CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER, NUTRITION COACH, WHEELCHAIR USER
Since 2014, I have been helping others become the best version of themselves! In 2018, a car crash left me paralyzed but that didn't stop me from pursuing my career goals. I now work with wheelchair users and non-disabled individuals. I want to help the wheelchair community get stronger, learn how to effectively work out in their wheelchairs, lose weight and be as independent as we can.

Everyone involved in planning, design, construction, maintenance and owning/operating a building with a bathroom needs this book. Although it was written with public and commercial washroom designs in mind, the information also applies to residential spaces. No matter what kind of bathroom you are building, it’s always easier to move a line on paper — before it is a permanent wall.
