Pilates Challenge!

Hello!

Pilates Challenge

As many of you know I teach Pilates at Los Volcances Senior Center. It is a ton of fun to teach and I love growing and expanding my knowledge.

I have been teaching Pilates now for 8 years. I remember the first time I taught at Los Volcanes. I was so nervous. I rehearsed my class at least three times, and I was shaking when I taught it. Since starting teaching Pilates, I have become a certified Personal Trainer and taught at over 20 different studios all over Albuquerque.

I am so lucky that my journey has brought me here. Teaching Pilates is something I absolutely love. I love reading the room, and trying different things, I love the feedback from students. I love the joy when people get stronger, I love when students feel encouraged and healthier. I am so thankful for the friendships I have built.

I am an avid traveler and usually I take large chunks of the year visiting other places. This is hard to do when you teach a class and your income is tied to how often you teach, constantly missing means less students. I strive to always teach, regardless of my mood, or if I am having a bad day. Pilates always makes me feel better. So since I am going on a trip I have Pilates virtually for free for everyone!

If you have ever wanted to take my class or you’re interested in trying Pilates, I have you covered!

8 cards per sheet high quality!

When I was a kid I found one of my moms tarot decks and laid out all the cards. She got really upset I was messing with her stuff but I thought the cards were so beautiful, I wanted to look at them more but she wouldn’t let me touch them. So When I first bought my own Tarot deck when I was 20 I was so happy, I set out all the cards , every day and just loved them. Now I personally own almost 100 decks. I love them. I love to do readings. I love to sit with the cards. Tarot means so much to me personally. I love that each deck can speak to you in a different way. I set out to create my own tarot deck but put that project down at least 7 times as something “too difficult” well I finally created Painted Tarot which was my first Tarot Deck and funded on kickstarter, it was so freeing but I felt like I learned so much from the experience I wanted to create another deck. I created Cats in Space Tarot and was narrowly funded on kickstarter. I was told by so many people that projet was a good idea and I think it was too niche. But then doing some self healing I got really creative and made an oracle deck, Love Thy Self. Which was also funded on kickstarter. I wanted to come back to tarot and I wanted to create a tarot deck that was really for me. So I made this Deck, Black Cat Tarot. This is my 4th Deck that I have created and I am so proud of it. I have learned so much about myself, about tarot with each deck. This is definitely my best one yet. 

I hope that someone does a reading with my deck and they find some clarity and insight into themselves. I believe tarot is a very important tool. I really believe in tapping into your own knowledge and power. Cats are so wise, you hear of cats sitting on hospital beds before people die. Cats are mysterious and wise creatures and we can learn so much from them.  I connect with black cats so personally that thinking about them in tarot has deepened my practice. I connect with these kitties and I hope others do too. There’s a special deck for every person. and theres a deck that is an occasional use Deck. I think this deck can be both. For some people I hope its their go to, for others I hope they at least find entertainment in the cards. Maybe they will really connect with a card and my imagery can connect them more deeply with that cards meaning.  It is a deep deck in the sense that symbolism is important for each card, but also its just pretty adorable in fun. Things can be multidimensional and purpose can be determined by the user.  I hope my deck makes people happy. Like a fat purring kitty on your lap 🙂

Why did you choose black cats specifically rather than cats in general?

Oh great question! Ok so I started an LLC 3 years ago. I was talking to my mentor at the time and he told me I needed a name for my business that was loose, because I was offering: event planning, design and pilates, etc and I needed an umbrella term that I could mold to fit where my career path took me. He told me not to think inside of a box. I was going to call my business “Thea’s Event Planning”. He told me to go home and think about it, so I went home and I sat in my room and my black cat Boo came up to me and sat in my lap, as she does whenever she can. I wrote out hundred of names, starting with “Boo Works” (My cats name is Boo) And I decided to name my business Black Cat Consulting LLC, just generic enough that I can still teach pilates and sell tarot decks under one business name 🙂 Boo is my ever loving companion. I accidentally adopted her from animal humane. I went to look at the new facility they built here in Albuquerque and made the mistake of going into the Cat room. I had just been dumped and I was super sad. But I sat in that room and Boo marched right towards me and immediately showed me her belly and let me pick her up and it was love at first cuddle and I had to take her home. They were not sure if she was 4 or 5 and that was roughly 6 years ago. I am guessing she is 10. I adopted her on October 30th so I celebrate her birthday every year, she loves fish so i usually giver her a little tuna. She is my best friend. She has been with me thru major life changes, seven moves, several changes in careers, multiple breakups. She is always purring at my side. even right now shes sitting on my feet as cute as can be. I think it’s only fitting that my tarot deck is black cat tarot. PLUS I have already made a deck called cats in space tarot (which is way different, it has real cat pictures and pictures from NASA). Also There are some great cat decks out there. Weird cat Tarot is tons of fun. I wanted my deck to be different then those in terms of focus and art. I think theres plenty room for even more cat decks 🙂

Wellness Wednesdays 5 Ways to save your Mood During Finals!

Wellness for You!

I am right in the middle of finals and I feel myself not doing well with handling my mood. I just took my Chemistry Final. and What I prepared for it?

I felt burnt out and negative. I feel prepared on the concepts but I don’t have the confidence. I have been studying very hard and I just feel tired. I tried to review everything before the exam and get in a good head space, but I had a frustrating day yesterday. I went to the tutoring center and I had a terrible experience. Right before the exam. I was trying to work through all the homework I was struggling with, then I had a bad experience with a tudor. He was extremely condescending and it really crushed my confidence. I don’t know if it’s from being tired or burnt out but I scheduled my final for tuesday afternoon and monday night I couldn’t sleep. I was so nervous. I tried to prepare by planning my day. I teach Pilates at a senior center on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I felt good after teaching, the class was receptive to a new flow I tried and it’s good kara because my only goal is to help people feel good in their bodies. I went to campus after teaching and went straight to the library and started working on my page to use during the exam, then I went to the open lab for my anatomy class to review the forearm muscles before my final Thursday. But I couldn’t focus so I decided to go to tutoring center and bang out as many practice problems as I could. But then that experience in the tutoring center was so awful. I had a question from the homework. The question was “If 28.0% of a sample of gallium-66 decays in 4.46 hours, what is the half-life of this isotope (in hours)?” I couldn’t conceptualize how to start this problem because they usually give you the half life. I showed this problem to a tutor and he just started writing something out and went to hand me the answer, and I said that I wanted to see how you got to the answer, so I could solve it myself and I asked why he was writing that and he looked at me rolled his eyes and was like “ THIS IS CALLED ALGEBRA” and I was really taken a back. seriously? Everything is math, obviously, I am trying to understand how I answer this type of question, so I asked him to please not be condescending. And he got up and said something like “oh honey, maybe math is too hard for you” . I was very upset and i started crying. I still didn’t understand the problem and I was insulted for asking. I felt really defeated. I have done numerous half life problems in calculus, I just didn’t know what to do when they dont give you half life to start. After googling and asking for help from peers, I eventually found the answer. It’s 9.41 hours. But that whole interaction shook my confidence and wasted almost an hour. So I went into this exam pretty upset. I understand I am a young woman, but regardless of what I look like, I shouldn’t be treated with disrespect at my community college. He was so unnecessarily rude to me, there is no reason to treat me like an idiot, especially at the CNM tutoring center!! I wish I could say that this was the first time something like this has happened to me at CNM. It feels like people don’t want women in STEM and it is so frustrating. But for the material I felt ready to at least start solving anytype of problem I was asked. I went back through what I struggled with from the previous exams and realized I need to spend more time with Acid Base Equilibrium.

Anyway I wanted to share with you the ways that you can get in a better mood during finals.

First: Prioritize sleep!

Sleep is essential for maintaining good health and well-being, both physically and mentally. When we don’t get enough sleep, our mood is easily affected, which can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Getting enough sleep each night ensures that we wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. In addition to improving our mood, adequate sleep also helps our bodies repair themselves and can improve our overall health in the long run.

Sleep is important for maintaining good health, but it also plays a crucial role in academic success. As finals approach, it can be tempting to stay up late studying or cramming for exams, but sacrificing sleep is not worth the potential consequences. Research has shown that students who get enough sleep before an exam perform better than those who do not. So, if you want to improve your grades, it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep, especially during finals week.

Second Tip: Create a habit you associate with success!

Nerves can get the best of you and make you not very fun to be around. elevate your mood with grounding exercises that calm you down and ground you. Give yourself rituals. Your favorite coffee/drink from star bucks? A pep talk in the mirror? Give yourself a ritual and tell yourself every time you do it, you do well. There is a big component in getting good grades that includes BELIEVING you can do a good job and get a good grade. Often you hear people say, oh I just need a C. But shoot for that A, don’t doubt yourself! Starting each day with a positive mindset is essential to achieving success. One way to do this is by giving yourself a ritual – it could be as simple as making your favorite cup of coffee or reciting a pep talk in front of the mirror. In addition, it’s important to believe in yourself and your abilities. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can improve your chances of achieving your goals, including academic success.

Third Tip: Drink enough water!

Drinking enough water is important for our overall health and well-being. Our bodies are made up of about 60% water, and staying hydrated helps to regulate body temperature, transport nutrients and oxygen, and remove waste. In fact, even mild dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. That’s why it’s crucial to make a conscious effort to drink enough water throughout the day, whether it’s through plain water, herbal tea, or even some fruits and vegetables that have high water content.

Fourth Tip: Get the good snacks!

Have plenty to Eat! It is important to feed your brain when you study.

The breakfast should also be reasonably high carbohydrate, given that glucose (from carbohydrates) is the main fuel used by the brain. This could include foods such as breakfast cereals, toast and porridge. However, you may also want to think about adding in some protein as it helps us to feel fuller for longer.

If you are hungry you won’t have a great mood, this one is a super easy fix. It is like those eat a snickers commercials. Sometimes I just really need an oreo.

Fifth Tip: Get some Exercise

Working out can help your mind function, it can also get out some of those nerves so you preform better, Exercise will also boost your mood! If you are feeling anxious, try more strength or cardio, sometimes raising your heart rate can really help.

Conclusion:

Take care of yourself, finals season can be really difficult, but you got this. Try not to be too hard on yourself.

Remind yourself:

Continuing my studies has been a challenging journey, but I feel like I have finally reached a point where I can comprehend the material better. This exam, in particular, did not feel as daunting as the previous ones, and I am confident in the knowledge I have gained so far. Despite the extensive topics covered, I now have a better understanding of the subject as a whole, which is evident in my exam results. I clearly identified the areas where I lacked knowledge and made a conscious effort to improve on them.

What are your tips for keeping a good mood during finals? Anything you think I should add to this list?

Wellness Wednesdays

Recently I have been trying to down size. Downsize friendships, downside stuff, downsize spending, downsize social media use, downsize everything that doesn’t serve my mental health.

I have been struggling with my mental Health every since I can remeber. I have felt crazy, been told im crazy, diagnosed, misdignosed ect. I have been through quite a bit of trauama. I spent much of my 20s trying to pretent like I never had trauma. And trying to prevent it, made me have LOTS of it. I was really lost.

Honestly I have always been lost. Like there is something fundamentally wrong with me. I don’t think or feel the way that I am supposed to. It has caused a lot of pain and turmoil in my life. But, I have also learned a lot about myself and how to cope with these feelings over the years. I have always felt lost. Like somethings not right with me. I don’t think the way I am supposed to.

I have been working on getting better, though. I’ve started therapy, and although it’s been a roller coaster, it’s been helpful. I’ve also been reading and researching more about mental health to better understand my own struggles. One thing I’ve learned is that there is no “right” way to think or feel. I have been working on getting better and learning more about myself. It’s taken a lot of time and effort, but I’ve started to make progress. I’ve been through therapists, tried several with many different approaches. Like with most jobs, it has to be a good fit. I have been opening up about my struggles. I’ve also been practicing self-care and incorporating more positive habits into my daily routine.

I am feeling the most ok I have ever felt lately, and it’s an incredible feeling. It has taken a lot of hard work and self-reflection to get to this point, but I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made. I know that mental health is not a linear journey, and there will be ups and downs along the way, but right now, I’m enjoying this moment of calm. I’ve learned that it’s important to celebrate even the small victories, and this is definitely one of them.

I wanted to start a blog to share things I have learned about mental health and my personal journey. Writing has always been a therapeutic outlet for me, and I believe that by sharing my experiences, I can help others who may be going through similar struggles. Through this blog, I hope to create a safe and supportive community where we can all share our stories and learn from each other. Mental health is such an important topic, and it’s time to end the stigma surrounding it.

Taking care of our physical health is crucial for our mental wellbeing. Exercise has been proven to release endorphins, which help to reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet can greatly impact our mood and energy levels throughout the day. By incorporating positive habits into our daily routine, such as going for a walk or preparing a healthy meal, we are not only prioritizing our physical health but also improving our mental state.

I wanted to start a blog to share things I have learned about mental health and self-care. Through my own journey, I’ve discovered so many helpful tools and insights that have made a big difference in my life. I hope that by sharing my experiences and resources, I can help others who may be struggling with similar challenges. It’s important to me to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome to share their own stories and insights as well.

Spring is the perfect time to reset. We should be assessing our goals year round, but this is a great time to check in on where your plans are currently sitting. Are you happy with your life? I believe mental health and physical health are so closely linked. To often I meet people with such distorted views about their body and their appearance. Often we are so harsh and negative about ourselves.

One way to earn back our respect for ourselves is with exercise. Simple doing the difficult act of getting uncomfortable. That is truly what movement can be summed up as, its simply a practice of getting uncomfortable over and over again. I don’t believe exercise has to hurt or that you have to get supper sweaty. I have seen how Pilates can transform someone’s body and I want to help show you how much more you can love and a feel good in your body.

This 4 week challenge is everything you need to change your mindset. These workouts will be fun, there won’t be any need for endless cardio and restrictive dieting! We are going to Eat Clean.

Follow along Now!

Vegan Mardi Gras

Vegan Mardi Gras

From French, Mardi Gras directly translates to “Fat Tuesday.” And no, it doesn’t refer to eating as much as possible on that day (although that’s also definitely allowed). It actually refers to the Christian custom of eating all of the fats in the house before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent. The latter refers to the 40 days in the run-up to Easter, during which many Christians choose to give up luxuries, including certain foods. Today, however, Mardi Gras has become more of a celebratory occasion, particularly in New Orleans.

Mardi Gras is a religious holiday but I really like the colors. Yellow, purple, green. I went to 4 stores today trying to find a single Mardi Gras thing but they were all sold out. Instead I got a yellow Bell Pepper, and spinach and Red cabbage. Using veggies to find my colors! I also have food coloring from Whole foods and I am going to make a king cake!

My goal this year is to make every single holiday VEGAN! And I plan on sharing all my recipes with you!

Vegan recipes for mardi gras

  1. King cake
  2. Cajun dirty rice
  3. Red beans over white rice
  4. Jambalaya pasta

Mardi Gras Vegan! – more to come!

People can be weird about vegans. There was definitely an attempt for them to be labeled as “crazy” or “extreme”. But veganism is about wanting to reduce and eliminate the harm and suffering of animals. That’s not crazy. When you treat people with dignity nd respect, everything is better.

People aren’t always going to be friendly or welcoming towards the word VEGAN.

It’s hard going vegan and dealing with people reactions .Remember dealing with people who don’t like vegans, that you are perfectly in your right to declare a need for an ethical meal. IF they don;t respect that basic fact are they really family. I often get caught up in the fear of judgment about being vegan. But remember that the morality you feel matters much more. 

The best way to get people to trust in vegans is to provide access to yummy food. If people could see how tasty and easy it is to go vegan, I think we’d have a lot more vegans!

Bring new dishes and if you’re going to a group thanksgiving bring a side that won’t be competing with someones famous recipe.  In my experience, if there are two dishes that are the same, but one is vegan and the other is not, you might as well decorate your serving bowl with caution tape. A lot of people won’t be going past it. I’ve heard that children have to be introduced to a food 13 times before they try it. Sometimes I don’t think adults are that far off. People tend to gravitate towards what is familiar. If you give them the option of what they have always had or something new, most people will pick the former. If you just say, hey, it’s gravy, and there aren’t any classifications, people are more likely to just try it and like it. Also, in my experience people seem less hesitant about trying store-bought items. Maybe they already trust Trader Joe’s? Or the local take-out place already seen as legitimate? For whatever reason, I’ve found that if I bring a prepared item still in its container or takeout packaging, people are more willing to try it.

Why You Should Try an online course!

I have created a library of amazing virtual fitness and mindset courses and the number one question people ask me is how do I know if I am ready.

The thing about a good virtual course is you don’t have to be ready. I literally walk you through the steps and give you the tools so that you can start down a path towards a better mindset, a healthier body and give you actual tools to develop the habits you want.

Reasons you should start an online fitness course

  1. You want direction and a plan

Often there is so much information out there, actually boiling it down to what is the useful info and what isn’t is the key to success. You cannot do everything and the task of sifting through information can be exhausting. That is why I have done that for you.  You don’t have to question if things will be effective or spend time putting together a plan. All my courses have a plan with check boxes and easy to follow step by steps.

  1. You want change but you are busy

 Virtual course breaks it all down for you so you don’t have to waste any time you can get straight to the point. 

  1. You get support through the process

You are not alone! Mindset can be overwhelming to change, that is why I am here! I am along with you for the journey so you can ask questions and get the guidance you need while things feel tough

  1. Because you are worth it

Signing up for a course you are investing in yourself and investing in your improvement! You are saying YES to yourself in the most ultimate way. My virtual courses allow you a way to grow and question self assumptions and really start to live your best life. 

Why does it feel scary to start something new?

Often we are fearful of failing, of looking stupid, of getting judgment from others. But guess what? We are going to get that anyway!

Or maybe we are scared of the success, if I get 1000 followers on YouTube, that many people will engage with me and what if they don;t like me?! Success can feel intimidating.

So we don’t start new things and we get stuck in our ways and unhappy with where we are at.

Growth requires change and it often requires trying new things.

You deserve a body that you feel good in.

You shouldn’t have to worry about pain or pulling your shoulder out.

Movement can be hard to find because of fear, disinterest and laziness.

I get it, motivation is hard to find most days.

But thats why you hire a personal trainer.

You make a commitment to yourself, most of my clients I see 2 or 3 times a week and for that half hour, or that hour. I am their motivation.

I design workouts to make your body feel good.

It’s not about pushing and doing the hardest workout.

It’s about connecting and moving with your body.

And you can do this at home with no equipment, just a screen and me.

Look I get it, there are a lot of BAD personal trainers out there.

I am not a newbie or someone desperate for clients. I genuinely want to help YOU feel good.

But if your not ready to start, keep scrolling.

If you are ready but you don’t know how to start, lets try one session.

Even if you have had bad experiences with trainers before, I want you to know I am different.

I am like a brainy carebear.

I pride myself in providing valuable and knowledgeable fitness information.

I want you to FEEL good in your body, not chase fad diets. This isn’t quick results.

This is manifesting lifelong changes that promote your HEALTH, and make you LIVE LONGER.

It’s literally proved with science. Movement is health.

Health is complicated and it looks different on everyone.

I am not a NO PAIN NO GAIN trainer. Actually if a movement hurts you, we aren’t going to do that movement.

I want to show you how to move in your current range of motion in a safe way.

That doesn’t mean I am not going to push you. Make you stronger and push your limits.

We can crush all your goals this year.

Every body is different. Yours is so unique, you don’t need some cookie cutter workout copy and pasted off the internet.

You need a workout designed for how YOU move.

This is where I come in.

I am going to create exercises for your to sleep better, feel better and have more energy.

Whether your fear is from past injury, a bad gym experience or just fear.

Don’t worry the care bear is here.

I can help.

How to Balance your Chakras!

To keep chakras balanced, it’s important to create alignment in both your physical and mental state. Breathing exercises and relaxation meditation can help you reach this alignment. A yoga pose for a corresponding chakra can also open and balance it.

I have been really gettin into Chakras lately! They have been super fun to learn about. Follow my Youtibe series to see more

Root Chakra

  • In Balance: Balance in the first chakra allows you to feel grounded and confident.
  • Too Much: Excess energy in this chakra leads to greed and cockiness.
  • Not Enough: Low energy in this chakra can leave you feeling unhinged or disconnected from your job, family, and true self.

Solar Plexus Chakra

  • In Balance: Balance in the second chakra allows you to feel comfortable in your own skin and accepting of your emotions. It also allows for creative expression of self.
  • Too Much: When the sacral chakra is overenergized, you may look past your faults and become hyperfocused on pleasure. It can lead to excessive indulging and co-dependence.
  • Not Enough: Low energy can lead to creative blocks, feeling unloved, and emotional roller coasters.

Heart Chakra

  • In Balance: When energy flows freely, you will experience compassion, love, and acceptance.
  • Too Much: If you are experiencing jealousy or feeling clingy, you may have too much heart energy.
  • Not Enough: Signs that your heart chakra may be blocked or low in energy include feeling shy or lonely, or experiencing an inability to forgive.

Throat Chakra

  • In Balance: When the throat chakra is in balance, you feel authentic and are a confident conversationalist and good listener.
  • Too Much: If you know the expression “all choked up” then you understand what too much throat chakra energy might feel like—an emotional overload. It is also associated with manipulative behavior, arrogance, and being too talkative.
  • Not Enough: When the throat energy is low, there can be a tendency to feel shy or reticent or to act in a passive-aggressive way.

Third-Eye Chakra

  • In Balance: Ajna means “beyond wisdom,” and in balance you experience expanded imagination, clairvoyance, synchronicity, and intuition.
  • Too Much: When the third eye chakra is overactive, the mind races. You can feel that buzzy energy of over-caffeination or sleeplessness. It can be difficult to concentrate or stay on task.
  • Not Enough: Low or blocked Ajna energy impedes your ability to remember and concentrate. Processing speed slows and you may be prone to procrastination and indecision.

Crown Chakra

  • In Balance: In balance, this chakra maintains your self-awareness, wisdom, and connection to the inner compass that guides you to your highest self.
  • Too Much: Signs of too much crown energy include materialism and rigid self-identity.
  • Not Enough: Low crown energy leads to depression, a sense of disconnection from life, and a lack of compassion.

Why you should Try an virtual Mindset Fitness Course!

Why You Should Try an online course!

I have created a library of amazing virtual fitness and mindset courses and the number one question people ask me is how do I know if I am ready.

The thing about a good virtual course is you don’t have to be ready. I literally walk you through the steps and give you the tools so that you can start down a path towards a better mindset, a healthier body and give you actual tools to develop the habits you want.

Reasons you should start an online fitness course:

  1. You want direction and a plan

Often there is so much information out there, actually boiling it down to what is the useful info and what isn’t is the key to success. You cannot do everything and the task of sifting through information can be exhausting. That is why I have done that for you.  You don’t have to question if things will be effective or spend time putting together a plan. All my courses have a plan with check boxes and easy to follow step by steps.

  1. You want change but you are busy

 Virtual course breaks it all down for you so you don’t have to waste any time you can get straight to the point. 

  1. You get support through the process

You are not alone! Mindset can be overwhelming to change, that is why I am here! I am along with you for the journey so you can ask questions and get the guidance you need while things feel tough

  1. Because you are worth it

Signing up for a course you are investing in yourself and investing in your improvement! You are saying YES to yourself in the most ultimate way. My virtual courses allow you a way to grow and question self assumptions and really start to live your best life. 

Why does it feel scary to start something new?

Often we are fearful of failing, of looking stupid, of getting judgment from others. But guess what? We are going to get that anyway!

Or maybe we are scared of the success, if I get 1000 followers on YouTube, that many people will engage with me and what if they don;t like me?! Success can feel intimidating.

So we don’t start new things and we get stuck in our ways and unhappy with where we are at.

Growth requires change and it often requires trying new things.

What some personalized and private advice? You can hire me as YOUR personal trainer!

You deserve a body that you feel good in.

You shouldn’t have to worry about pain or pulling your shoulder out.

Movement can be hard to find because of fear, disinterest and laziness.

I get it, motivation is hard to find most days.

But thats why you hire a personal trainer.

You make a commitment to yourself, most of my clients I see 2 or 3 times a week and for that half hour, or that hour. I am their motivation.

I design workouts to make your body feel good.

It’s not about pushing and doing the hardest workout.

It’s about connecting and moving with your body.

And you can do this at home with no equipment, just a screen and me.

Look I get it, there are a lot of BAD personal trainers out there.

I am not a newbie or someone desperate for clients. I genuinely want to help YOU feel good.

But if your not ready to start, keep scrolling.

If you are ready but you don’t know how to start, lets try one session.

Even if you have had bad experiences with trainers before, I want you to know I am different.

I am like a brainy carebear.

I pride myself in providing valuable and knowledgeable fitness information.

I want you to FEEL good in your body, not chase fad diets. This isn’t quick results.

This is manifesting lifelong changes that promote your HEALTH, and make you LIVE LONGER.

It’s literally proved with science. Movement is health.

Health is complicated and it looks different on everyone.

I am not a NO PAIN NO GAIN trainer. Actually if a movement hurts you, we aren’t going to do that movement.

I want to show you how to move in your current range of motion in a safe way.

That doesn’t mean I am not going to push you. Make you stronger and push your limits.

We can crush all your goals this year.

Every body is different. Yours is so unique, you don’t need some cookie cutter workout copy and pasted off the internet.

You need a workout designed for how YOU move.

This is where I come in.

I am going to create exercises for your to sleep better, feel better and have more energy.

Whether your fear is from past injury, a bad gym experience or just fear.

Don’t worry the care bear is here.

I can help.

If I don’t know something I find out, I have read hundreds of published scientific journal articles in Physical therapy and movement to make sure I have the best most up to date information for my clients.
