lies that
have shaped our sense of personhood and learn to live from the truth of who God created us to be.
Inspired by the picture in Romans 8 of creation eagerly awaiting the revealing of the children of God, Tania longs to see people become deeply rooted in their identity in Christβliving with freedom, wholeness, and purpose as the people they were created to be.

Aimee Bowcott is a Registered Dietitian, Master of Public Health, Certified Diabetes Educator, and lifestyle medicine advocate with more than 25 years of experience helping people and communities care for their health through nutrition, physical activity, chronic disease management, and sustainable lifestyle change.
But Aimeeβs passion goes beyond what we eat or how we move. After two and a half decades in healthcare, she has come to believe that true wellness is about caring for the whole woman God createdβnot pursuing perfection, but learning to receive, steward, and enjoy the life He has given us.
Aimee is passionate about bringing together evidence-based health practices and biblical wisdom, helping women navigate the often-confusing messages surrounding health and wellness with grace, freedom, and practical wisdom. She believes our bodies are gifts from God, worthy of care not because of how they look, but because they have been entrusted to us.
Above all, Aimee is a follower of Jesus, wife, and mother of two teenage boys who loves helping women discover that caring for themselves isn't selfishβit is an act of gratitude for the life God has given them.

Carolyn Klassen holds a Master of Arts degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counselling and a degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Manitoba. She believes that, fundamentally, we are all wired for connectionβand that meaningful relationships have tremendous healing power, including our connection with The Divine. With many years of experience as a therapist, teacher, speaker, and writer, Carolyn brings a wealth of insight into the human experience. Her own story of losses and joys has deepened her understanding of grief, pain, anxiety, depression, joy, grace, and the things we donβt often talk about in polite company. Carolynβs presentations are engaging and thought-provoking, weaving together personal stories, scientific research, faith, and a deeply human perspective. She taught for many years at the University of Manitoba, is a regular teacher at The Meeting Place, speaks widely, and writes about connection
and belonging, including Wired for Connection: the Jesus way of Belonging in a Lonely World. She also has a weekly conversation with Hal Anderson on 680 CJOB. Carolyn is married to Jim in a beautifully grafted family and is mom to five sons, five in-laws, and Oma to six grandchildren.
