"Hi! I'm Rosie, I use she/they pronouns.

 

I love finding new ways to move my body, and helping other people connect with their own curiosity about their movement practice. I've tried just about every unconventional sport I can access, with a history of competitive slalom kayaking and cheerleading. These days you'll usually find me upside down on either a pole or aerial lyra, deep underwater free diving, or fighting the lesbian urge to try bouldering again.

 

I'm also a massive geek about the brain and body, I completed my Bachelor of Science in human physiology and biochemistry, and my Master of Biomedical Science in neuroscience. It brings me so much joy to take dense scientific concepts out of textbooks and lecture halls, and bring them to life in a way that feels accessible, empowering, and relevant to people in my classes.

 

In 2016, I suffered meningococcal meningitis with a very low chance of survival, and the possibility of never regaining full function of my legs. It left me with nerve damage and chronic pain, and a long winding road of recovery. Strength training became a cornerstone of rebuilding my life, and helped me regain function and confidence I thought I'd lost forever. Living with chronic pain and an invisible disability has reshaped how I think about movement, rest, and resilience. I know that some days are harder to show up for than others, and that it can be difficult to know when to push, and when to rest. 

 

I look forward to welcoming you in all seasons of experience and ability, and helping you explore your strength, honour your limits, and discover what movement can feel like when it’s grounded in compassion."
