MS ERIN - Yoga, Movement & Fitness Coach

Yoga, Movement & Fitness Coach

Hi, I’m Erin! 

Most people big and small call me Ms. Erin!

I’m a lifelong Sherwood Park girl, born and raised right here, and these days I’m raising my own family in one of Sherwood Park’s older neighbourhoods with my husband, our four kids, and our dog. Two of the kids are mine, two are bonus kids, although our oldest bonus kid has officially flown the coop and is off to university. Life is busy, loud, sometimes chaotic, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Movement has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up as a competitive dancer, and that love of movement eventually grew into a career. I earned my diploma as a Personal Fitness Trainer through NAIT, and I’ve spent years teaching yoga and Buti Yoga. I’ve also been teaching dance for over 10 years, working with dancers of all ages, although my heart has a pretty big soft spot for the preschool crowd.

These days, you’ll often find me doing CrossFit, teaching, dancing, stretching, or generally finding some excuse to move. Fitness and movement aren't just my work. They’re a huge part of how I take care of myself and stay grounded.

A few years ago, my son was diagnosed with ADHD. Not long after, I received my own diagnosis. Suddenly, a lot of things about how I had experienced the world started making a little more sense.

Growing up, I often felt like I was on the outside looking in. I felt different, like I didn’t quite fit the mould everyone else seemed to fit into. Looking back now, I understand myself in a completely different way.

Living this midlife ADHD adventure has definitely come with its challenges. But it has also given me a deeper understanding of myself, my family, and the many different ways people experience the world.

For me, health, fitness, and movement have always been my go-to tools for feeling good, finding balance, clearing my head, and reconnecting with myself.

I don’t believe movement needs to be perfect, serious, or intimidating. I believe it should make you feel more like yourself.

So whether you’re dancing, lifting, stretching, sweating, laughing, or simply figuring out where you fit in this wonderfully weird thing called life, I’m happy you’re here.
