I help Surfers and Snowboarders overcome frustration, struggle, plateaus and pain by building their fitness and skillsets to enhance their abilities and enjoyment in surf and snow sports.
I’m a Surf and Snowboard Instructor, ex-Snowboard Athlete, and a Specialist in Sports Performance focused on mountain and ocean sports.
For me, these sports provide the challenge and adventure that’s missing in our lives and I know the physical and psychological adversities they present, and I am passionate about enhancing our riding abilities and potential.
On my own journey, I’ve had my share of injuries and ailments, including surgeries, bone breaks, and joint dislocations, some leaving me in pain for years. As I’ve gotten a little older and assumed more life responsibility, my time in the ocean and the mountains has naturally reduced, and I have felt the impact on my mobility, strength, fitness, and riding.
Through this I have learned the integrity of practising self-rehab, functional movement, and sport-orientated fitness, enabling me to reclaim, improve and maintain my riding skills and life as an outdoor sports athlete.
It’s led me on a journey of self-discovery through rehabilitation from pain to the pursuit of fulfilling lifelong health and performance, all driven by a never-ending passion for riding mountains and waves.
I aim to use and share everything I’ve learned to help you and others level up and maximise your life in outdoor sports, so you can become the board sports athletes and enthusiasts you want to be.
Snowboarding has been my passion for many years. I am a qualified snow sports instructor, ex-gymnast and an avid surfer, and I handle technical support and logistics at Mtnwave.
My riding story has also been a little bumpy; I suffered some nasty injuries during my snowboard career, including misplaced vertebrae and a dislocated elbow, and I certainly know what it feels like to feel frustrated and helpless in the surf.
I have personally used the Mtnwave programs to help me overcome nagging pain from injuries, and the training has enabled me to establish my fitness, confidence and strength as a surfer/snowboarder, even after becoming a mum.
I know the challenges some people face with fitness and motivation and the unsureness of being new to strength-type exercises. I can testify that the physical therapy and strength exercises within the programs are suitable for men and women of all ages, levels and abilities.
No matter where your starting point is, the programs can help you bounce back, get fit to look and feel good and reach your personal goals, as they have for me.
We love sharing our passion and seeing our clients realise their health, fitness and riding potential. So when you’re ready, we look forward to seeing you on the inside.
We do this work because we know what it feels like to be nursing pain years after an injury. We understand the relentless demand of getting pounded in the surf, how the slams, joint aches, and leg burn suck when you are on the mountain, and how it doesn't get easier as life gets busier. Still, most of all, we remember why we fell in love with extreme sports and the outdoors, and we want to keep enjoying that for years to come! We built Mtnwave Fitness to give you, the outdoor athletes and enthusiasts of the world, the simple tools you need to get unstuck and bring your riding to new, reachable heights!
