credentials and experience
TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS
I have a Certificate IV in Fitness and 10 years of experience as a movement instructor.
I follow biomechanist Katy Bowman's approach to movement and have undertaken extensive study with her company, Nutritious Movement.
My high school teaching degree and teaching experience has given me a deeper understanding of how to impart knowledge and scaffold concepts so that my clients can learn about movement and their bodies in a way that best suits them and at their own pace.
SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE AND ONGOING EDUCATION
Much of my knowledge comes from my own research into movement and alignment, driven by a deep personal interest in the subject and my own physical experiences in my journey toward health and wellness. I'm a movement geek, so it's not unusual for me to be seen with some kind of movement/anatomy related text in hand - I love learning about movement!
As part of my ongoing education into movement and alignment, I have completed a range of relevant courses. I have a particular interest in the technicalities of walking and have undertaken in-depth education covering this essential movement and how to teach the elements of a healthy gait pattern.
I have also undertaken education around therapeutic mobility courses, providing me with a thorough understanding of these techniques and how to teach them to others.
