Are you asking yourself right now… What does trauma have to do with my progress in fitness?

Well, the answer is… A LOT.

A traumatic experience (big or small) (past or present) can affect personal actions, choices, and lifestyle. Also, trauma can find a permanent home in cells and can create havoc on your physiology.

As a long time women’s Coach with a psychology degree, I have witnessed countless women overreact to eating something, shut down because a workout didn’t go as expected, panic, avoid communication, rage, disappear and simply be unable to “cope” with the overwhelming urge to binge, restrict, workout excessively, or resort to other unhealthy behaviours.

So, my job is to look for signs of trauma to help explain their resistance to change and their bodies’ response to coaching.

If you’d like to chat about the possibility of this for you, just email me with the words "I Hate Exercise" in the subject line, and let’s see if we can work together.

Behind every successful woman is her badass self…

Over the years I have watched many women, friends and clients worlds’ shatter from stress, mental illness, body image issues, unhealthy relationship with food, poor habits, chronic dieting, depression, conflicted relationships, trauma, parenting, productivity, and employment, especially now as we have to find a new way of LIFE!!!

They often lead to a cycle of gaining weight and losing weight often referred to as weight cycling, where successful weight loss is followed by another unintentional weight regain.
