Mentorship for elite athletes
Life Beyond Sport™ is the resource I wish I’d had when I was transitioning from elite athlete to “normal person”. Life is confusing enough without the loss of your identity as an athlete—together, we’ll make it less confusing and more exciting. Because there is so much life to live beyond sport.

I first Bambied onto the ice when I was just two years old. By six years old, I’d completed all CanSkate levels, and by seven years old, I’d started competing. For eight years, I trained at the level of Olympic athletes (sans Olympics): Four hours of skating and two hours of cross-training scheduled around school every day, with up to 8 competitions a year. I competed nationally and won 20+ awards in 12 years.

It’s safe to say, my sport was my identity. So, when a concussion and burn out took me out at 18, I didn’t know who I was without my sport. And the more time I took off to recover, the more I questioned if I even liked my sport anymore. Skating had overtaken my life. Without it, I’d lost my identity, my purpose, and my motivation—and it left me questioning who I was and what I wanted. But those questions led me to the life I live today.

In my life today, I’m a personal trainer, CPMDQ Naturopath and Pilates instructor. I’ve learned how to discern between the training I had to do for my sport and the training I want to do for myself. I now know who I am without my sport—and who I am because of my sport. And I want the same thing for every athlete who doesn’t know what to do without their sport. The possibilities are limitless if you know the questions to ask.
You’re not alone—and, together, we’ll figure out your life beyond sport.
