Sam is a Registered Kinesiologist and Clinical Exercise Physiologist with a passion for helping individuals improve their health, independence, and quality of life through evidence-based exercise and movement.

She began her journey in kinesiology at Queen’s University, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. Following graduation, she became a Registered Kinesiologist in Ontario and began working in the field in 2020, gaining experience supporting individuals with a wide range of health goals and physical challenges.

Driven by her passion for clinical exercise and rehabilitation, she moved to British Columbia to pursue her Master’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia. During this time, she expanded her expertise in exercise science, rehabilitation, and the application of physical activity for managing complex health conditions, with a particular focus on individuals living with spinal cord injuries and those recovering from stroke. Sam later became a Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), expanding her ability to work with individuals requiring specialized exercise programming and support.

Sam also holds a Certified Inclusive Fitness Specialist certification, which reflects her commitment to creating accessible, welcoming, and adaptable exercise environments for individuals of all abilities. She has a particular passion for working with older adults and individuals living with chronic and neurological conditions, including spinal cord injuries, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other complex health conditions. Her goal is to empower clients through personalized exercise programs that build confidence, improve function, and help them participate in the activities that matter most to them.

Outside of her professional life, she practices what she teaches. You can often find her in the gym, training for her next cycling race, exploring new routes with friends, reading, or working on a creative art project. Sam believes movement is not only essential for physical health but also an important part of building community, independence, and a fulfilling lifestyle.
