"I recently took a skate ski lesson with Emanuela. I must say I was very impressed. I had taken a lesson previously that focused on the basic of basics. I found Em's layout of the lesson to flow very well starting with some drills, progressing to V1, V2, Free skate technique, offest both sides up hills and proper cornering. I liked that it was interactive in that she took me out on the trails, allowing me to practice in a real life situation where the trails are not uniform as opposed to flat track in stadium. She has a real knack for being able to discern what kind of learner you are (visual, auditory, mixture) and teach to that ensuring you get the best result possible. The follow up email including video's of our sessions, and where I need to work on were invaluable and the correct technique videos were very helpful also in visualizing what the gold standard is. I learned ALOT about weight transfer and using my arms correctly! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!" 

“Emanuela is a fantastic teacher and coach. She has a great ability to break down technical information in an easy to understand and relatable manner. She's able to quickly spot and correct technique errors by providing tips and examples that you're able to easily grasp. I felt noticeable improvements during the clinic and look forward to taking another!"

“Emanuela is a knowledgeable, patient, and effective coach. She had a plan prepared for our session, and led us through a progression of drills and exercises to increase our skills and confidence. Her energy and passion for helping people enjoy outdoor activities is infectious and it made for a very fun lesson. I would highly recommend Emanuela as a coach!”

“I wouldn’t be out hitting the Okanagan trails on my mountain bike if it wasn’t for you Emanuela! Your passion and enthusiasm for the sports are contagious and invaluable.”

"I learned so much in my recent XC classic ski lesson with Emanuela. And because the lesson was on a real trail, I could practice the drills and techniques on an actual XC ski trail. Consequently I could feel and see my technique improve almost immediately. I thoroughly enjoyed her communication style, she has this ability to hone in on what style of learning works best for you. I highly recommend Emanuela".

"I very much enjoyed your skate-skiing lesson last weekend. I think you are a very good coach - which has as much to do with personal interaction and an outlook geared towards fun, as it does technical ability. I also appreciated the fact that you kept us moving for most of the lesson, and didn't just stand around talking at us, as some coaches seem to do." 

“Thank you again for an amazing day!  I took away some major game-changers  and had such a blast. You are an awesome coach! I can’t wait to do more clinics with you.”
