About My Services

Let's get started working together today. If you don't find what you are looking for, please contact me so we can discuss your needs.

Training

Personal Training Sessions. We work together to come up with a plan that works for you. We decide on a time and place that is most comfortable and find a routine that you can stick with. I will teach you proper techniques and modifications if needed. Together we will work to achieve your goals. This can be done in one-on-one in partner sessions.

Let's Workout Together

Maybe you need a step further than just a trainer. Maybe you wnat someone to actually do the workouts with you. With this option, I will develop a plan for you and do the workout with you so you aren't alone. This will also help you stay accountable to the plan.

How About A plan

Feeling good and confident about your ability to safely execute exercises and do the workouts but need help coming up with a plan or routine that is best for you? Aren't quite ready to work with a trainer but want to get started moving and need some guidance? Let me help! With this option, i can help you with an exercise program that makes you feel safe and comfortable and give you someone to check-in with when you have questions or need more guidance.

Accountability

Maybe you've learned all the proper techniques before and you don't have any issues with working out, other than the act of making yourself do it. Let's talk through why that is and then come up with an accountability plan. Perhaps all you need me for is to check-in on you and make sure you are sticking to your own plan and working towards your goals. I can do weekly check-ins and help you hold yourself accountable to your goals.

Safe and Inclusive Environment!

I am always working to create the best, safe, accessible environment for your fitness journey. I welcome you, at any size, whatever your race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, previous fitness experience, or body type. I embrace the full spectrum of emotions that working out can bring up for my clients. I am happy to discuss any accommodations you might need due to neurodiversity or physical disability, or other reasons, and will always communicate clearly about my ability to meet these needs.

I promise to...

Carefully chose music, or let you bring in your own and we can workout to whatever you like.
Meet you in spaces that you are comfortable in.
Always asking for consent before touching.
Do my best to explain movements and how the sensation might feel in the body
Never ask you about your trauma history, but be a good listener if you do want to talk.

Use positive and reaffirming body talk
Be flexible with the workout plan and have an understanding that the client is in control and can end it or take a break at anytime.
The best I can to do anything else needed to create a safe space for you.

How EquitablePricing Works

Donate here

Want to donate to the Equitable Fund?

Don't need a trainer but like what you see here? Use the services and want to give someone else the opportunity to do the same? Maybe you have a few dollars to spare? Please consider a donation to help others have access to trauma informed fitness! All donations go directly to providing sessions to those in financial need.

An equitable pricing model allows for a service to be obtained at multiple price points based on the circumstances of the client. This method allows folks who would most likely be priced out of something to have the opportunity to take part in it. It also seeks to address the systemic inequalities of class in our culture. I am implementing this equitable pricing model to foster a more equitable system.

Here you will find pricing is broken down into three tiers. I am able to provide a limited number of slots on each tier, so these opportunities might not always be immediately available.

As you explore, I invite you to consider your personal access to resources + barriers related to the identities you hold. Being mindful that if you select a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher price, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of equitable pricing. The sliding scale thrives on trust. I trust you to be honest in your assessment of your economic reality. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices enables us to grow a strong and sustainable community.

* Basic Needs include food, housing, health care, transportation and transition related needs (including affirming clothing)

** Expendable Income might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the movies or a concert, books, high-end goods or services, and similar items each month, etc.

*If the lower tier is still prohibitive, I will work with folks to offer extended payment plans and other solutions.

* These statements are meant to act as a guide but I acknowledge that they cannot reflect the entirety of your personal situation.

Please note that I am always open to revisiting your pricing structure as financial situations change. After considering these statements please select the fee you believe reflects both a sense of collective care and self-compassion. I welcome all conversation and questions regarding your experience. I also welcome thoughts and ideas on factors I might consider as this continues to evolve. Thank you for engaging in this process!

Consider selecting the rate of $55 per 30min training session if some or all of these apply to you:

1. I am able to meet my basic needs* comfortably

2. I am able to pay for expendable wants**, take an annual vacation or time off work.

3. I have access to financial security, healthcare, have personal savings, own or lease a car, own property, rent higher-end property.

4. I have family members or other sources contributing to my lesson costs which allows me to contribute this rate even if I could not do so from my personal finances

This highest dollar cost reflects the true cost of a session It is the cost that, as an instructor, I would charge all students in the absence of a sliding scale. This rate was set in order to support business operations, license requirements, taxes, and cost of living.

Consider selecting a rate between $55 and $40 per 30min training session if some or all of these apply to you:

1. I am able to meet my basic needs*.

2. I am employed but have limited excess funds each month without much of a financial safety net.

3. I have some expendable income**. I am able to buy some new items & thrift others. I can take a vacation annually or every few years without financial burden.

4. I might be struggling to conquer debt / build savings / move away from paycheck to paycheck living, but have access to steady income and am not spending most of my time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc.

The middle tier acknowledges that full-price lessons may place accessibility just out of reach. If you are able to ask others for financial support, such as family, partners, or friends, please consider those personal resources before you use the resources of the sliding scale and limit opportunities for others.

Consider selecting a rate between $40-$30 per 30min training session if some or all of these apply to you:

1. I am unemployed or underemployed without a financial safety net.

2. I struggle to maintain access to needs such as healthcare, housing, food, childcare, and am living paycheck to paycheck.

3. I would not be able to access lessons at a higher rate and still meet my basic needs*.

4. I am unable to access sessions with most trainers due to cost.

5. Our society marginalizes some or many of my identities which can create barriers to my earning potential.

6. I do not have access to outside financial support from family or other sources to contribute to lessons.

The bottom cost represents an acknowledgment that there are marginalized folks who encounter barriers of racism, sexism, ableism, etc. or whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of personal training sessions if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. You deserve a community that honors your price as equal to an economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier.
