YOUR DREAM
WHO AM I?
Hi! My name is Margot and I offer personal training and coaching services. In 2011 I discovered the young and emerging sport of roller derby. I was smitten and eventually went on to compete at its top level in Finland. Through playing the sport I started paying close attention to my lifestyle and physical preparation, all the while noticing the psychological impact sports were having on me. Exercising and competing deeply changed my life for the better and gave me the passion to help others improve and reinvent themselves through physical activity and preparation. I have been living in Finland since 2014 and coach in person primarily in Helsinki or online.
MY APPROACH
I practice an athlete centered and autonomy supportive coaching. This means I put you at the center of every of my choices. Based on your needs, desires and circumstances I build a program and coaching style to help you develop and reach your goals. You are likely to spend more time on your own than with me, and so I aim to help you build the confidence and base knowledge to work independently.
I commit to regularly update my education and stay on top of scientific research relating to sport performance and physical health and activity. My coaching and programming methods are based on evidence, as well as the experience I continue to accrue every day I spent with athletes and clients.
​
I work in English or French and can support my coaching with basic Finnish.
