Growing up as an athlete since the young age of 4, Michelle has always had a solid interest in fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. Growing up she participated in soccer, basketball, field hockey, volleyball, cross country, and track and field; going on to play soccer and basketball at an elite level.

Her journey to becoming a fitness specialist began after taking her first kinesiology class in college, which sprouted an interest in learning more about conditioning and rehabilitating the human body.

Her interest in taking her basketball career and education to a higher level lead her to the University of Winnipeg to play for the Lady Wesmen and pursue a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and Applied Health, majoring in Athletic Therapy.

She headed east after attending Kwantlen University College for two years, playing on the basketball team being awarded MVP honours both of these years. Through her education she was provided with multiple opportunities to work with athletes in numerous sports under the supervision of notarized professionals in the athletic therapy and strength and conditioning field. These opportunities provided the foundation for the experience and knowledge she gained and continues to gain in the field of health and fitness.

After graduating from the University of Winnipeg, Michelle returned to BC to begin her career in the ever growing fitness industry here in Vancouver. She earned the credentials of Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association in April of 2007, further establishing herself as a knowledgeable professional in the fitness industry. CORE Conditioning was created in September of 2007 and since has continued to grow and validate itself as a imminent force in the fitness community.
