Meet The Crew

Constance
Traynor

Founder/ Head Shred Spreader/ Ski Reviewer

Constance grew up spending most of her time indoors in a gym. From flipping her way through life as a high level competitive gymnast to now dropping in on big mountain lines. Constantly seeking a new challenges and thrills she quickly took to the mountains.

Learning to ski later on in life at the age of 29 she quickly gravitated towards finding more turns. Constance founded She-Shredz after finding skiing and realizing that there was not a central place for women to get trust worthy advice and information. After having an industry attempt to sell her the wrong gear time and time again, she took matters into her own hands.

An avid world traveler Constance enjoys exploring different cultures.

You can find her any day in the winter in Olympic Valley on KT-22 or Headwall dancing and singing to herself with every turn. When Constance isn't skiing she's the director of Acro at Heartbeat Dance Academy.

Favorite Ski Line: East Face, KT-22 / Hourglass, Headwall

Kerry Nolan PT, DPT, CWC, CPC

Physio Expert, Co-Founder: Ascent Tahoe Physical Therapy

Kerry Nolan earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Miami after receiving a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology from Penn State University. Since completing her education, Kerry's professional focus has been orthopedic and sports rehabilitation with certifications in weightlifting and powerlifting. Kerry's career in physical therapy was prompted after her own experiences with soccer-related injuries and surgery. Finding a love for strength training, due to both its physical and mental benefits, has inspired Kerry to share that passion with her clients regardless of age, gender, background, or experience.

Kerry's career has exposed her to all levels of athlete, from weekend warrior to professional level – but, no matter the client, her focus continues to be creating an alliance centered around each individual's personal goals and developing self-efficacy through exercise, strength, and education. Kerry enjoys blurring the line between rehab and performance training, and is passionate about eliminating stereotypes and empowering others to utilize strength training to benefit general health, confidence, athletic ability, mental toughness, and to create a life-long love for wellness.

Personally, Kerry enjoys powerlifting, soccer, skiing, hiking, paddleboarding, and/or doing anything and everything with her dog, Mick. If she is not participating in one of those activities.

Shawnee Wood PT, DPT, RYT

Physio Expert, Co-Founder: Ascent Tahoe Physical Therapy

Shawnee grew up in Lake Tahoe. She followed her passion out to Denver, Colorado to play four years of collegiate soccer at Regis University while achieving a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience. It was at Regis where Shawnee also earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and found her passion for rehabilitation back to performance of athletes.

Shawnee has a broad range of experience. She has been teaching yoga since 2013 at home and abroad and curiously views the body as a whole. Having spent time working under a Sports Specialist and being a competitive athlete herself, she focuses on returning athletes not only back to function but back to peak performance.

Shawnee integrates the nervous system into her scope of practice in all realms of healing and achieving goals. She loves treating all athletes inclusive of spinal cord injury. Shawnee spent six months interning at Craig Hospital focusing on Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation. She worked with individuals directly after injury with in-patient rehab and transitioned into week-long re-evaluations of individuals who were one year to forty-seven years post-injury.

Shawnee practices with evidence-based research to meet the needs of each individual. She has a passion to connect athletes of all levels back to their bodies to reach their goals before and after injury. She has a passion for strengthening the mind as well as the body to navigate athletes back to their true confidence in performing at their highest level.

Shawnee loves to travel the world but also enjoys everything her beautiful Tahoe home has to offer. She is an avid backcountry skier, enjoys long trail runs, rock climbing, mountain biking, playing soccer and plunging into high alpine lakes to cleanse the soul!
