Nikki Ottaway

Nikki is a Registered Kinesiologist and founder of Bridgewell Kinesiology. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from McMaster University and a Master of Science from the University of Guelph. Nikki has practiced since 2013 across community health, corporate wellness, multidisciplinary clinics, and private practice settings. Nikki works with a range of clients - from those returning to activity from injury or managing a chronic condition, to women seeking exercise guidance through pregnancy and postpartum, to individuals new to exercise or looking for more sustainable approach to movement and overall well-being. Her approach honours each person's story, values, and needs, with programming and education designed to cultivate confidence and sustainability. Nikki believes exercise *is* medicine and is for *everyone*. She also understands the many barriers that can make regular movement difficult. She meets people exactly where they are, cutting through overwhelm and confusion to provide clear direction, and personalized, evidence-based exercise prescription. Her aim is to help clients can successfully build habits, strength and capacity for life. Outside the gym or clinic, Nikki is thrilled to share her life with her fun-but-kind-of-nerdy, husband and three beautiful daughters. You'll find the Ottaways playing tennis, coaching/playing soccer games, eating tacos, watching the Chiefs, Blackhawks and Raptors, or 'relax-ercising' outdoors!
