Trauma-Informed Personal Training (TIPT) is an alternative way to move the body, in a safe and healthy way. Whatever safe and healthy may mean to you as an individual. My intention is to help you heal through movement. We will find modalities and tools that can be helpful for you, while training or just going about your day.

You will feel like a new person when you start to feel connected to your body. You will feel so comfortable in yourself and begin to express your needs within a session. I teach you to respect your body’s limits and find ways and tools to expand your own capacities. The best part is that this will also show up in many other areas of your life as well

My personalized and inclusive sessions are a safe space for everyone I work with. I use movement as self-care as it has amazing empowering and healing qualities. My intention is to teach you these tools, no matter your activity level or history.

I will help you to turn the corner by choosing a more mindful approach.
I will bring a connection between your mind and body in this sped-up world we live in.

I’m here for you.

the consultation

During the consult, we look into what you’re trying to overcome. You may touch on fitness and non-fitness related aspects and why they are important for you.

We discuss what you’ve tried so far, what worked and what didn’t work. Lastly we touch on what you need from me and from yourself to commit to your health journey. After this, if you decide to go forward we will decide on the best-personalized option for you.

I truly believe that it’s important to make my future clients feel heard during our consultation (and at all times), creating a safe space for them.

the assessment 

Unlike most other trainers I don't concentrate on generic fitness assessments. I focus on movement, body mechanics, bone structure, mobility, and flexibility. Tape measurements and before/after pictures are never being used as tools.

A lot of trainers will subscribe similar exercises to you. They do this without even checking to see if it is the best thing for your body. We all move in different and unique ways that are personal to us.

With this assessment, you will be prepared for your trauma-informed training program. I always come to your session with a program, however we never have to stick to it if it doesn’t feel right at that moment. What your body needs might be very different from what I had in mind.

the journey

After your in-depth assessment, you will have your own personal file created by me.

It will have pictures, and videos of your movement patterns (only for your own use, never for social media) and you get to track your progress and healing.

Instead of giving you a 12-week program from day one, my process is much more personalized and fluid. As we peel back the layers your needs and wants change throughout the process.

You’ll never be expected to reach goals such as number of sets or reps.

After each session, your progress is measured in real-time. From this point, I will personally assess what is needed in your next session.
