I am a registered Biokineticist and I have a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science with over 11-years of experience in the field of fitness. This includes 7-years of experience working with athletes across multiple sports and age groups.

I have worked in corporate health and wellness, and currently help many people including chronic disease patients to improve their physical well-being through individualized exercise interventions with special considerations for the individuals health condition. In addition, rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries form a significant part of my services.

My current role involves working with the SA Men's Hockey team as a Sport Scientist and Biokineticist. A key responsibility has been to prepare the team physically for the Tokyo Olympics and 2022 Commonwealth Games. During a recent 5-year tenure as a strength and conditioning coach working within a university sport setting, six of the many athletes that I have trained have gone on to be included in the SA national hockey squad or play professional football.

My approach to athletic training integrates the principles of Strength and Conditioning (i.e., strength and fitness training) with movement screening assessments often applied in the field of Biokinetics. Understanding an individual’s movement capabilities is critical prior to delivering a robust individualized training intervention and lays the foundation for progressing towards advanced plans, and ultimately, safely achieving one’s goals. The addition of data analysis (i.e., Sport Science component) where applicable, provides objective information that can be used to inform or adjust an individuals training plan. This holistic approach is current best practice and is likely to result in positive performance outcomes.

My passion for helping athletes to enrich their physical potential through the application of evidence-based exercise protocols has also provided opportunities for me to publish research on physical performance in peer reviewed journals.
