P3 Kinesiology

I moved to Courtenay, BC on Vancouver Island in 2020 and was excited at the opportunity I had to build my own studio at home in a shop on our property. I called in P3 Kinesiology, because I wanted it to be about an idea rather than just me as an individual. 3 words have come to be very important in the way I help people with movement and health & wellness.

1) Purpose

I believe that the path to self growth starts with a reflection of your ideal self and life. Our purpose is not one thing, but how we want to look, feel, act and how we want the experience of our life to grow or change.

2) Practice

Purpose can only take shape when you integrate an action or practice into your life which is aligned with the person you want to become and the life you want to lead.

3) Perspective

First we reflect on Purpose and then we assess and plan for a Practice but the ongoing process requires us to build systems and/or frameworks to help remind, schedule, track progress and adapt and adjust our plans. I strive to help people learn, grow and change the way their bodies feel and move, but ideally also they way they think and their level of self awareness.

AIMS Goal Setting: Set a clear target, take a shot + repeat.

I use a goal setting framework I call AIMS to help clients work through this process and help them to build a process for themselves that they can repeat forever. Ideally 1/month you reflect on your goals for your life and find an action you can take now on the journey towards that ideal.

Make the action SMART (Specfic+Measureable+Attainable+Relevant+Time Bound), by using the headings below to clarify the details of what you will commit to integrating into your life and routine.

Actions: Practices + Things you will do (Stretch, Massage & Move)

Intentions: Ideal Outcomes, Results, Behaviours (Improved mobility in…, be able to touch toes or do a single leg squat)

Motivations: Identity, Character, Experience, Meaning (Lift, play and hold my grandkids, feel confidence in body, etc)

Systems: Tools & Strategies (Plan, Organize, Schedule, Track, Remind, Assess + Support)
