Welcome to c.m.w.a!
Welcome to the Canadian Military Women’s Association (C.M.W.A)
Hello, and welcome to the Canadian Military Women’s Association (C.M.W.A)! My name is Amber Phoenix, and I am thrilled to introduce you to this incredible initiative that aims to unite and empower servicewomen across the nation.
As a former military member with extensive experience as a Communications Systems Technician and Tactical Communications Systems Maintainer, I’ve witnessed firsthand the strength, resilience, and camaraderie that women in the military bring to the table. I’ve served in diverse roles, including HCLOS Maintainer, and I’ve been honoured to contribute to our nation's security. My journey has taught me that community and connection are vital to thriving both in and beyond military life.
In addition to my military background, I hold certifications as a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and Yoga Instructor, and I’m a 10-time World Record Holding Powerlifting Champion. These experiences have shown me the importance of supporting one another through shared challenges and celebrating our unique strengths. Through the C.M.W.A, I hope to bring these values to life by fostering a supportive and inspiring environment for servicewomen past and present.
What is the C.M.W.A?
The Canadian Military Women’s Association was founded on the principle of creating a space where women from all branches of the military can connect, share their experiences, and uplift one another. Whether you are actively serving or a veteran, the C.M.W.A is here to provide a platform for networking, personal growth, and community engagement.
Our Mission
The mission of the C.M.W.A is simple yet profound: to empower servicewomen by fostering connections, providing resources for personal and professional development, and promoting the unique contributions of women in the military. We believe that by coming together, we can amplify our voices, share our stories, and create a legacy of excellence and camaraderie.
Why Join Us?
Through the C.M.W.A, we aim to:
Build Community: Connect with like-minded women who understand the challenges and triumphs of military life.
Promote Wellness: Access resources and workshops focused on physical and mental health, including yoga, fitness, and mindfulness programs.
Share Stories: Celebrate the achievements of servicewomen through storytelling, blogs, and interviews.
Provide Support: Offer mentorship and guidance for transitioning to civilian life or navigating military careers.
A Personal Vision
As a proud member of the military community and someone who’s deeply passionate about health, wellness, and personal empowerment, my vision for the C.M.W.A is to create a space where servicewomen feel valued, heard, and supported. I’ve seen how transformative it can be when women come together to lift each other up, and I want the C.M.W.A to be a place where we celebrate our shared experiences and embrace our unique journeys.
I’m particularly excited about introducing initiatives that highlight the diverse skills and achievements of military women, from fitness challenges to career development workshops. I also hope to leverage my background as a world champion athlete and real estate professional to inspire others to pursue their goals, no matter how big or small.
