HELP FOR MAINTAINING HEALTH

Unfortunatly for women, fitness protocols are based on men’s physiology and sensibilities. Sayings like “go for the burn” and “no pain - no gain” are still the main fitness mantras (while injuries continue to climb and our country’s population continues to become less fit). This has created a problem for women who metabolize fat differently from men and who, due to hormonal changes (pregnency, menopause, etc.,) make up a large segment of those seeking to lose weight and become more fit.

Currently women’s gyms are still just men’s gyms for women.

How I Can Help

I have found my own experiences invaluable in training women. Having had a baby and aging, have taught me a great deal about weight loss and maintaining muscular and cardiovascular health and strength. I go through the physical and mental stresses and changes all women go through. The purpose of my work is to help women empower themselves through sharing knowledge and experience in fitness and belief systems.

Most fitness obstacles are caused by psychological as well as physical factors. In today’s world most women do not realize their own unique beauty because it does not exactly match up to today’s ever-present air-brushed youth oriented ideals. In truth, feminine beauty is not defined by arbitrary cultural perceptions, but exists timelessly as a testament to the divine feminine. Owning our own allure and belief in ourselves frees energies that are wasted through frustration due to low self-esteem. The insight of true feminine beauty and power will shift consciousness to change belief systems responsible for the inner obstacles to self confidence.

Begin by making the most of what you have.

The feminine body is a divine temple,

our own divine temple,

and should be revered as such.

Confident energy that radiates from the inside is true beauty and power. The most exciting aspect of my work is when a client makes progress or achieves her goal and to hear their stories of success. I have a client who silently thanks me when she gets a compliment on her appearance. I have another client who danced during most of a Bar Mitzbah instead of overeating the way she used to. Prior to working with me she did not have the cardiovascular endurance or coordination skills to dance. Now she enjoys movement and dance (more than food).

The legacy I like to leave with my clients is the beliefs, experience and success of health, strength and vitality.
