20+ Years Experience. Turn anxiety into precision in one session.
My Approach
As a British Canoeing qualified coach, I believe in patient, progressive instruction that builds confidence alongside skills. Every paddler learns differently, and I adapt my teaching style to help you achieve your goals safely and enjoyably.
Safety is always the top priority. We'll work within your comfort zone while gradually expanding it, ensuring you develop good habits and decision-making skills that will serve you well on any river.

Why FlowSt8?
I am a British Canoeing certified Advanced Whitewater Coach & Leader with over 20 years of experience on the river and 4 years of professional coaching.
Most coaching focuses only on the blade. I focus on the pilot. By combining elite technical instruction with flow state psychology, I help you build the mental resilience to match your physical skills.
Technical Mastery
Advanced British Canoeing standards to refine your boof, edging, and line choice.
Flow State Mindset
Proven psychological tools to silence fear and access peak performance on demand.
