Lydia-Rose’s love of movement started at the age of three when she began dancing. She joined a competitive dance group at the age of seven and danced at a provincial and national level up until the age of eighteen. Her love of biomechanics within movement was the main reason that propelled her to graduate with a degree of Science with a specialty in Active Rehabilitation and Exercise Prescription from Simon Fraser University in 2015.
She volunteered as an athletic therapist for the Varsity women’s soccer team as well as worked in the fitness centre throughout her five years at the university. Lydia-Rose was initially drawn to physiotherapy but halfway through her degree, she realized that correcting movement partners and optimizing body awareness were an essential part of injury prevention and she fell in love with teaching others about this passion of hers.
While Lydia-Rose’s sessions focus on exercises and functional movement partners, she believes holistic fitness can be achieved in just more than a gym setting. Any type of activity that gets you up and moving is golden in her eyes and she herself is dedicated to enjoying activities such as walking, hiking, skiing and swimming.
While you will be hard-pressed to find Lydia-Rose indoors on a sunny day, you can find her doing fun HITT workouts at the gym, going to spin class or attending Jiu Jitsu, which she does 3-4 times /week. She hopes to inspire her clients to achieve the same balance of gym-based exercise and outdoor activities within their lives in order to obtain a readily sustained active lifestyle.
