Workshops

ChiRunning

As an avid runner that’s overcome a serious back injury, ChiRunning® is a natural fit for me. It’s really helped me bring joy back to running while making me a more efficient runner. I’ve described it as yoga-like and the “thinking man’s running”. It makes you learn that everything truly comes from the core.

We don’t actually do much “running”, rather we concentrate on form and getting the basics down. There is a lot to learn in a short time!

I do these in very small groups so I can concentrate on giving feedback to everyone on their technique. I also answer questions during the break and at the end of the day so everyone can get something beneficial and personalized out of the workshop.

Golf Fitness

I’m glad to have added a recent Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Fitness Professional accreditation to my toolbox. As an avid golfer and a fitness professional, this was a logical next step to help my clients.

For those who don’t know what TPI (http://www.mytpi.com/) is, it’s basically the fitness aspect of golf. I’m not a golf pro (yet) but I can look at your physical limitations and see how you can improve your fitness (strength, mobility and stability) so you can improve your golf swing. Most of the work TPI fitness professionals do resolves around a golf screening, which takes people through 12 physical tests to determine limitations.

Depending on the results, individualized exercises will be prescribed to help with those limitations and explain the reasoning behind them. Building awareness through drills and exercises will also make you more informed about the biomechanics of golf. The great thing is there is newfound research on the fitness and biomechanics of golf, and with the help of video analysis, it can propel your game to the next level.

Combining the knowledge of how the body works during the golf swing with over 10 years of coaching will allow me to work with every level of athlete and provide specific tips for each person.

Making you fitter, more flexible and a better athlete will allow you to become a better golfer and most importantly, enjoy it more!

Triathlon Coaching

As a certified ChiRunning® & running injury prevention specialist , a former Race Director  & Spinning® instructor and a Clydesdale athlete, I bring a diverse approach to coaching triathlon. I truly believe that being efficient and effective makes sure you get to the finish line and you cross it with a smile!

I’m a seasoned vet of the triathlon circuit, having competed all over North America, from the sprint distance all the way to the Ironman®. I’m a big believer in training smarter and customizing training plans to the individual and keeping things fun so you’re in it for the long run.

After completing close to 50 multi-sport races, I now specialize in leading beginner triathletes to their goals. I taught a few introduction to triathlon classes through the City of Ottawa where I got the bug to pass on my passion.

Small Business Coaching

I love being my own boss! Do you?

One of the greatest personal satisfactions is creating the self-employed business of your dreams. But the fact is that most self employed people are in love with what they do, but might not be best equipped to deal with all the details of running a business.

According to Statistics Canada, approximately 16 percent of all workers in the Canadian economy in 2010 were self-employed. And self-employed folks worked more hours on average than employees. Unfortunately not all self-employed are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. My mission is to help you navigate the water so you can work smarter, not harder.

Through small business coaching and workshops, I will provide you with the skills and resources and Most importantly, I will leave you with a plan, a path to follow.

As an an objective observer, I can help you see challenges and develop solutions for your business.

There are generally three problems for the self-employed:
-You’re an expert at what you do but you’re overwhelmed with the daily dose of ideas and information.
-You need to learn business and marketing skills so you can increase revenue and grow your business.
-You usually have an idea of what is needed — but simply can’t find the time to juggle all the responsibilities of owning a business.
Without support and knowledge in running a business, you can end up struggling to make your business a success, and all your passion and enthusiasm will eventually drain away.

Coaching can help you:
-Learn specific marketing and business skills
-Co-create an action plan for growing your business
-Boost clarity and focus to manage your time wisely
-Create motivation and accountability
-Most importantly increase revenue and profits

As a small business owner myself, I’ve been there. I provide “tough love” to business owners who are not where they want to be.

Self-employment is the best lifestyle I know. I can help take your business to the next level so you can fulfill your dreams.
