I have been involved in equestrian sports for over two decades. My personal riding has included coming through 4H, competing on the local fair circuits in both western and english, competing hunter jumper, grooming and riding internationally as a working student and returning to ride as an adult in the English and western disciplines. I have worked as a professional show medic for over a decade and work with riders ranging from grassroots to professional on and off horse toward injury rehab, on horse position enhancement and confidence. My way of coaching and practicing has been influenced by my personal journey. It’s become important to me to provide meaningful, practical and mindful approaches to the horse-human partnership and my goal is always to support riders in finding embodied relationships with their riding and their horses in ways that are relevant to their unique intentions.

I currently run two practices: Evoke Body + Mind and RideWell Performance, seeing clients and teaching groups full time throughout western Canada. I also write regularly and have been featured as a columnist in a variety of publications and have presented keynotes and workshops at national level events throughout Canada. I am a coach and program coordinator at BP Sport Horses in Manitoba and a co-host of The Aligned Podcast.

For my equestrian clients, I specialize in functional return to sport after injury, acute injury or trauma rehabilitation, riding with anxiety, chronic pain, biomechanics focused coaching, specialized equitation coaching, continuing education for coaches and trainers, high performance support and development for professional athletes and I offer clinics and workshops across Canada. I strongly believe that our ability to be present in our body and practice awareness in and out of the saddle is what creates effective partnership with our equine counterparts.
