Hi, I’m Katherine!

I coach because I love trampoline and aerial silks, and I want to share that joy with others. OAA is a fun and inclusive space where everyone belongs, no matter whether they have been doing acrobatics for years or just started taking classes. I’m excited to be a part of the team creating such a safe and welcoming environment for people to learn and grow.

My favourite part about coaching is seeing the lightbulb moment when someone achieves a goal that they have been working towards, especially when they have enjoyed the process and had fun along the way. I also love teaching beginners and seeing their confidence grow with each class.

I started gymnastics lessons at age 3, and I loved to climb and bounce on everything! I started competitive rhythmic gymnastics when I was 8 and competed for 5 years before making the switch to dance and trampoline. I started coaching trampoline in 2009 and have loved it ever since. I got involved with aerial circus arts and flying trapeze during university as an athlete and coach, and I enjoyed combining my gymnastics and dance experience in a new area of acrobatics.

I like to do a little bit of everything – trampoline, tumbling, aerial, I’m all about having fun and learning new things! My super power is being able to find creative ways to teach skills and making learning fun.
