Biography

I was born in Trail, BC in the Kootenays. Growing up I’ve always been active, whether it was team sports, dancing or skiing. I struggled to figure out what I wanted to do in school switching my degree multiple times. My love of exercise was always a constant passion so eventually it led me to kinesiology.

I’ve been in Victoria from 2018 to 2022 completing my kinesiology degree. I graduated from Camosun College after completing my 300 hr co-op placement at Parkway Physiotherapy in Happy Valley, before getting offered a kinesiologist position at our Sooke location. I’m excited to bring strength and conditioning to the Sookies.

I have attained my pre and post natal athletic coaching certification and have been working alongside our pelvic floor therapist focusing on pelvic floor integrative care. I’m passionate in educating and empowering women on understanding their pelvic floor and helping regain their strength to improve their confidence and functionality. I like to approach my clients’ treatment with attention to their main goals, while educating on the importance of exercise technique and how our work in the gym can translate to their everyday life.  I find so much empowerment mentally and physically from strength training and I love to share that with my clients.
