Athletic Journey

Heidi's journey into the world of movement began with her specialization in Classical Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Contemporary dance styles. Her dedication and talent in dance led her to perform with one of Calgary’s premier Contemporary youth companies for eight years, compete in the prestigious Genée International Ballet Competition in London, and further her studies with the Goh Ballet Youth Performance Company in Vancouver. These experiences allowed her to grace stages as far as the Beijing Arts Festival and to perform in renowned ballets. Upon her return to Calgary, Heidi joined the O2 Contemporary Pre-Professional Company and later became a company dancer for Corps Bara Dance Theatre, participating in significant productions. Alongside her passion for dance, Heidi has always maintained a keen interest in sports and physical activities, highlighting her versatile athletic background.

Educational Pathway

Following an illustrious dance education, Heidi's interest pivoted towards enhancing human performance and extending dancers' careers. This led her to pursue and complete a Bachelor's Degree in Health and Physical Education, with a major in Physical Literacy at Mount Royal University. She is on her path to achieving the Professional Kinesiologist (PKin) designation and becoming a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), underscoring her commitment to health and fitness.

Heidi believes in the boundless potential within each individual. "We train towards what we believe we can achieve," she asserts, encouraging never to define limits by present capabilities but to believe wholeheartedly in the untapped potential.
