A Mother-daughter Business Duo And The Co-Founders Behind Moncton’s First Lagree Studio
With combined backgrounds in business, bodybuilding, and competitive dance — plus, their shared passion for health and wellness — opening a boutique fitness studio was a natural next step for the Capsons.
Monique is an award-winning bodybuilder (including Miss Canada 2001) and successful fitness entrepreneur. She co-founded Healthier For Life, a nutrition consultation and supplement store, then launched Danza Activewear, a specialty dance apparel shop. Following that, she opened Body Makeover Health and Beauty Spa.
Janica embodies that same love of movement, like her mom. She started dancing at the age of three and was later accepted into the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Chicago Ballet and Boston Ballet. At 16, she won a scholarship to dance in Paris with Les Twins. Throughout her twenties, she has continued her dance career as a teacher whose choreography consistently places first in Canadian competitions.
Since 2013, the Capsons have co-owned and operated Serene Studio, a highly-rated home-based aesthetics business that prides itself on quality and customer service — but in 2023,they decided they were ready for something new.
Drawn to the Lagree Method for its modern approach to fitness, dedication to excellence and overall effectiveness, they became licensees and began building Lagree East — a five-star studio that feels like an earthy sanctuary and inspires deep, lasting strength.
