About me

I am a longtime certified personal trainer, Nordic walking expert, and professional health & fitness writer. I have a degree in physical education & health, hold numerous fitness certifications, and studied writing at Toronto Metropolitan University.

I have been a Master Trainer for Nordic walking company Urban Poling Inc. since 2006.

My Nordic walking classes, offered in Toronto’s High Park and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, have been running since 2008.

Also popular are my private and semi-private Nordic walking classes and my small-group Quick-Start Clinics.

I am the author of The Urban Poling Ultimate Guide to Nordic Walking and The Urban Poling Ultimate Guide to Nordic Walking For Instructors.

My passion lies in introducing people to the many benefits of outdoor exercise through Nordic walking. Time flies when you’re moving in a happy group of like-minded souls, you’re enjoying the beautiful scenery at a walker’s pace, and immersing yourself in the nature around you.
