This job, for me, is so much more than helping someone move their body. I believe our world is heavily influenced by a person’s looks and that those looks/body size/shape, often time, determine that person’s value in society. And although that idea is likely what drives the personal training and coaching industry, I just refuse to buy into it. My favorite thing about being a movement coach is being alongside them while exploring movement for more purposes than just to make their body change shape. Knowing I have a small part in helping someone realize that they decide what gives them value by showing compassion and kindness to themselves and their body is my true passion.
