After graduating from the University of Calgary, I started Altitude Athletic Therapy and Fitness Training with the hopes of helping people become healthy, active and as close to pain-free as possible. What started as a small business training clients one-on-one in a downtown Calgary gym, quickly grew to what it is today. A health and wellness business serving clients not only in Calgary, but also in the rural areas of Linden/Acme/Beiseker with the help of an incredible coaching team (see their bios below!). It’s been quite a journey and I’ve learned so much along the way, largely due to the patience and dedication of my incredible clients.
I’ve always lived an active and healthy life. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that valued well rounded meals with home grown veggies and beef and liked to play outside. From waterskiing and wakeboarding to snowboarding and gymnastics, to running and strength training as I got older, I’ve always been on the move! The way I was brought up shaped my belief that physical activity and movement is for everyone, no matter your age, ability, or injury status, it’s a matter of finding the right fit for you.
I work daily at creating and maintaining habits that help me to live a healthy life, my goal is to help you do the same! It’s not always been easy for me, but I’ve found that the more realistic I am about my own strengths and weaknesses, the more empowered I am to face them and make positive changes. I can’t wait to meet you, hear about where you’re at and help you move forward in any way I can!
I’ve worked with clients as young as 14, as old as 83 and everything in between. As a Certified Athletic Therapist and Personal Trainer, I have a strong foundation in anatomy, injury assessment and rehabilitation as well as strength training and this is what helps me help people to get moving.
