Meet our Functional Patterns practitioners in Oakville.

As a dedicated Functional Patterns practitioner, I specialize in biomechanics and movement optimization to help clients overcome physical limitations and reach their full potential. I started my professional journey in the fitness industry in 2014 after graduating from the Health, Wellness and Fitness Program at Mohawk College, completing my co-op as Experiential Learning and Anatomy Technologist. I then started working as a Personal Trainer at Movati Athletic.

In my time as a PT 9/10 of clients came to me with some sort of pain or physical limitation. They joined the gym and wanted a trainer to guide and “motivate” them because staying physically active and fit had always been a struggle. I came to realize, people aren’t necessarily lazy. Moving just didn’t ever feel good, they lacked energy, and typically exercise lead to more pain, stiffness and stress. I tried every “evidence based” methodology I could find with my clients, but with limited results. I started to incorporate some Functional Patterns in 2016, however my full turning point wasn’t until a car accident in 2017 which left me with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Frozen Shoulder, and SI joint pain.

I attempted Physio, massage, structural integration, experiencing the same thing my clients had; limited results. At this point I decided to go all in with Functional Patterns as I could no longer deny the results. I bought the 10 week online course, and within 8 weeks I was experiencing changes in my body like never before. I decided to become certified in 2018 and haven’t looked back. In 2019 I decided to go independent and started Functional Patterns Oakville, the vessel that would bring Functional Patterns to the Greater Toronto Area. I’ve been living pain free and moving better than I ever have as I get older.

Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain or aiming to elevate your physical performance, my mission is to guide you to move with purpose and achieve lasting results.

I’ve been physically active for a good part of my life, working jobs that require physical labor to attaining my 3rd degree brown belt from Kaizen Martial Arts. I started to develop pain in my shoulder, upper-back, hip and ankles, that physical therapy just wasn’t helping with. Within a few weeks of applying the Functional Patterns 10 week online course I started seeing massive progress.

To me Functional Patterns is a method that allows you to constantly grow not only in physical but mental strength. It allows you to identify which habits are holding you back from optimal health and provides the tools and guidance to replace them with ones that will.

Which is why I want to help guide people in their FP journey since doing so will not only help me learn new things about my habits, but also because it means we will have more problem solvers and people working at their full potential in a way society.
