⚡️ 💪 🙋🏼‍♀️ Empowered 2021 Newsletter- New Coaching Services, New PROGRAMS, NEW Events, New CLIENT STORIES!

I’ve been working really hard on my continuing education and credentials to be able to provide safe, effective and holistic services for you all.

TRAUMA INFORMED WEIGHT LIFTING CERTIFICATION

I have finished a month long extensive course in Trauma informed weight lifting and wellness coaching. What does this mean? Did you know that 80% of people have experienced a traumatic event? Trauma is any event or series of events that compromises and overwhelms our ability to cope. Trauma causes significant impairment to the nervous system and can show up in muscle aches, pain, anxiety, decreased performance, increased fatigue, emotional dysregulation, altered metabolism and decreased motivation. This training enables me to work in the realm of life coaching for those who have endured significant life stressors. The trauma of Covid has impacted many of us who are seeing stress and trauma show up in the form of injury or decreased recovery. As a trauma survivor myself, I understand the unique struggles that permeate nearly every aspect of life.

Now I am able to help you with your struggles and will be listed in a Global Directory of Trauma Informed Coaches! This certification is the first of its kind. I will use this new method of coaching in mentorship that focuses on a prescribed combination of:

• Nutrition
• Weight Lifting
• Injury Prevention/Bridging from Physical Therapy
• Mind-Body regulation
• Life Coaching
• Habit Changing

So that you can live your most authentic and Empowered life!

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATION

I have completed a certificate for Women In Leadership that has exposed me to many different theories on leadership and how we can become the leaders in our own lives. This will help me help YOU reclaim a sense of agency and control in these chaotic and stressful times.

Research with the Center for Embodiment and Justice Resource Institute on Weightlifting as an Adjunct Intervention for Healing from Emotional Stress & Trauma 

I am honored to have been interviewed and to collect data for the Justice Research Institute and Center for Embodiment in addition to the Trauma Informed Weightlifting Certification. This research project is examining weightlifting and high intensity exercise such as CrossFit or Olympic Lifting as an adjunct intervention to trauma and stress. By participating in this research program we will be able to produce protocols that allow Coaches to better serve their clientele. To be able to use my own traumatic experiences to help others is a silver lining!

What’s Next?

USAW Weightlifting Certification 

To pair with the Trauma informed weightlifting portion of my new certification. While I have my Strength and Conditioning License, this certification will allow me to help those overcoming trauma find healing in the olympic lifts.

OWN YOUR STORY 

Telling your story—while being witnessed with  support from others who care may be one of the most powerful catalysts for overcoming obstacles. I will be working hard with each client to develop their own unique story throughout their wellness journey.

This past month I published a blog post about my client Mary DiRienzo who developed strength both inside and out through using her voice, sharing her story and by consistently weight lifting. I look forward to interviewing and speaking with you about your encounters and experiences with empowered coaching so far.

COMING SOON!

I will be taking 4-6 ladies for a 1:1 Mentorship with a small group component. This Empowered Journey will focus on finding healing and life balance through weight lifting, nutrition and overcoming obstacles.

If you are interested in reserving a spot please respond to this e-mail for the details and a soft reserve. My last small group Empowered Bites Program filled up quickly. I am only taking a few people so that the quality of Coaching and Mentorship is high and personalized.

COMING SOON!

COMING SOON! Self- Defense Class!

National Sexual Assault and Awareness Month is coming up in April. Covid came and the world stopped along with many of the self- defense classes that have been offered to women. While Covid may have stopped classes, the reality is that Covid cannot stop assault.

This VIRTUAL offering will introduce situational awareness and practical application of skills in dangerous situations. You do not need to be a martial artist to get out of a scary situation.

The virtual component means that you may want to have an advocate in the room with you to practice on OR a daughter/friend who you have already been quarantined with.

Net proceeds will be donated to help victims of assault.
