Personal training includes all levels of weight lifting, strength, mobility and movement sessions that are in person or virtual. Training in a 1:1 capacity means you receive unique, individualized coaching across whatever movement practice fits your life best and tailored to YOU, your brain and your body. After our assessment we will collaborate on how best to move forward with frequency and session design.

Whether you are looking to learn to lift weights, add structured exercise to your life for the first time, are coming back to a movement practice after time away (for whatever reason), are looking to improve on your knowledge and form in strength training, or want to redefine your relationship to fitness & exercise practices - this is for you!

Modalities/styles: barbells, powerlifting, kettlebells, free weights/body weight, sport-specific training, trauma-informed weight lifting, functional training, general strength & conditioning, mobility

These sessions include:

- rehabilitation of new or old injuries that are impacting your ability to engage in exercise or your daily life
-rehabilitation & movement practices and behaviour change/mental skills to support chronic pain / illness management

Rehabilitation sessions use evidence-based practices to help you reduce pain, improve function and learn how to support yourself and your body! We will look at how we can support both the specific area of injury and your body systems in improving pain thresholds, building capacity, body awareness and embodied practice. While an injury may be focused in one area of the body, we will take a step back to additionally assess body chains and connections, movement patterns & practice and our relationship to pain and our body.

Chronic pain management sessions use a combination of pain science, embodiment/somatic practice, rehabilitation principles, mental skills, resiliency and both physical activity and exercise. We cannot always stop pain completely, but we can learn to develop skills to manage pain and our relationship to it, navigate the world with varying pain levels, ability and function, and understand our relationship to pain, movement and practice.

Gender affirming top surgery preparation and recovery sessions include a combination of strength and mobility training & rehabilitation work. Research shows that exercising prior to a surgery can lead to improved health outcomes, and additionally a movement practice can help you become more familiar & comfortable in your body and gender expression. Recovery from this surgery requires more than the offered advice of “do not lift your arms above your head or lift more than 10lbs for 12 weeks”- there is alot of supportive work and care that can be done within those first twelve weeks to allow you to build strength, connection and improve mobility to return to your daily activities with confidence. As a registered health care provider, I am confident in my approach to helping you navigate the ins and outs of this surgical process. Please reach out for more information on these sessions. Additionally, keep an eye out for the “Top Surgery Recovery Series” coming soon.

With a a maximum of 4 people in each class, these group sessions are designed to offer both a informed, inclusive approach to training and a lower cost option to work together. These classes offer a supportive, encouraging environment to learn how to lift (or improve on existing skill), build and expand on your foundational knowledge of strength training and connect with others. All levels are welcome and encouraged.

Classes are 55minutes and are full body strength (and sometimes ‘conditioning’) sessions. I provide a framework and variations for focus and you get to decide how you engage.

Current Schedule:
Mondays & Wednesdays 7:30pm
Tuesdays 12pm
More dates & times will be added in Winter 2025. Keep an eye out!
