Meet Janie Sheppard.
Registered Kinesiologist (B.A Hons Kin, CSCS)
Kinesiologist | Strength Trainer | ELDOA Instructor | Runner |
I firmly believe that movement, sport and exercise are integral parts of a healthy and happy life. When I realized that I could study human movement and performance in school, my path towards becoming a Kinesiologist was set. When I can help others learn more about the way they move, and give them the potential to feel better; that’s where I find joy!
As a co-founder of The Runner’s Academy, I am excited everyday that we have been able to create a space for runners and any human who wants to overcome injury and improve performance!
When working with clients I rely on a mix of education, exercise therapy, ELDOA and mobility work to get them moving well. I am very passionate when it comes to working with clients who are new to working out or running. The strength and development that can happen in those early learning sessions are what I love to see happen!
Having navigated the pregnancy and postpartum experience a few times now, I thoroughly enjoy helping pregnant clients enjoy their best active pregnancy and help guide their return to running journey.
Outside of the clinic, I am wrangling and raising my 3 boys. Strength training and getting out for runs definitely helps me be a better mom and to keep up with the busy times. I am now building my own self back to road races and hopefully some soccer matches again soon!
