Kinesiologist

As a BCAK Practicing Kinesiologist and Certified Athletic Therapist, I am passionate about helping people meet their functional fitness goals in a safe and positive environment.

I have had a passion for sports and exercise since a young age, and love being able to share my knowledge on the topic with others. My goal is to collaborate with every client to ensure that each program works towards achieving their goals using a form of exercise they enjoy. With my background in athletic therapy, I also place a strong emphasis on safe and functional movement that can be translated into everyday life.

I was born and raised in Campbell River, BC, where I grew up participating in a variety of sports including softball, volleyball, dance and swimming. This led to an interest in therapeutic exercise and injury rehabilitation, which prompted me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic & Exercise Therapy from Camosun College. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities, including first-time gym goers and both recreational and Olympic-level athletes.

I look forward to helping my clients meet their full potential and grow confidence in movement.

Kinesiologist

Athletic Therapist

I’m passionate about helping people move well and live active lives, whether that means returning to sport, staying pain-free at work, or simply keeping up with everyday life. In 2021 I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic & Exercise Therapy at Camosun College, and have since been working as a Certified Athletic Therapist and Practicing Kinesiologist. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, focusing on functional fitness and movement that supports real-life demands.

My background in competitive sports; including swimming, rugby, basketball, and cross country, gave me firsthand insight into the importance of movement, recovery, and balance. That eventually led me to coaching, where I had the opportunity to train and mentor young athletes in competitive swimming. Over the years, these experiences have helped shape my client-centered approach: one that combines science, empathy, and encouragement.

Above all, I believe that health should feel empowering, not overwhelming. I’m here to teach, guide, and motivate in making fitness and wellness a sustainable, rewarding part of your life. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me lifting, learning, or outside with my dog Kyro exploring the trails and staying active.

Personal Trainer

Fitness and personal health has always been a key part of my life. In 1999, my love of sports and physical fitness led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Since that time my education in health and fitness has been ongoing, becoming certified many areas which has greatly added to my 18 years of practical experience.

My main goal for establishing Core Personal Fitness in 2001 was to help motivate people to feel their personal best. In January 2013 I was pleased to open the studio at 1109 Kings Rd in Quadra Village. Having my own business has allowed me to realize my dream of helping clients of all types reach their health and fitness goals in a judgment free, motivating, private environment.

I am now able to spend my time working one on one with clients to achieve their goals (my true passion) in an environment that promotes success.

Kinesiologist

I am passionate about helping my clients live healthier, more empowered lives through movement, strength and sustainable wellness habits. My post secondary education began in Nutritional Sciences but I soon shifted my focus to exercise science; completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Sport and Fitness Leadership in 2017, then applyinging my degree to become a Practicing Kinesiologist with the BCAK. Since 2015, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients focusing on functional movement that supports real life strength and resilience. Some of those clients are still working with me consistently today!

I believe muscle and strength go far beyond aesthetics and are so important for longevity, mental health, hormone balance and overall quality of life. After having a baby last year, I have developed a deeper connection to pre and post natal clients, supporting them through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. However, I enjoy working with all types of clients who may be dealing with various injuries or medical conditions.

My overall goal as a Kinesiologist is to make fitness accessible, enjoyable and tailored to each individual. I help my clients achieve their goals by teaching them how to implement a balanced lifestyle that encompasses all aspects of health. I love how the field of health and wellness is continuously evolving and I am constantly learning and educating myself within the field.
