After/during birth, Injury, or a loss of fitness, my movement sessions help you regain confidence in the power of your body.
i experienced two wildly-different births in 2014 and 2017, and needed something more than conventional fitness to recover my body. Thankfully i came across restore your core®, an online asynchronous rehab exercise program. i began teaching movement again, adding this protective lens, to my practice. I facilitate A HEART-CENTERED-MOVEMENT APPROACH THAT FOCUSES ON THE WHOLE PERSON AND THEIR FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS, online and in st. louis, MO.
