Miranda Morrison

Miranda received her B.Sc. in Kinesiology in 2002 and also has Nutrition Certification.  She is a former varsity soccer player for Simon Fraser University, winning a National championship, and then playing elite soccer for the Vancouver Angels, the first women’s Vancouver semi-pro team.

 

By improving overall body awareness, Miranda feels that anyone can train to be more active, to move better and to engage in improved fitness and function and build the healthy habits to remain fit. Everyone has the potential to be their own athlete, to function independently, to become stronger and fitter--which almost always equates to a better, more fulfilling and happier life.
