Laelia Douglas-Brown

Laelia has been developing her climbing skills indoors, outdoors, on the competition scene, & overseas for a little over 20 years.

Laelia promotes climbing as an active meditation: the better you get, the more you feel like you have lots to learn!
Her short courses focus on foundations of movement and strength; giving you the tools to feel comfortable in getting started, building power, breaking down movements & understanding how to approach problem-solving when things are particularly challenging.

Laelia has worked with kids & adults, in coaching, mentoring and teaching beginner through to emerging climbers for about 15 yrs.
