about Paige
Originally from Kamloops, Paige grew up with a passion for sports and movement that has followed her throughout life. From playing competitive soccer through high school to hiking and running throughout the Okanagan she often finds herself outside. Paige has just recently finished her Bachelor of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia with a concentration in clinical exercise physiology, focusing on managing chronic disease with exercise.
During her degree Paige worked with a variety of clients, from people struggling with everyday aches and pains to working in a cardiac and pulmonary rehab centre, to working with kids getting into sports. But if you are ever to ask her, she would say her favourite part is hearing people’s stories and watching their confidence grow, getting to do things they never thought they could.
While having experienced many injuries and multiple concussions helped her gain a new perspective on being unable to participate in her everyday activities. She was drawn to the field when it was her little brother who went through physical therapy after being diagnosed with a rare genetic condition. From struggling to keep up with his siblings or play in more than one spot on the floor, to now climbing playgrounds and chasing geese in a park- Paige watched how much more his life opened up and how many more opportunities he was afforded in life because he could interact with it.
