MBodied Strength

I went from hating working out to my life and career goals revolving around fitness!My journey began when I was at rock bottom. I was severely depressed, broke, and losing hope. I had been through 4 years of continuous traumas while living in a community that was not welcoming of my queer identity.I had gotten to the point where I knew if I didn’t take action, someone else would have to step in to care for me. So, I found a fun way to work out that kept me accountable. I quickly learned that movement was essential to help me overcome my PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It remains one of the primary ways I manage my mental health today.Through moving my body, I gained confidence, courage, and strength (mental & physical). I learned how to love myself and my body for the first time. Now I want to pass along all that I have learned and help others to know the strength and resiliency they possess as well!
