I help active women who used to enjoy exercising but trauma changed their narrative, such as a damaging experience with a previous personal trainer, getting injured by overtraining, or losing muscle activation and sensory skills. My top priority is to make my clients feel heard, safe and empowered by their own choices while we work collectively as a team. I use the corrective exercise curriculum as well. Located in Vancouver, BC, Canada Offering in-person and virtual training sessions.
