Training for body & mind.

Because I love to connect people with empowering ideas and skills so they can feel grounded, confident, and capable!

I don't believe in fitness solely for its own sake, but rather as a way for us to more thoroughly enjoy everything that happens outside of the gym.

For me, working out has been a helpful tool that has allowed me to take better advantage of everything in my life, from my work to personal relationships to my favourite activities and most important life goals.

If all you want is six-pack abs, I may not be your person. But if you want to improve your physical AND mental well-being, I'd love to work with you!

I work with the body, instead of fighting against it!

Your goals may include losing weight, gaining muscle, getting stronger, becoming more flexible, improving balance, or healing pain and injuries.

You may want more self-confidence, better  energy, to relieve stress, to sleep better, to feel at-home in your body, to feel sexy, or to age well.

All of these things can be achieved by learning how to listen to what the body needs in order to make these goals happen, instead of just demanding that it change and getting frustrated when it doesn't happen the way you want.

This isn't just some hippy-dippy philosophy, this is the reality that the flashier sides of the fitness industry tend to ignore, causing a lot of injuries and dysfunction.

We all have an inherent mind/body connection, and through working out we can strengthen that connection and unleash our full potential, no matter what that looks like for you!

•  Building a strong foundation and understanding the 7 Primal Movements (they're like the primary colours for painting - they make up every exercise you'll ever do!)

• Progressive Adaptation - gradually layering on successes instead of going all-or-nothing and getting overwhelmed or injured.

• Accountability - advance scheduling to keep you on track and weekly check-ins to stay on track and make sure we're doing the right things!

• Customized workout plans that suit YOUR body and goals.

• Coaching that challenges you to grow with some tough-love while staying respectful of boundaries.

• Mindfulness training that helps you find your motivation and keep it going strong!

• Bonuses like random facts and terrible puns. ;)

I never weigh my clients, or take their measurements. (Unless you need help buying clothes online!) 

The reason for this is: far too many times we start feeling stronger and more confident and generally healthier, then the scale or tape measure doesn't show numbers that we expect to see, and we allow the arbitrary measurement to destroy the good feelings that we were actually experiencing.
