With a passion for helping individuals achieve their personal best, Anneke brings a wealth of experience from the world of high-performance sport to her role at Tall Tree.

As a physiologist, Anneke has worked with Canada’s national rowing team, providing testing, training, and strategies for heat and hydration to optimize performance at international regattas. She has also supported the development of cross-country ski athletes, focusing on assessing individual strengths and weaknesses to foster growth and build stronger teams.

At Tall Tree, Anneke leads the Performance Testing department, managing VO2 max testing, DEXA scans, and lactate testing. She ensures protocols are evidence-based, tests are valid and reliable, and clients receive clear and meaningful interpretations of their results.

When she’s not in the clinic, Anneke can be found exploring the outdoors. She enjoys running, hiking, biking, and skiing on the trails of Mt. Tzouhalem or in the wilderness of Strathcona Park.
