A bit about me.
I’ve been involved in sports and fitness for most of my life, from soccer in my youth, to rock climbing, backpacking, and strength training as an adult. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a passion for sharing this knowledge and creating pathways for others to thrive.
I graduated from the Civil Engineering Technology program at Lethbridge College and worked in engineering consulting for nearly a decade. During this time, I learned that the mostly sedentary lifestyle didn’t support my goals. I became passionate about evidence-based training as a means to improve both my health and climbing performance, sharing this knowledge with the local community.
I dived into the Personal Fitness Training program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, where I thrived, graduating with honors. You know when something simply feels perfect, but you have a hard time describing why? This was coaching for me. As I have found the “why” for myself, I work to support you in achieving the goals that bring value to your life.
My own journey has not been without adversity, and I can deeply empathize with the challenges faced when working to incorporate fitness into your life. The role I play is as a collaborator in your life, breaking down barriers and building sustainable habits as you work toward your goals, without sacrificing your ideals.
I want to make fitness work for your life, not vice versa.
Holistic, Inclusive, and Evidence-Based.
-
Holistic
Each of our experiences with health and wellness is different, and I believe that the differences that make us unique require the approach I take as a coach to be as individualized as your needs. Working to foster health-benefitting habits which set you up for life.
-
Inclusive
The unique experiences that make us who we are should be embraced. The environment you train in should make you confident in yourself, your body, and your abilities.

Evidence-Based
In the perpetually improving landscape of exercise science, I vow to maintain the integrity and relevancy of the information that shapes the services you receive.
