I started my fitness journey after a workplace repetitive use back injury. After some chiropractic treatment and physio, I started doing some typical "gym bro weight training" and noticed an immediate and massive difference in how I felt on a daily basis. Then one day I tried my first barbell back squat and immediately fell in love with weight training. A couple years after that, in 2013, I started getting involved in CrossFit aaaaand now here I am.

With a background in lifeguarding, I have a total of 14 years of experience teaching and coaching swimming lessons, Aquafit, CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. I specialize in assessing and improving movement patterns with a focus on Olympic Weightlifting and Barbell Strength Training. In general, I like to nerd out on "human movement patterns" or any type of new or different movement I haven't tried yet. Oh, and I also specialize in binge eating :)

My favorite thing about coaching is when a person has the realization that they just did, or have the ability to do something they never thought they would be able to do. Playing a part in helping people grow is a really special feeling. In addition to my background in coaching different types of athletes, I have also achieved medals in Olympic weightlifting competitions and pride myself on my ability to coach those skills.
