Australian mum of 3; movement obsessed, wine lover

Shelley has been in the fitness industry for 20 years, and after (very!) recently moving to Invermere from Canmore, she is so excited to bring her extensive experience, empathy and passion for strength training to the Columbia valley.

She has coached a vast range of humans, from Olympic and Canadian National Nordic Ski and Biathletes, to youth development hockey, football and swim athletes; to seniors, acute injury and chronic pain clients, kids, weekend warriors and weight loss clients…… However, in recent years she has found pure joy after working with females; helping her kindred sisters feel strong, empowered, and better understanding their amazing bodies and unique hormonal profiles is truly my jam! Shelley believes that elite strength coaching should not be limited to elite athletes!! The application of current exercise and sport science practices, blended with an art of listening, play, and personality, forms the foundations for successful, individualized programming within her training environments.

“I can’t wait to meet you Invermere. Let our journey to strength and wellness begin!”
