About me: I am a Doctor of Occupational Therapy specializing in pediatrics, focusing on how movement can positively impact children’s lives holistically. I published my doctoral thesis on this topic and have authored two books, The Movement Toolkit Part 1 and The Movement Toolkit Part 2, dedicated to improving physical literacy. These books feature over 100 movements with detailed guidance on how to coach and perform them, along with a workbook designed specifically for teachers to help get kids moving and learning simultaneously. I am also the author of a kids' book called "Becoming the Best Me" a story encouraging perseverance and knowing you are capable of amazing things if you work hard and try. I am also a CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff member and have been coaching children for over a decade across various settings. My mission is to help the next generation build essential skills, habits, routines, and a lifelong love for fitness. By fostering confidence in their ability to move, I aim to lay the groundwork for healthier lives that extend well into adulthood—a form of “preventative care” against chronic disease and the obesity epidemic facing today’s youth.If you have questions, suggestions for blog or podcast topics, or are interested in mentorship or program assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out! - Dr. Bre
