She loves to figure out different ways of explaining skills to connect with all learning styles! As an instructor, Audrey cares about her client’s goals and knows that technique is not all: “I like to understand where my clients are coming from and see how I can help them overcome their fears, do a feature, or ride a specific trail they didn’t think they could ride.”

Dayna began coaching with Shred Sisters in 2020, but she’s no newbie when it comes to teaching. With several years of instructing experience ranging from Hapkido (she’s a black belt!) to spin to weightlifting and even boot camp, she’s definitely got a ton of experience.
Erin started mountain biking in 2019 for a girls’ trip and discovered her love for trails. She has been coaching since 2022 and likes to blend fun with pushing limits. Croatia is her dream biking destination and her favourite trailside snack Hornby Bars. Erin believes in trying, trusting, and always having fun on two wheels!
Calgary & Bragg Creek Coach
From road biking to dirt biking, Erin loved biking of all types–except downhill. She had a fear of downhill riding. However, taking a women’s focused mountain biking course changed her direction, built her confidence, and developed a love for the sport. The energy and feeling one gets from clearing a tricky section, the high fives at the bottom of the run, and of course the cold beers shared in the parking lot are just a few of the reasons that Erin loves the sport. With a background in coaching women’s soccer, coaching mountain biking is new to Erin and she is extremely excited to be joining the Shred Sisters team in Calgary. Come “SEND IT” with her this season!
Canmore Coach
A long time coach with a lot of noteworthy qualifications, Canmore coach Jessica Bush fell in love with mountain biking while overseas in New Zealand. A calculated rider Jessica focuses on progressing by building skills in order to hit that next level rather than just throwing caution to the wind.

Coach in Canmore
Many of our coaches are interdisciplinary—Nicole is no exception. Having spent a lot of her youth focused on competitive cross-country skiing, Nicole wasn’t necessarily looking to expand her focus to other sports. However, a friend of hers who competed in mountain biking struck up a deal with her: he would try skiing if she tried mountain biking. Although it was not her first time on a mountain bike and she had a general idea from cross-training with the ski team in the summer, she had never really given mountain biking her full attention or effort. After that fateful summer where she changed her tune with the coaxing of her friend, she was hooked.
Coach in Revelstoke
Originally starting riding back in Kamloops, Robyn has now found herself in Revelstoke happily embedded in the incredible community of committed female riders. She is a composed rider who loves to focus on the opportunity for consistent improvement and skills development, which makes her an excellent coach. Beyond mountain biking, Robyn also coaches rock climbing, ice climbing, and canoeing. She is also the co-founder of Revelstoke Women’s Enduro. Get ready, this self-proclaimed queen of the dad-joke is ready to have you laughing while you’re learning and we at Shred Sisters are excited to have her on the team.
Sarah is a passionate mountain bike instructor based in Calgary, AB, who loves helping riders build confidence and skills on the trails.

When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her riding Loamzilla, her favorite local trail, or dreaming about her next big MTB adventure. 🚵♀️💥
Coach in Bragg Creek, Calgary, Chestermere & Crowsnest Pass
Suzanne’s approach to coaching is to teach her fellow female riders that it’s okay to be afraid and that failure is a natural part of learning and developing in any sport. She teaches her students not only how to technically approach a challenge but also mentally. She teaches her students how to visualize their line, approach challenges with positive thinking, and to never stop practicing.

Maggie, our instructor was so clear and supportive in all of her instructions and I so appreciated her ability to customize the experience to the individuals in our group.
We practiced drops, jumps, turns, and climbs, and I know our entire group left feeling so much more confident in our riding skills. If you are wanting to improve your mountain biking riding and skills, I highly recommend Shred Sisters!
Audrey expertly led us (3 women all fairly new to fat biking) through a series of skills along trails that gave us opportunities to practice each skill and incorporate all her pro tips along the way. Fun, encouraging, and empowering. A great day out in the cold, embracing winter on bikes. Yay!
Lindsay, our instructor, was an amazing coach and super fun! She immediately made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The course was exactly what I needed and more! I already feel more confident and comfortable while riding. I highly recommend Shred Sisters for taking your riding skills, wherever your are, to the next level!
Focused learning sessions with ample time to practice.
No pressure to do anything one is not ready for.
But those nerves were quickly put to rest.
Laura was a super fun, and skilled instructor who was always so encouraging and positive.
The skills, knowledge and most importantly, confidence that I gained during the course has been invaluable. Every class was something new, complete with new challenges and new things to conquer. And conquer we did!
I came away with new skills, a whole lot more confidence and a group of new friends! Highly recommend.



I would ABSOLUTELY sign up for another course through Shred Sisters. The group dynamic and overall fun atmosphere of learning with women was incredibly empowering! So happy I joined this biking community and that I was able to learn from Shred Sisters talented & knowledgeable instructors.
