Coach Natalie | Strength + Powerlifting w/ psychology & activism

A look into my coaching brain 🖤
“Trauma-Informed Lifting” - 
What does it mean?

As a Strength Coach, the brain-body connection is something I’m really passionate about. 

I feel it’s the most valuable aspect- of the work that I do (especially when we cultivate community around that!)

I truly believe in the power of lifting as a tool for:
-healing + growth
-learning what you’re capable of
-gaining empowerment
-building self-trust, resiliency, and reflection
-being a metaphor for life.

It’s not about always pulling back / “avoiding discomfort”
-but acknowledging your experiences,
how those impact you, and
how you can use lifting to challenge yourself + demonstrate your inherent power.

This approach looks different with every client I work with - 
But these are the missions + values that I strive to uphold + continually practice.
