Sarah McGill

Sarah McGill is a McGill Method Certified Practitioner and NASM Certified Personal Trainer based in Collingwood, Ontario. She is President and CEO of Backfitpro Inc. and works with people living with low back pain, using assessment, movement coaching and therapeutic exercise. She says everything she coaches is rooted in science and tailored to the person in front of her.

Her father, Professor Stuart McGill, is a world-renowned spine expert. She grew up seeing people get out of pain and live better lives through his work, and it inspired her own career. She is passionate about healthy living, getting outside and connecting with her community.

Mind, body and spirit are a priority in how she approaches wellbeing. She became a Certified Breath Coach and a Certified Reiki Practitioner to offer a more holistic approach, and she uses those tools to guide restorative sessions that balance the mind, body and energy field. In her training, breath, visualization and physical rest help the body adapt and become resilient to pain.

On Insight Timer she shares calming guided practices rooted in breathwork, visualization and energy balancing, intended to relax the nervous system. She works with individuals and leads workshops, both virtually and in person. Her credentials also include a Bachelor of Commerce degree.
