From the Summit to the Sea

Before taking my passion for coaching onto the water, my outdoor life was rooted in steep rock and ice. Between 2014 and 2016, I served as the Head Coach for the GB Paraclimbing Team, and in 2015, I helped lead the Eiger Paraclimbing Project into the Swiss Alps.

On paper, alpine climbing and sea kayaking might look like totally different worlds, but the core lessons are exactly the same: how we move, how we adapt, and how we stay calm when things get lively.

Movement That Works for You

Working with adaptive climbers taught me that there is no single right way to move. Everybody has a different build, different strengths, and different movement patterns. In sea kayaking, I do not believe in forcing people into rigid, textbook technique. Instead, we work together to find what feels natural and efficient for your body, helping you paddle further with less effort and less strain on your joints.

Real Confidence, Not Checklist Stress

Coaching team athletes showed me that real progress takes time, patience, and encouragement. Sea kayaking shouldn't be about rushing through high-stress assessment days or chasing badges. It is about having a supportive space to learn, build solid water confidence, and enjoy the journey at your own pace, no matter your age or starting point.

Keeping Your Cool on Dynamic Water

If there is one big thing the Eiger taught me, it is how to stay calm when the environment around you gets big and real. When you are out on the sea and the wind or waves pick up, you don't want to operate on panic. My goal as a coach and leader is to help you build that same quiet composure, so you can make smart decisions, feel in control, and fully enjoy the thrill of the ocean.
