“

I am an experienced instructor with many years of teaching in various roles. My background includes working as a Health Care Aide (HCA) and over 20 years in the transportation industry, where I served as a bus driving instructor and specialized in safety and compliance.

Now, I’m excited to embark on this new chapter as a First Aid Instructor. Teaching allows me to share my knowledge, support others in their learning journey, and continue growing alongside my students. My goal is to make every class engaging, practical, and empowering so that each learner leaves with the skills and confidence to respond when it matters most.

Robert K.

I am honoured to teach what I believe are two of life’s most important skills: First Aid and Yoga. Both practices are rooted in awareness, compassion, and presence—and I bring these qualities into every class I teach.

With a background in lifesaving instruction and holistic wellness, I make First Aid training engaging, memorable, and practical. I believe that in a world full of people, we have a shared responsibility to look out for one another. Emergencies may be rare, but being ready for them can make all the difference—and I’m here to help you be prepared.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or taking a recertification, my goal is to make sure you feel confident and capable by the end of our time together. When you leave my class, you’ll not only have a certificate—you’ll have the knowledge and mindset to save a life.
