Discover the SeaStrength Difference
With decades of instructional experience and a background in healthcare, I'll help you reach your goals - adventure, health and fitness all in one place.
Embrace Adventure, Embrace Your Health
SeaStrength Health offers you the opportunity to experience adventure, mental health & physical health improvements all at once. If you're the everyday professional who is stressed, tired, and busy, SeaStrength Health was built for you!
All my programs are flexible - allowing you to choose where and how you want to spend your program time. This may be at home, on a beach, or in a kayak. It may be spent practising everything from stress reduction techniques to functional training; from hiking & outdoor skills to Paddle Canada sea kayak skills & theory.
Blue Mind
We have known for a long time that spending time in nature is good for our health. While both 'green spaces' (forests) and 'blue spaces' (oceans, lakes & rivers) are beneficial to mental & physical health, blue spaces have been shown to be the most therapeutic.
The ocean lowers stress, boosts creativity and problem solving, and improves your energy & mental clarity. This is known as 'Blue Mind'. SeaStrength Health delivers most programs on or beside the water, making the most of the Blue Mind benefits.
Bridging the Gaps
Traditionally, health care, mental health, outdoor recreation and physical fitness are all kept separate, are offered by separate organizations, and require each person to seek out the components they need help with.
SeaStrength Health bridges the gap between each of these realms and brings it all together with Kayak Therapy and Nature-Based Health promotion.
Your Safety, My Priority
Every program that I offer though SeaStrength Health has a strong emphasis on safety and accommodation. As your instructor, I have extensive qualifications as a Sea Kayak Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer, and Registered Nurse. Ensuring a safe space for all to learn is my goal. Programs are always trauma-informed and have a focus on injury prevention and health promotion.
Not only will you be equipped with the necessary skills and tools that you will need during the journey, SeaStrength Health supplies high quality, fitted kayaks, paddles, safety gear, and immersion wear.
SeaStrength Health takes safety seriously: client fitness to participate, weather and equipment condition is assessed daily. Please check out the FAQ page for more information about cancellation policies and client expectations.
