Adaptive Para snowboarding
Focusing on your ability not your disability; I work with what you CAN do, by adapting my teaching techniques, styles and equipment to find a solution unique to each persons needs.
Learning snowboarding is all about solving problems, and adaptive snowboarding is no different… just the problems to solve are a little bigger. There’s always lots of laughs, and I will admit to scratching my head at times on the road to finding sustainable, safe solutions for progressive improvement and performance development.
What's on offer...
Catering for people with physical disabilities, medical conditions, hearing and visual impairments, and learning or behavioural challenges; snowboarding is possible for everyone to experience mountain healing.
I offer 1:1 private coaching sessions for Adaptive Snowboarders in Tignes, France and long term coaching for athletes. Also, online sessions pre snowboarding to familiarise you with the concepts, educate by covering some of the theory and manage expectations to reduce risk of surprises.
Lesson durations are individual to personal requirements, depending on your condition and current fitness levels. Individual needs will be assessed prior to arrival to ensure that the equipment is appropriate. Specific snowboard Adaptive equipment can be supplied.
All sessions are pre-planned, although sometimes things don’t go to plan, always are safe and enjoyable. Every session is remarkable and a memorable experience for both student and myself.
For every BODY!

What people say?
My husband was previously a skier but following two strokes and a compressed spinal chord due to an accident he was unable to continue skiing. Renelle came highly recommend to us who had specialty in disabilities. She took time to understand my husbands disability and ability, she worked tirelessly and patiently with him slowly to build his confidence. I cannot recommend her enough to instruct both able bodied and disabled people, young and old. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my husband the confidence to do it.

I have been snowboarding for 17 years, with instruction every year, and this is the first time that it has all made sense! Renelle is an amazing instructor. She worked on every aspect with me and game me lots to focus on for my days off from instruction so I could practice. Totally fabulous from a person with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hyper mobility syndrome).
