This is for those who have already purchased the program, but need a little bit of help navigating the app. And it is also for those who are interested in the empowered performance lab, but want a little bit of a preview of what goes on in the app.

as you click through the slides, you will find :
• instructions for what to do once you purchase the program
• an overview of the calendar and how the days are structured; where to find the videos, how to record what you do, and how to leave notes
• How to maximize the apps features such as mood and energy levels, and most importantly the chat

this is of course, the house of the program from an admin standpoint. What I hope to accomplish is provide you with a massive toolbox of warm-ups, cool, downs, exercises, and on ice drills. This is a space for those looking to learn and grow throughout the entire Curling season with a month-to-month commitment. If you have further questions about the program, don’t hesitate to reach out in my DM’s. those who start in this inaugural first month will receive a 40% off discount of that first month.

I’m looking forward to working with you all!

✨ Don’t lose your edge this season ✨
Most athletes stop training once games start — and that’s when performance dips, fatigue rises, and injuries creep in.

👉 In-season training isn’t about doing more. It’s about training smarter: short, focused workouts that keep your strength, mobility, and recovery on point.

Swipe through to learn why, how, when, and the rules of training once you’re back on the ice 🥌💪

📖 Want the full plan? My In-Season Training Guide is packed with sample workouts, recovery tools, and planning strategies to help you perform your best all year.

My little basement gym isn’t aesthetic. The lighting is terrible, the equipment is mismatched, and there’s nothing “Instagram pretty” about it.
But it has been a lifesaver.
👉 During the pandemic
👉 Through pregnancy + postpartum
👉 While running my own business
👉 And while chasing my curling goals
This space has carried me through every season of life — not because it looks good, but because it’s there when I need it.
Consistency > aesthetic. Progress > vibes.
And this basement? It gets the job done. 💪
➡️ What’s your fave unaesthetic home gym must-have?

Three-time Paralympic medallist Mark Ideson said the GSOC Wheelchair Curling Invitational will be a 'really cool opportunity' to showcase his sport alongside the Masters event.

Most curlers stop their off-ice training once the season starts for 2 big reasons:
• Fear of injury, soreness, or extra fatigue
• Thinking it takes way too much time
The truth? Staying consistent with off-ice training helps you avoid injury, recover faster, and stay ready for big events.
You don’t need hours in the gym — just the right strategy.
👉 DM me “inseason” and I’ll send you a few quick resources to help you keep your edge all season long!
