A Different Approach to Personal Training
"If you're looking for a gentle, body-positive, and trauma-informed approach to fitness, we might be a good fit!
My educational background is in social work and gender studies, and I'm also a certified personal trainer. I'm passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, marginalized folks, and anyone looking for a welcoming, inclusive space to explore movement and build strength.
I understand that mental health, past experiences, and our relationships with our bodies can influence how we experience fitness. My goal is to help you discover ways to move that work with your body, not against it.
For me, personal training is about more than physical strength. It's about building confidence, reconnecting with your body, celebrating what you're capable of, and finding joy in movement.
What to Expect When Training With Me
Gentle encouragement, not pressure. You won't find a pushy, intimidating training style here. We'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Your body, your choice. Creating a supportive environment means respecting your boundaries, listening to your needs, and adapting exercises whenever something doesn't feel right.
Strength beyond the scale. I don't focus on weighing clients, counting calories, or tracking food. Instead, we'll celebrate improvements in strength, mobility, confidence, and how you feel in your body.
Movement that feels good. Fitness doesn't have to look the same for everyone. Together, we'll discover exercises and activities that you actually enjoy.
Connecting mind and body. We'll make space to check in with how you're feeling, explore what movements feel comfortable, and develop a stronger connection with your body.
My goal is to build a fitness community centred around positive connections, healthy living, self-confidence, and fun.
You deserve to feel welcome, respected, and empowered in your fitness journey. Let's find a way to move that feels right for you.
