Ok so there’s been a pandemic…I’ve had to shelter in place with two little kids in a small condo suite, I’ve escaped to the northern regions of our province to find freedom on a family farm, I’ve sent my kids back to school during a pandemic, and now I’m back to work at the gym…for now! I am not teaching any group fitness right now as I couldn’t imagine juggling the logistics of having kids sent home at next to no notice and having to duck out of running classes because of it….and now most classes are put on hold anyways because of the rising numbers of COVID-19 in our province right now.
This is a trying time, but I have finally had a little more time since school started for my little munchkins to reassess what I am doing, and what I want to do, with my career. I am revamping my website a bit today to represent my new focus. I want to work with woman, particularly those who have born children, who once were athletes but don’t compete anymore, and want to rebuild their confidence to “play” in life again. There is something so fulfilling in playing sport, any sport, when you are an athlete. You are “in the moment”, your body just does what it knows how to do, and it feels sooooo good! But…then you have kids and your body changes, and then you get older and your body changes some more. You are still an athlete though-your body can still move and work and when it does it just “feels right.” But damn-it you get hurt, and the hurt lasts. I want to help woman learn how to honor their body now, it’s capabilities and its limitations. I want to connect with moms and talk about kids, struggles, and things we’re learning as parents. Holy cow - to couple being who you once were to who you are now and enjoy it through working out together. It will be good:)
