What is weightism?
> Weightism is bias or discrimination against people who are fat. This represents the antithesis of my values. Movement is for everybody. It's my job to demonstrate ways to train that's appropriate for people of all activity levels. So whether you're new to getting moving or, if you are an athlete I have a program for you.
Do you align with Health at Every Size™️?
> I believe all humans have a birthright to engage in physical activity to the degree of their abilities. While it would be nice to experience joyful movement, there's often a need to first create accommodations for safe access to movement.
Are you trauma-informed regarding eating disorders or body image issues?
> Yes.
Do you have experience working with people who have complex, marginalized identities?
> Yes.
Do you offer in-person training?
> Not at this time.
Are you a certified personal trainer?
> I became a certified personal trainer with National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2017, and maintained the credential for 6 years. I continue to work full-time as a movement and fitness coach, but I no longer operate under NASM certification. I am now a Level 1 GOATA Groundwork coach, and my studies toward level 2 GOATA will be complete by December 1, 2024.
What is GOATA?
GOATA is an acronym for Greatest of All Time Actions. GOATA is the method that I used to help all people, all ages and all activity levels, to mobilize and stretch the body. Then, strength can be developed in a decompressed and more aligned skeleton. For more information, watch this video: "What is GOATA?"

> It varies, but training 1-2x per week is most common.
