Hello

Reclaiming Movement is a course focused on exploring your relationship with movement, not a workout program. There are no assigned exercises or movement sessions. However, you're absolutely encouraged to explore movement in ways that feel good to you throughout the four weeks. The course provides the reflective and educational foundation - the "work before the work" - so that when you do engage in movement (whether on your own or with support), you're coming from a place of clarity and intention.

I'm a NASM-certified personal trainer with 6+ years of experience and someone who has done deep personal work around body image, diet culture, and movement. This course offers peer-facilitated education and community support, not therapy or medical treatment. We'll work with established frameworks (ex: intuitive movement principles) in a body-neutral, anti-diet culture context. If you're working through trauma or need clinical support, I encourage you to work with a licensed therapist alongside (or instead of) this course.

This course is for you if: • You have a complicated relationship with exercise or movement • You've been harmed by diet culture or toxic fitness culture messaging • You want to explore your movement story and understand how past experiences have shaped your current relationship with movement • You're looking for community and connection with others navigating similar struggles • You want to build a sustainable foundation before (or instead of) jumping into a workout program • You're ready to do reflective work and redefine what strength and movement mean to you This course might NOT be the best fit if: • You're looking for actual workouts or movement programming (we can talk about 1:1 training or mentorship instead!) • You need specialized support for specific medical conditions (though the reflective work may still be valuable alongside medical care) • You've done extensive work unpacking diet culture and movement trauma and feel ready to jump straight into implementation

All live sessions are recorded and sent out afterward, so you won't miss anything if you can't attend live. You can catch up on your own time and join the next week's session.

Plan for: • 1 live session (90 minutes/week) • Self-paced module work (30-60 minutes/week depending on how deep you go) • Optional: Journaling, reflection, and experimenting with movement on your own time

We operate with body-neutral, anti-diet culture values. That means: • No talk of weight loss as a goal • No before/after photos or body comparisons • No diet talk, food moralizing, or "good/bad" body language • Confidentiality - what's shared in the group stays in the group • Respect for all bodies, abilities, and experiences • As previously stated, I am not a medical professional and will not be offering advice, counseling, or diagnoses. This course focuses around community based healing through sharing, connecting, and supporting one another. This is a space to be honest about your experiences without judgment.
