Personalized coaching to help you get stronger and out of pain
In less than 15-mins a day.
If you’re an active person
you’re probably doing all the mobility you can.
But most people make the time-wasting mistake of trying a bazillion different things instead of focusing on what works best for YOUR body.
Or doing the same things over and over and again (foam rolling your thighs, anyone?) hoping that pain will just go away.
It’s frustrating to not know what actually works.
And keeps you stuck in a cycle of tension, injuries, and pain.
Imagine knowing exactly what your body needed to feel strong, flexible, and…
Pain free.
You’re stretching as often as possible.
And roll and get massages when something hurts.
You probably have a regular appointment with your chiropractor.
And still, relief is only temporary.
The key to getting stronger and maintaining your body?
Is a customized plan with the support of a coach to help you stick with it.

What others asked before kicking butt with the Movement Mavens Experience
I’m super busy and am worried I’ll fall behind. How can I know that I’ll be able to keep up?
The busier you are, the more important it is to have a program that’s super easy to follow. And since your AmplifyU Plan won’t take you more than 15-mins a day, you’ll actually have more time to do what you love (since you won’t be wasting any time doing boring stretches that don’t really work).
You’re busy.
That’s why the Movement Mavens Experience was built with one thing in mind:
Implementation.
The steps are laid out as clear as possible, plus you have access to me anytime you need so you’ll never be at a loss for what to do again.
Our coaching sessions are 45 – 60 mins every other week.
In between, you’ll spend 15-mins a few times a week to do your body maintenance and a longer block at least once a week for a workout.
But you have to make the time to do the work. If you are not in a place where that is possible, I can’t wave a magic wand and get you moving.
Will the Movement Mavens Experience really work for me? I’ve tried everything (and nothing lasts).
My goal is to teach you how to take back of your body.
I want you to become your own Body Detective – someone who is curious about the body AND has the answers and solutions for whatever might come up.
To be honest, my goal is for you to not need me by the time our sessions are done because you’ll be so confident in your ability to maintain your body.
The Movement Mavens Experience is the only program of its kind that not only teaches you how to maintain your body and move well, but also helps you craft your personalized plan so know exactly what to do to build sustainable strength, consistently.
How is this different from Movement Mavens?
When you join the Movement Mavens Experience, you’ll get access to everything in MM, which includes our inclusive community, monthly live strength workouts, cutting-edge trainings, curated mobility workout plans tailored for every ache and pain, and support from other body nerds on the same journey.
Our one-on-one coaching sessions take the support and accountability next level – allowing me to tailor every step and exercise exactly to you, your goals, and where you’re at right now.
If you’re not yet comfortable with a group training environment, the Movement Mavens Experience is a great place to start.
If you’re looking for expert level support and attention, you’re in the right place.
When you’re feeling comfortable, you can roll into Movement Mavens feeling stronger than ever.
Can’t I just stretch more?
Stretching doesn’t reteach your brain and body how to move without pain.
Muscle feel “tight” because they’re bracing – they tighten up because of one of a few reasons: overuse, underuse, misuse or injury.
Just stretching doesn’t help rebalance your body or help you train for a pain-free life.
My signature process and coaching teaches you how to use mobilizations and activations to release tension, build strength, and enjoy life without pain.
Which means you’ll be more ready for whatever comes your way – ready to run, ready to hike, ready to get back to working out.
Will getting stronger actually make that much of a difference?
Getting stronger is one of the #1 things you can do to injury proof your body.
The Movement Mavens Experience focuses on bodyweight movements so you can move well throughout your day.
By mastering the basics of good movement first, you’ll be able to give your body the stability it needs.
We can also develop an appropriate weight training program as you progress.
Won’t chiropractic and PT be better to get me to pain-free?
Instead of spending $320/month waiting to see your chiropractor, hoping that the adjustment actually sticks this time, and dreading the discomfort you know you’ll feel in between – imagine knowing exactly what to do in the moment for relief.
Because pain is a matter of when, not if.
And while yes, I totally support seeing a chiropractor or PT when you’re in pain and need it, depending on them for regular maintenance is like going to the dentist weekly for a cleaning instead of brushing your teeth.
A little bit everyday is not only enough to maintain your body so you can forget about soreness, tension and pain, it’s a requirement if you want to feel this way for good.
I’ve never done virtual coaching - how will I know that I’m doing it right?
True motor learning comes from having the time and space to reflect and practice.
But I also know how overwhelming it all can be in the beginning which is why we start with a Mobility Assessment for me to gauge your current flexibility and determine where to start.
We will meet on video so I can see how you’re moving and help you refine your form even more.
Will there be times where your form is off? Yes.
But learning how to fix mistakes for yourself (instead of being told by a trainer standing over you) gives you brain a chance to actually learn the movement.
Which means you also will know how to move well without getting hurt, no matter where you are.
What if I decide I don't like it?
There are no contracts and you can cancel at any time.

“I feel like it’s really opened my eyes to how the different parts of my body work together.
It’s also helped me feel better!
Because after only doing stretches on my hip for 6 months to a year, I was still having pain and couldn’t run, or if I ran, I couldn’t move for another 3 weeks. And now I can run because I know what to do afterwards.”

…what I noticed when I started working out trauma, anxiety and depression through my body is that I immediately slept better. I immediately stopped having panic attacks before I went to bed at night. I immediately stopped feeling jaw pain, and shoulder pain – things that clench up when I don’t even know because I’m just anxious. I could breathe better, my mind was more focused during my mediations. And these are all things I noticed within a week an a half and I was like ‘oh my, this stuff works!’”

“I used to wake up in the mornings and think, “I wonder if I’ll be able to workout and do the things I want to do today”.
I don’t think about that anymore.”
