Online Personal Training

Have you gotten hurt before? Need personalized support? I can help you to:

– Improve posture and movement quality

– Learn to strengthen and stabilize

– Regain movement

– Understand how to adjust movement to work for you

All while working to decrease your pain through an INDIVIDUALIZED plan!

 

If you have a history of chronic pain, a history of repetitive injury, Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and/or are regaining strength and movement after an injury, AND looking to build strength and REGAIN movement in your life, I can help!

My technique uses a combination of mobility, strength, breathe work, and awareness is effective to gain or regain strength, resume or increase activities. The process starts by building a solid foundation of movement quality, learning to feel, stabilize, and control movement patterns. I believe in starting small, exploring where an individual needs to build stability, strength, and/or mobility. From there I will build you a program that is tailored to your needs. Often the program will be altered along the way to accommodate changes that arise. 

I believe that the skills of listening and accepting what your bodies are telling you allows you to build from where they are at.  Only when you accept where you are, can you truly see the path forward. 

All sessions are available over zoom or facetime. While this has become more normalized, the most common question I get is, “how does it work online?”

The general format is basically similar to in person. You will learn how to adjust movement patterns, muscle engagement, and more. I will demonstrate exercises and provide connections in how the exercises need to be adjusted. If you are still unsure, that’s ok! I offer a complimentary consultation over Zoom or Facetime so you can try it out and see if it is a good fit for you!

IF 1-on-1 sessions over Zoom are not for you, that’s ok! I also offer online programming that includes a programming app with video explanations of each exercise, check in’s for accountability, and programming that relies on a slow progression which helps you gain strength and movement WITHOUT injuries!

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. I have gotten hurt in other programs, how is this different? 

I understand the apprehension, and truly appreciate it. I have 15 years of experience working with clients who struggle with pain AND want/need to gain strength. I operate under the belief that you are the expert on you, and that my job is to help facilitate and guide you. I encourage and ASK clients to tell me how they are feeling before, during, and after sessions to ensure that they aren’t experiencing pain. WHEN pain arises, we address it and adjust our programming

2. Can I really gain strength when I have pain right now?

YES! Getting checked out by a doctor is the first step, and I always suggest that clients speak with their doctor first. However, gaining strength is a long road, and together we can find exercises that might improve your pain and increase your strength without putting you at risk for more pain. Over time, your capacity will build and you will continue to gain strength. 

3. Is online programming right for me?

If you are looking for guidance through programming, have struggled with injury or pain in other programs, AND need an individualized program, then YES! I will work with you and design a program that will help you to meet your goals and improve your health!

3. Is personal training right for me?

Online personal training sessions are very helpful for improving form, helping you to understand what each movement needs to feel like and look like. If this is you, then YES!

4. Are you a physical therapist?

No, I am not a Licensed Physical Therapist. Physical therapists diagnose and treat. I am a personal trainer and coach who can help you overcome challenges and ultimately meet your goals of gaining strength, improving mobility, and increasing capacity. My approach is whole body, as I believe that the body functions as a unit and each part affects the rest. 

5. Is it worth the money? 

Ultimately this is a question you get to answer for yourself. How much is your well-being worth to you? Gaining strength has been shown to help you have less pain, improve longevity, improve your energy levels, boost your mood, and more. If you are struggling with pain, a lack of movement, strength, and mobility is certainly affecting your daily life in many ways, and working with me is one way to address this and take a step forward. Remember, what you do today affects not just tomorrow but also the rest of your life. Do you want to regain movement and be more functional to live your life more fully? If you think this is worth the money for you, then YES!
