My journey in Nordic walking began approximately ten years ago in Latvia, following an active period in sports and a desire to find a sustainable, effective form of physical activity.
I was seeking a discipline that would engage multiple muscle groups, support both physical and emotional well-being, and remain accessible without significant financial investment. At the same time, it was important for me to be involved in a structured activity where progress could be measured, analyzed, and continuously improved.
Nordic walking proved to be the ideal solution.
I began by attending guided training sessions under the supervision of a professional coach, where I developed proper technique and gained a deeper understanding of the sport. Alongside regular training, I actively participated in competitions, which allowed me to track my development and refine my skills.
Over time, I achieved noticeable improvements in posture, overall physical fitness, and endurance, while also experiencing the positive impact on mental balance and well-being.
As my experience grew, so did my motivation to share this knowledge and inspire others.
This led me to pursue professional education and become a certified Nordic walking trainer. Today, I work with individuals and groups, delivering structured training sessions focused on correct technique, functional movement, and long-term health benefits.
My approach emphasizes accessibility and sustainability, ensuring that Nordic walking can be adapted to different fitness levels, ages, and goals.
In parallel with coaching, I am committed to promoting Nordic walking as a valuable and versatile activity that contributes to overall health, community engagement, and active lifestyle development. Through my work, I aim to educate, motivate, and support people in building lasting healthy habits.
My goal is to continue developing high-quality training programs, sharing knowledge, and contributing to the growth and recognition of Nordic walking at both local and international levels.
