Virtual and in-person coaching on & off the ice
My goal as a movement therapist is to provide the tools & education necessary for you to experience less pain, and more strength & fitness so that you can play & practice more, perform better, & enjoy your time on the ice better.
As a competition coach with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping curling athletes refine their technique and elevate their performance, both in delivery and brushing. Through my virtual coaching sessions, I provide tailored feedback to help you optimize your movement patterns and achieve a more efficient, powerful performance on the ice.
Here’s how it works:
-
Send Me Your Videos: Record and send me video footage of your delivery and brushing techniques.
-
Receive Expert Analysis: I’ll review your videos and analyze how well you move during your performance, paying close attention to key aspects such as body mechanics, technique, and efficiency.
-
Personalized Feedback: I’ll provide you with detailed feedback, including cues, drills, and exercises specifically designed to address any areas that need improvement.
-
Implement Changes: You’ll use the feedback and drills to make adjustments, improving your overall performance and consistency on the ice.
With my extensive coaching background and deep understanding of curling mechanics, I’ll help you make measurable improvements in your game. Whether you’re working on enhancing your delivery or refining your brushing power and efficiency, I’m here to help you reach your full potential.

For curlers, by a curler
Traditional yoga is not often appropriate, or properly utilized by athletes seeking to improve their flexibility, and ability to relax & recover. Yoga for Curlers recognizes that a yoga practice, or elements of yoga can be a beneficial add to any athletes full-season program.
For those looking to get lower in their slide without risking injury, for balance in their delivery so they can hit the broom & control their weight, for improving your core & upper body strength so that you can be a better brusher, and learn how to manage your nervous system, emotions and breath in life & competition.
We teach from the lens of a Kinesiologist and strength coach, so that your yoga practice builds mobility from a place of stability, educates the athlete about movement efficiency and power production, and provides an opportunity to practice relaxation strategies and breathwork into the athletes season-plan.
Yoga for Curling is the perfect complement to any high performance program. If you’re ready to manage your mind and body and prepare it for training and games, make sure to email me for a complimentary 15 minute call to make sure Yoga for Curling is right for you.
Whether you join the weekly EPVIP Recovery class, create your own individual or team session, or purchase the Yoga for Curlers recording.

Curling Off Ice Training Options
Curling Specific Training, Conditioning & Technique Work. For curlers, by a curler.
Are you preparing for performance, or failing to prepare?
Every sport has different demands, and each phase of your season requires different perspectives and strategies.
When you have specific goals, you will require a specific plan.
There is a major difference between general physical activity (which is still great) and focused training. Focused training employs structured goal setting, regular assessments, and a periodized plan of action specific to each individual circumstance.
High performance athletes have a lot on their plates between work & school, family & social life, training & competing. No matter what sport you play, having someone in your corner with a background in performance preparation can lift the stress from preparing appropriately for your season.
Programs now available on FITR. See Storefront to purchase
