I use a client-centred and trauma-informed approach to connect and collaborate with my clients. I firmly believe that bringing compassion and curiosity into my practice will help folks feel seen and heard as a whole person—not just as the sum of their injuries. I am passionate about combining my expertise on exercise and rehabilitation with my understanding of mental health and how trauma affects the body.
I have been a strength coach and trainer for over 5 years, working with clients of all ages, ability levels, and backgrounds. I specialize in working with youth, athletes (especially barbell athletes), and pre- and post-natal women.
As a competitive Olympic weightlifter and NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) certified coach, I hold extensive knowledge on barbell and strength training. I have a deep understanding of how it can be an empowering and effective tool for folks, both physically and mentally. I have worked as the head coach for several youth Olympic weightlifting and strength and conditioning programs, and I especially enjoy teaching women the benefits of barbell training.
If you are looking to get back into your barbell sport, trying to rehabilitate an injury, or simply trying to incorporate strength training back into your life, I am your go-to gal!
