Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mend, Bend, Flow Framework?

The Mend, Bend, Flow Framework is designed to get you moving as painlessly and safely as you're able.

Mend: We'll spend the first few sessions on corrective exercise. We'll get you some lasting relief for your shoulders, knees, and back by rebalancing your body.

Bend: Mobility is key! Being able to access different positions keeps your body healthy and resilient.

Flow: Powerfully and gracefully flow into different positions your body moves through most days, whether you're spending time with family or playing your favorite sports. Be like water...

Do I need a gym membership or equipment?

Nope. I have all the equipment we need. And while weight training has benefits, we can design a great workout without any equipment at all. Many of my clients get outstanding benefits from just committing to walking more often!

Will you give me a diet?

My coaching comes with lots of online support and resources, like the 30-day Plant-based Transformation Program with done-for-you grocery lists and recipes, free.

You can follow it fully or use it for a few recipe ideas. In either case, I give you The Flexible Food Gameplan to help you practice eating foods that support better energy and workouts. You build confidence and learn more how to be more mindful- first of what foods you put into your body, then with everything else.

I also coach you on the patterns and emotions that affect your food choices.

How many times per week will I work out?

We create the details of your plan based on our your needs, the discovery call, and our first meeting and assessment

When will I start seeing results?

You'll feel more energetic and confident in your first few workouts!

Personalized coaching helps you track performance improvements, and over time, you'll tone up, further boosting your confidence and energy. Everyone around you will see you move differently- some will ask if you got a haircut.

Can I work with you if I have a medical condition?

I will work with most people who have approval from their health care provider.
