What makes your personal training trauma-informed?

My approach honours the impact of trauma on the mind-body connection, creating a safe space for clients to reconnect with their bodies, build resilience, and move with purpose and joy.

How does healing fit into personal training?

Healing is central to my work. Movement becomes a path to emotional and energetic restoration, combining self-care, mindfulness, and natural movement to foster self-worth and vitality beyond shame-driven fitness.

How does movement differ from fitness, and why does it matter?

Movement and fitness are interconnected yet distinct. Movement—big or small—forms the foundation of fitness, building strength and resilience. By harmonizing the movements of mind, breath, energy, and body, we create sustainable fitness that fosters vitality and connection. Healthy movement is the cornerstone of my approach

What types of movement do you include in your training?

I incorporate natural movement patterns, strength training (like kettlebells), yoga, and restorative practices. Each session is tailored to meet you where you are, blending challenge with care to support your goals.

Can I work with you if I’m new to fitness?

Absolutely! My training is accessible to all levels, focusing on gradual progress and honouring your unique needs. Whether you’re new to movement or looking to redefine your relationship with fitness, I’m here to guide you.

What if I have injuries or physical limitations?

We’ll adapt every session to suit your abilities. My experience in fitness and yoga helps me create modifications and alternatives to ensure you feel supported and capable.

What are your healing sessions like?

My remote healing sessions are gentle and supportive, focusing on what naturally arises. We clarify incoherence in the subtle bodies, often through the chakras, then bring fragmented energies into the present moment for integration and balance.

How do your healing sessions fit with other forms of healing?

The healing work I offer complements traditional methods like massage or talk therapy. It can enhance their benefits by addressing the energetic and subtle aspects of well-being, helping to bring balance and integration on multiple levels.

How do you integrate self-care into training?

Self-care is woven into every session through mindfulness, intentional movement, and a focus on self-compassion. I also provide tools for self-care practices you can use outside of training to support your healing journey.

What if I struggle with body image or motivation?

I understand how difficult this can be and approach it with compassion. We’ll work together to shift your mindset from self-criticism to self-care, focusing on movement as a way to celebrate your body’s capabilities rather than punish it.

How soon will I see results?

Results vary depending on your goals, consistency, and starting point. While physical changes take time, many clients notice increased energy, confidence, and a sense of well-being within a few weeks.

What if I have a setback or feel stuck?

Setbacks are a natural part of any journey. I’ll support you with compassion and help you find ways to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth. Healing isn’t linear, and every step matters.

What does a typical session look like?

Sessions usually begin with a check-in to assess how you’re feeling physically and emotionally. From there, we’ll move through a blend of mobility work, strength training, and restorative practices, closing with a short reflection or mindfulness moment.

How often should I train with you?

This depends on your goals and lifestyle. Many clients start with one to two sessions a week and complement that with practices I recommend for home.

Can I combine personal training with other services you offer?

Yes! My work is holistic, so combining personal training with yoga, energy healing, or self-care coaching can create a deeper, more integrated experience.

How do I know if your approach is right for me?

If you’re looking for a supportive, holistic approach that prioritizes both your physical and emotional well-being, we may be a great fit. Let’s have a conversation to explore your goals and see how I can help.
