I have been coaching now for 8 years with my Level One coaching and working on my level 2 coaching. This summer I have received my licence as a Registered Massage Therapist and am excited to apply my new knowledge of the body in training and in injury to my coaching. I am absolutely in love with skating and I love passing on the best of my skating knowledge on to anyone at any level who wants to learn to skate. I teach all disciplines at all levels of testing and look forward to opportunities to embark on competitive levels and choreography. I’m excited to work with the Brantford Skating Club and wish us all a fantastic skating season! |
