I'm a 1-on-1, pain-informed strength coach for people who refuse to let nagging joint pain, limiting narratives about aging, or intimidating gym environments keep them away from the active lives and adventures they love.
Who I work with...
-
People who don't want to accept they can't do what they used to
-
People returning back to a sport or group fitness class from injury or physical therapy
-
People who feel stuck with their current fitness routine
-
People who have tried "everything"
-
People who refuse to buy into the negative narratives about aging and physical limitations
I work with clients in person, remotely or a combination of these, depending on what best fits your needs, capabilities and location.
Your coaching journey is a highly individualized experience that prioritizes what's most important for you to achieve and why, and evolves with you as you progress. When we work together, I help you determine the pace at which you can successfully make measurable, meaningful-to-you changes.
You receive personalized education and guidance in building the skills and habits you need to reclaim and sustain your physical freedom, whatever that looks like for you.
You develop the competence and confidence to apply what you're learning consistently so you can thrive in the ways you've always wanted.
You learn how to successfully navigate the inevitable setbacks - physical and mental - that will arise on your journey.
You become a version of yourself that never needed me in the first place.
The Process
1 | Free Discovery Call (30 minutes)
A virtual call to learn more about you, what you need help with and to determine if I may be the right professional to help you.
2 | Consultation (In Person or Virtual, 1.5-2 hours)
During the consultation, we take a deeper dive to establish exactly what your goals are, why they're important to you, what you need to successfully achieve those goals, and if we are a great fit to work together. I'll guide you through a joint-by-joint Movement Screen - the foundation for understanding how well your body moves, if and where you may feel any pain or irritation and to what degree, and start identifying what will be prioritized in your program. The consultation also helps us clarify the timeline over which your custom program will happen based on your starting point and where you want to be.
3 | Assess, Adapt & Fortify
When you enroll, we start with 1-1 sessions with lifestyle education and additional strength, competency and tolerance testing that builds on your flexibility and mobility assessment to create a plan that's customized to your needs and goals. We continue proper dosing of your custom program in 1-1 sessions or remotely/independently through the TrueCoach app so you build competence, confidence, and autonomy in base movements, a more resilient mindset, the application of intensity, and how to communicate with me as your coach.
4 | Reclaim Your Freedom
You are consistently and successfully applying the skills you've learned to live a pain-free, active life! You can continue with proper dosing of your custom programming, in person or remotely, with ongoing guidance from me to safely pursue and progress activities outside of the gym or choose to pursue your training independently. Either way, you have done the work to reclaim your physical freedom, safely and confidently!
