Strong looks different for everybody

Being human comes with a simple universal prescription for your overall vitality and longevity: 

Muscle = Medicine. This is true for everyone, but especially for women over 40 who grew up with a different type of "body fashion" and a different mindset around what fitness looks like. 

Doctors have started to prescribe strength training, but a lot of people don't know where to start and how to keep going. They are afraid to hurt themselves, protective of old injuries/surgeries, and feel self-conscious in a gym. 

And sometimes it is hard to motivate yourself. Especially when you feel a pebble (or even a rock) in your shoe from injury, surgery, pain, illness, chronic stress, fear of falling, overweight, fatigue, depression, or major life changes. 

Are you looking for a compassionate, well-rounded trainer/coach? Do you prefer to train in-person, rather than through a virtual program? I’ll design a structured movement program with you, and will guide you to - safely - learn new skills. You can count on me to cheer you on and to challenge you!
