Learn to Meet Yourself & Your Body Where it's at!
Personal Training and programming focus on what to do, how to do it, & how to make adjustments successfully.
My methods are based on over 17 years of experience working with hundreds of individuals, many of whom are hypermobile, have hEDS, are rehabbing from an injury, or are struggling with chronic pain & chronic injuries.
I utilize techniques that involve neurology, postural correction, breathing correction, movement re-patterning, body awareness improvements, stabilization techniques, and strength building in a sustainable manner.
My goal is to combine these techniques to help you build a better understanding of your body and how you can support yourself through movement and health habits.
Understand Your Body
Strength training begins with improving body awareness and body mechanics, with a focus on movement quality over quantity. As a result, it is an avenue to become better acquainted with your body so that you can build lasting strength for life.
Awareness is the key to change and allows you to learn improved movement patterns. While most people with hypermobility have been told to be aware and be careful, I focus on building awareness that supports daily life without becoming overwhelming.
Build Control & Confidence
By learning to be intentional about your movement, you learn a foundation of how to move your body in a manner that supports long-term strength building.
Control and confidence come with time and practice, as we focus on discovering and resolving imbalances, addressing movement dysfunction, improving proper engagement, and addressing challenges related to mobility, stability, and strength patterns.
Build Strength Progressively
Once you have a foundation of movement, we begin to build strength by connecting the body as a whole. Whole-body strength helps to improve posture, movement patterns, and functional strength for daily life.
We focus on functional patterns and fascial lines that you use in your daily life. Therefore, the progressive strength you build improves your ability to return to activities that you love.
Adapt as You Change
Strength training with Hypermobility, hEDS, or chronic pain means making ongoing adaptations. This causes challenges and, for many people- myself included- frustration at times!
Therefore, an important aspect of personal training and strength programming is learning how to make adjustments that help you to be consistent through the inevitable ups and downs of life.
