CLIMBING PERFORMANCE AND STRENGTH COACH

It has been said more than once that there’s always a story behind those drawn to helping others, and I am no exception

I work with climbers and athletes at every level, from recreational athletes building strength and resilience to elite competitors performing at the highest level.

With over 15 years of coaching experience, a background in Sports Science and Strength & Conditioning, and two decades as an athlete myself, I bring an evidence based and highly individual approach to performance.

My coaching goes beyond simply getting stronger. I help athletes move better, build resilient bodies, manage training load, overcome limitations and injuries, and develop the physical foundations they need to perform and keep performing for the long term.

Testimonials

  • Sarah

    “Investing in a tailored training program helped me progress further than I could have on my own in the 7 years I have been climbing. Not only did my physical progression increase but my mental fortitude and confidence on the wall benefited greatly. Having Medi’s support through it all is truly immeasurable.

    Medi went through every exercise with me in person and assisted my form, was available to contact for any uncertainty in technique and niggling discomfort, would make adjustments to exercises where necessary, and above all, provided emotional support when pushing through on my own was hard.

    I wouldn’t know that I was capable of it wasn’t for Medi’s encouragement and guidance.”

  • Amanda

    “I had a personalized training plan created by Medi to help boost my longevity and injury resistance as a climber and route setter. Not only did it keep me motivated to stay consistent, but I also learned a lot about different training methods and rehab techniques that I can rely on long-term.

    Medi checks in with you every week and adjusts the plan based on your progress and any injuries or limitations, making it super tailored to your needs. Having something so specific to my goals has been a game-changer. It has completely shifted my approach to training.”

  • Kate

    “I initially reached out to Medi in search of support to overcome an ACL injury that I was struggling to fully recover from for years. Training with Medi not only helped me with this injury, but also improved my mental health and overall wellbeing.

    Medi was able to accommodate for me living in a different state by creating an online training program that was comprehensive yet flexible, and she was always available for support and guidance.

    Medi is an incredibly caring, strong and understanding person, and these attributes translate into a exceptional coach. I would highly recommend training with Medi!”

  • Meike

    “Coming from a climbing background and trying to get in shape for something I had never done before - mountaineering - was really daunting. I needed a training program that was tailored to my needs.

    Medi was the perfect coach for that. She designed a training program for me that was building up towards my event, incorporating a lot of elements that were needed in my adventures but also were already part of my day-to-day training. It felt really hands-on and if she was part of my journey too. If there was something specific I wanted to train, she incorporated that too. It also helped that she knew what mountaineering sport I was going to do and what goals I had.”

  • Brady

    “From struggling to do a squat to hiking over 20 kilometers through Patagonia with more than 1,000 meters of elevation gain, my journey with Medi has been truly life-changing.

    After a major meniscus repair in one knee and a history of trauma and meniscus removal in the other, I had spent years dealing with pain and limitations. Thanks to Medi’s incredible knowledge, holistic approach, and unwavering support, my knee health is now better than it has been in years.

    Her expertise in body mechanics is outstanding, but what truly sets her apart is the way she creates a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel safe and empowered. She is deeply committed to helping people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident—not just physically, but mentally as well. Medi is a true gift to this profession, and I am beyond grateful for everything she has done to support me in my rehabilitation journey.”

  • Kate

    “Working with Medi is always an awesome experience. I came to Medi looking to improve my fitness and get motivated, but I gained so much more. Medi doesn't just focus on reps and sets; She crafted a personalized program that challenged me physically, but also incorporated guidance on nutrition, mindfulness, rest, and sleep which was super helpful!

    She listens and adapts the program to make sure it’s going to be not only achievable but also a program that you want to do and gets you results.

    I cannot recommend working with Medi enough!”

  • Bryn

    “Medi’s honest yet gentle approach in her coaching enabled me to make the lifestyle changes required to significantly enhance my physical climbing ability. Sleeping better, eating better, and climbing better has thoroughly enriched my climbing experience and life in general.
    I've gained lots of knowledge on how to train, set goals, and stay consistent, I highly recommend her if you're looking to invest in your fitness goals.”

  • Steve

    “Before starting with Medi I had never set foot in a weights gym. Her patience and personalised plan allowed me to gain confidence in my technique and understanding of how to push myself to achieve better fitness for everyday life.

    Medi's ability to simplify technique and provide a supportive and fun environment for training has given me the tools to take control of my own training and make it a part of my life.”

  • Lewis

    “Having Medi’s coaching and guidance has helped me a lot in my climbing journey! A major benefit of training with her was that she increased my ability to climb and train which was beyond my beliefs about my capabilities. The climbing and training routine she created for me was really enjoyable and I got to climb a lot as well as see my finger and overall strength improving.”

Climbing performance coaching

Hit a plateau or unsure what’s holding your climbing back? Climbing performance is about far more than strength it’s the combination of physical capacity, movement efficiency, technique, strategy, and confidence.

Through movement analysis, climbing specific assessments and individualised coaching, I identify where your biggest opportunities for improvement lie and build a targeted approach around them. Whether you’re working towards your next outdoor project or preparing for competition, coaching is tailored to help you climb stronger, move better and perform when it matters.

Strength and conditioning coaching

I begin with a comprehensive assessment of your movement, strength, mobility and individual needs. From there, I design a tailored training block based on your goals whether you’re managing or returning from an injury, building resilience to reduce injury risk, improving general strength, or developing sport-specific performance for climbing or powerlifting.

As you progress, I adjust your program to ensure every session has a clear purpose and continues moving you toward sustainable, long term results.

Remote coaching

Personalised training, ongoing support and structured progression wherever you train.

Following an initial consultation and assessment, I create a tailored program based on your goals, training environment and individual needs. Your program is delivered through an easy to use coaching app, where you can access your sessions, track progress, record wellness and upload videos for technique feedback.

I review and update your program weekly, allowing your training to evolve with your progress, recovery and changing needs.

Start with a 12 week coaching block, with the option to continue for ongoing support and progression.
