I am a certified personal trainer, trained in the McGill Method specializing in helping back-pained people restore pain-free resilience and athleticism. I grew up watching desperate people live a pain-free life after working with my father and spine specialist, Stuart McGill. With my Bachelor of Commerce degree, I became the President of his company, Backfitpro, for the last three years, but my real passion was the clinical side of helping people. I knew I had to pursue this. I continue to passionately study and apply the McGill Method with my clients, empowering them to know what is causing their back pain and working to eliminate it from their life for good! Being a world-travelling digital nomad for a couple years, it feels so good to establish a home in beautiful Muskoka and work with amazing people here." See more
