Women’s health is a huge topic, & there is a LOT of information out there. Some of it is helpful. Some of it is oversimplified, outdated, or just incorrect
.
So, I’m excited to be hosting a 3 part Women’s Health & Training Series at JET Brooklyn this October
.
We’ll be talking about:
Your Cycle & Training: Do we really need to cycle sync?
Perimenopause & Menopause: What’s actually happening to your body?
The Pelvic Floor: It’s more than Kegels
.
The goal is simple: make women’s health information easier to understand, evidence based, & applicable to real life
.
📍 JET Brooklyn
📅 October 11, 18 & 25 at 11 AM
🎟️ FREE 😎
.
Sign up via Mindbody or JET Hub. I’d love to see you there!

Something I’ve been working on for a while is finally happening ❤️
.
This October, I’ll be hosting a 3-part Women’s Health & Training education series at JET Brooklyn
.
Over three Sundays, we’ll be talking about:
Your Cycle & Training Do we really need to cycle sync?
.
Perimenopause & Menopause What’s actually happening to your body?
.
The Pelvic Floor It’s more than just Kegels
.
The goal is simple: evidence-based information that is useful whether you’re training regularly, getting back into exercise, or simply trying to better understand your body
.
Not more internet wellness rules. Not “hormone hacks.” Not telling every woman she needs to train the same way. Just good information, practical conversations, & a better understanding of our bodies
.
📍 JET Brooklyn 📅 October 11th, 18th & 25th ⏰ 11 AM
.
More information on how to reserve your spot coming soon
I’m really excited about this one!

Prenatal Movement Variability: Scapular + Thoracic Mobility 🤰
.
Pregnancy changes the way we move, & that 100% includes the upper back & shoulders.
As the abdomen grows & the center of mass changes, some people may notice increased stiffness or simply that certain movements feel different than they used to
.
Scapular + thoracic mobility can help support comfortable movement with: -Reaching -Pushing + pulling -Lifting -Rotation -Everyday activities
.
Some of my go-to movements: → Quadruped thread-the-needle + light rotation → Scapular push-ups → Open books → I’s, Y’s + T’s → Wall slides
.
I’ll usually incorporate mobility work toward the beginning of a workout, but it doesn’t have to stay there. If a client is feeling particularly stiff that day, we can add more mobility throughout the session
.
That’s the beauty of movement variability: not following a rigid checklist, but giving the body different options & adjusting training based on what the person needs that day
.
Prenatal training doesn’t have to look exactly the same from one day (or one trimester) to the next

Women make up roughly half the population, but historically, we haven’t always been equally represented in medical research
.
For years, concerns about pregnancy & fetal safety contributed to women being excluded from some clinical trials, leaving researchers with less information about how diseases & medications affect women
.
In 1993, the NIH Revitalization Act made the inclusion of women in NIH-funded clinical research part of federal law
.
That was a major step forward, but there are still gaps in what we know about women’s health today
.
As a woman & someone who works with countless women, it can be extremely frustrating when navigating women’s health & wellness… especially with the rise of misinformation on social media. But with constantly asking questions & doing research from reputable sources I hope to educate & inform as many women as I can

This past weekend I walked into a room full of coaches I didn’t know & despite having been coaching for 9+ years, I still got a little nervous
.
I think sometimes there’s this expectation that once you’ve been doing something for a long time, you’re supposed to feel like you know what you’re doing ALL the time. But the reality is, you don’t know everything. And you never will
.
This is one of the things I love about continuing education. It puts you in situations where you have to be a student again (which I enjoy🤓). You have to ask questions, admit when you don’t know something, try things that are unfamiliar & be open to doing things differently
.
And yes, there’s a vulnerability that comes with that too
.
But I also think it’s important to remember that being a student doesn’t mean you don’t belong in the room
.
I have 9+ years of experience. I’ve worked with a lot of different people, bodies & goals. I’ve learned a lot through certifications, other coaches, clients, & honestly, through making trial & error. So I have things to bring to the table too
.
I think putting yourself in spaces where you can collaborate with other trainers, learn from them & share what you know is one of the best ways to continue growing as a coach
.
So yeah, another certification in the books. But more importantly, another reminder that I don’t have to know absolutely everything to be a good trainer. I just have to stay curious, keep learning & be willing to put myself out there

Sometimes life gets really hectic
Other things take priority
You’re not as focused
And you only have the time & mental capacity for just a quick workout here or there
.
The last 6 weeks have been one of the most chaotic & challenging times I’ve had in a bit
.
And life will be like that. We’re good until we’re not & at some point we’ll be good again
.
Do what you can when things are hectic & get back to it when things are better 💕 by @ackamien

A reminder I probably needed as much as anyone this week:
.
You are allowed to have seasons where you aren’t operating at 100%
.
As women, we can be incredibly good at pushing through, getting things done, taking care of everyone else, & holding ourselves to extremely high standards
.
But constantly pushing through isn’t the same thing as being resilient
Sometimes resilience looks like knowing when to ease up, adjust expectations, rest, & give yourself some grace
.
And yes I needed that reminder this week
.
You don’t have to earn rest
You don’t have to earn a break
And having a week where you do a little less doesn’t erase all the work you’ve already done
.
