I am a certified exercise physiologist and coach with over 20 years of experience training and coaching women. I work primarily with active women 40+ who want to keep training, competing, and moving well for decades to come. My coaching practice sits at the intersection of performance and longevity. I hold a Masters in Kinesiology (high performance designation) and an MSc in Health Psychology, which allows me to combine evidence-based programming with behavioural strategies to keep women motivated and reaching their goals. I am certified through ACSM (EP) and CSEP (CPT), am an NCCP swim coach, and hold a Triathlon Canada coaching license. Programming and coaching advice is based on evidence-based research and my athletes' needs. I believe in collaboration, intelligent programming and having fun! I do not believe in grinding through pain, and I do not believe that getting older requires us to give up our favourite activities. Performing through the decades simply requires more throughtful training. My focus is female athletes, with particular interest in women navigating midlife physiology, and on injury prevention. I offer structured group training programs built around a shared goal race, combining a TrainingPeaks plan with virtual coaching calls and in-person group runs.
I am also a recreational athlete, so I understand what it takes to keep training through the realities of a full life!
