About Coach Nic

My goal is simple: Help you move better, live longer, and stay independent.

Why I do this

For 27 years hockey was my entire identity. Team Canada. Pro level. Everything I had. Then one concussion changed everything. The chronic pain that followed was debilitating. It stripped me of my sport, my identity and nearly my life. I had to rebuild from scratch — mentally and physically.

But that experience gave me something no certification ever could. I know exactly what it feels like when your body becomes a prison. And I know the way out. I'm also 1.5 years into my transition as a trans man — and that journey has taught me even more about identity, resilience and what it truly means to live authentically in your body.I show up for my clients the way I wish someone had shown up for me.

What Drives Me

My Core Values Everything I do as a coach is built on three foundational pillars:

Client-centered excellence through follow-up and follow-through.

You are never left in the dark. I am with you every step of the way because I know how isolating pain can feel.

Sweat the small stuff.

When it comes to rehabilitating movement and managing pain, the details matter. Specificity is everything.

Science meets heart & soul.

I combine evidence-based biomechanics with genuine empathy. Having been in the depths of chronic pain myself, I care deeply about your success and your ability to live a life free of limitations.

Why Coach Nic?

I'm here to help you rebuild your foundation so you can
reclaim your movement and your life.

If you are dealing with chronic pain, you already know that pushing harder isn't the answer. You also know that chasing passive fixes, like pills or constant adjustments, only manages the symptoms without solving the root cause.You don't need someone to do the work for you; you need an intelligent strategy that teaches you how to heal yourself.

Through the 12 Milestones of Independence, I offer a step-by-step mentorship. We will rebuild your foundation from the ground up, giving you the tools to reclaim your movement, your identity, and your independence.
