Sam grew up playing a variety of sports but found her love for fastpitch early on where she played competitively for 12 years. Through her love for sports, Sam developed a keen interest in human movement and fitness which led her to completing an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at Queen’s University. Following her degree, Sam worked with a variety of populations from children to athletes to older adults as a Registered Kinesiologist in Ontario. In 2022, Sam decided to return to school to further her career as a Kinesiologist where she is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Kinesiology at UBC and interning as a Strength and Conditioning coach with the varsity teams on campus.
Regular fitness is a crucial component of overall wellness and quality of life. Sam believes establishing a greater mind-body connection will translate into a healthier, happier and pain-free life. Through her sessions, Sam helps her clients create fitness goals and routines that fit their needs and ultimately provide them with the necessary tools to be better equipped to achieve their goals and prevent injuries.
Although competitive level fastpitch is now in the past, Sam continues to play recreationally in pickup games while also focusing on her passion of health management through strength training. On a nice day, you can always find Sam moving her body in some capacity whether that be hiking/biking/running in the summer or skiing in the winter. With her passion for health and fitness, Sam hopes to inspire and encourage her clients to reach their full potential both in the gym and out.
