Ayurveda is a 5,000 system of functional and lifestyle medicine rooted in consciousness - conscious connection to our body and the food we eat. We now know that good plays a big factor in our health, especially long term, and while we are unindated with the latest celebrity fad diets, quick weight loss gimmicks, these are quick fixes but they rarely lead to lasting change. In fact, most people regain their weight and often even more. Ayurveda lifestyle medicine offers wisdom that can inform how we think about ourselves, our body, our relationship to food, our daily habits and practices and our sleep.

When working with clients as n ISSA Certified Personal Trainer we like to do a complete intake and assessment to understand your struggles, where you are at in your journey, who is part of your care team, and make detailed recommendations to help make navigating the journey of recovery so much more supportive.

This might mean helping you make more mindful choices about nutrition, improving digestion so the body does not have to work so hard. We can also provide holistic sleep support so you have more energy and do not feel so drained, or guiding and coaching you to make positive behavior modification that have been shown to help rewire the brain so there is less and less dependency on sweets and salty foods and other foods and beverages that do not align with your health and wellness goals. We support you 1005 of the way!

At the root of personal training is a desire to change something about our body - too heavy, too thin, sculpting, improve heart health, improve cognitive health, etc.

Somatic awareness of ourselves is a nuance in self-connection that is rarely taught because most people do not know how to do it and it happens so quickly we need to learn to pay attention to it. We believe we feel something in our body even before our mind registers what it might be, and this is a catalyst for the "craving". We can guide you to listen to the body, feel safe and connected to your body and develop this somatic literacy to help make your brain and body work for you on your recovery journey.

We work with each client to understand how somatic therapy fits into your personal training and fitness goals and offer safe, trauma-informed, and compassionate spaces to explore their relationship to changing your health and how to stay regulated, on track, and celebrate your successes for your health and wellness goals.

Our brain plays a big role in how easy it is to both engage in personal training, set goals, and achieve those health and wellness goals. Through our understanding our neuroscience and brain health, we use a brain-based approach to coaching and mentoring clients in to understand and implement strategies to improve brain health so that you can feel more healthy, empowered, and committed to your personal training journey, stay on track, receive accountability and support, and celebrate your successes .

Energy Medicine comes in many forms and we offer sound healing, energy work like Reiki and Pranic healing, bodywork, breathwork and other modalities to help clients change their relationship to their body.

Sometimes this means creating safe, quiet, relaxing spaces where clients learn how to be calm and still in their body. This is especially helpful for people who may have carried too little or too much weight and feel a constant desire to change their physical body. Just for a moment we can learn to live and love the body we have now. Once we accept our body it is an amazing catalyst to change our body.

We educate clients on the energetic qualities of personal training and how this impacts goals, whether it is weight loss, weight gain, weight management, heart health, respiratory health, and more.

You can learn how to move stale, stuck, and negative energy from the body and to bring more balance back to the whole. It may also include "moving" the energy through integration and "digestion" of past experiences so we no longer have to hold them with such force.
