Trauma-Informed & Embodied Personal Training

builds a felt experience of safety, strength and agency.

This approach…

  • understands strength training and exercise as an avenue for physical and emotional capacity building

  • has core principles of consent and collaboration

  • Is informed by the psychology and neuroscience of how stress and trauma affects our body, nervous system, and our experience of both stillness and movement

  • focuses on the connection with the felt experience of being inside the body

  • aims to build senses of safety, strength, and agency by practicing presence and flexibility through consensual stress

This approach may be a good fit if you…

  • Want to explore strength training as healing

  • Are seeking somatic tools to feel more empowered through the day

  • Are looking for a practice to help you move through stress and impact of trauma, including compassion fatigue & secondary trauma

  • Experience resistance with traditional forms of exercise and training - and maybe find it overwhelming

What it is & can be

  • a therapeutic container to explore and change how your body carries your stories and adaptations

  • a practice focused on meeting the needs of your body

  • a way to nurture joy and aliveness!

What it is not

Clinical treatment or psychotherapy.

I encourage my clients to receive psychotherapy (as I do!) and welcome collaborations with mental health providers.
