Find joy in every step!
Fitness doesn’t have to be complicated. We live in an era of constantly evolving exercise trends and while trying out all the hot new things can be fun, it can also be overwhelming. Often, it leads us AWAY from our goals-and what really matters: finding joy in movement. My advice? Stick to activities you love, […]
The Great Motivator
Love. There’s no greater motivator. The love for your children, your partner, siblings, parents, friends, community… yourself. The world’s a mess right now. It can easily feel like there’s so much love lost, but I insist that’s not the case. One helpful practice to commit to is breaking things down to what we can actually […]

Get Excited About Your Goals
As we race towards the end of the year and begin to consider what our goals for 2025 might look like, slightly shifting your approach can help make your fitness goals more exciting. To set a goal of losing 10lbs may seem important, but really it lacks substance. What happens when the 10lbs are gone? […]
Pelvic Floor Woes
You’re Not Alone I was still in my twenties when I realized how many clients had issues with incontinence. Women of all ages, and some who have never had children either.

For the Busy Person
‘I could do it on my own. I should be able to self-motivate and exercise daily before work… Do I even need to workout daily? I could look up home workouts on YouTube, but how will I know which are right for me? Mornings are tough… May need to be after work.’ – The Busy […]
Embracing the Seasonal Change
