A resident of Vancouver, B.C., Molendyk is a spiritual healer who has been practicing her unique brand of healing arts for 17 years.

  "Remember Jon Montgomery's amazing skeleton run at the 2010 Winter Olympics? The gold-medal performance followed a visit by the entire skeleton team to Sandra Molendyk (BA'02, GDBus'04) in Revelstoke, who calls herself a "sports shaman." They had their sleds blessed, built a totem pole, and discovered their individual spirit animal. Montgomery's is the turtle, and he proudly wore the symbol on his helmet and sled."
