A Foundation Built in the Lab, Not Just the Gym
While many trainers rely on weekend certifications, my coaching is grounded in an Honours Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph. My education wasn’t just in a classroom; it was in the anatomy lab with the one and only Dr. Lorraine Jadeski.Anatomical Precision
Two years of intensive, cadaver-based human anatomy, including hands-on dissection of every major muscle, nerve, and joint.
As a former laboratory technician for the 4th-year advanced study of human anatomy class, I gained even further anatomical experience.
Injury Prevention
At UoG, I completed biomechanical laboratory work, where we analyzed human movement patterns and the mechanical forces acting on different joints during specific movements.
Based on this knowledge and my own coaching experience, I prescribe movements that respect your specific joint mechanics and injury history.
Applied Neuroscience
Background in Brain & Cognition allows me to understand neural pathways, helping you build better motor patterns and sustainable habits.
