You don’t need more motivation or a tougher mindset.
You need a plan that respects where your body is today — and adjusts as capacity returns.
This is coaching for people who want to lift again without guessing, rushing, or pushing through pain.
If you have a prior base of weight lifting and have been injured/had surgery & have already "graduated" from physical therapy, or have taken time away from the gym and just can't seem to "get back at it" without pain or discomfort limiting your lifting, you've found the right place.
Or you may have your training program optimized, you just find that life is less managable than you'd like it to be right now. If that's what's holding you back, health coaching is a great option for you.
This is the primary way clients work with me.
I provide individualized strength coaching for people returning to lifting after injury, surgery, or extended time away. It's a medically-informed "bridge" guiding you from where you are (post-rehab or out of practice in a more mature body) and where you desire to be with your strength training - safely, without the guesswork.
Once accepted as a coaching client, you schedule a live virtual assessment (onboarding meeting).
This program includes customized programming delivered through an app, weekly check-ins, in-app messaging, and ongoing adjustments based on symptoms, performance, recovery, and confidence.
Videos of lifts can be submitted through the app for review and feedback as needed. Your programming progresses based on how your body responds, not fixed timelines.
Sleep, stress, and recovery are periodically addressed as part of the coaching process, as they directly influence training tolerance and progress.
This is asynchronous coaching designed to provide clarity, consistency, and appropriate progression without unnecessary pressure.
Individualized health coaching focused on improving sleep, managing stress, and supporting recovery.
Once accepted as a coaching client, you schedule a live virtual assessment (onboarding meeting).
This program is designed for people whose energy, consistency, or capacity is limited by poor recovery or chronic stress — even in the absence of injury.
Coaching is delivered through an app and includes weekly check-ins, in-app messaging, and individualized guidance based on your feedback and response.
The focus is on sustainable behavior change that supports daily functioning, long-term training readiness and overall wellness.
There are 2 tiers available: Basic coaching without exercise or Premium coaching with signature workout programs, assigned based on your current level of fitness and available equipment.
A 30-minute live video coaching session via Zoom.
Return-To-Lifting Coaching: This session provides real-time coaching, cueing, and movement adjustments. It is best used during early return to loading, new or sensitive movements, or when confidence needs rebuilding.
Sleep, Stress & Recovery Coaching: This session provides real-time health coaching, addressing whatever is most appropriate at the time.
This is an optional add-on and does not replace ongoing programming or weekly check-ins.
Sessions are scheduled after purchase.
This is for people who want to train — without guessing.
If you’ve been cleared to exercise but don’t feel confident loading again, this coaching bridges the gap between rehab and full training.
You’ll have guidance, communication, and adjustments as your capacity returns.
This is for you if:
You’re returning to lifting after injury or surgery
You have pain with training and want to keep moving safely
You’ve been cleared medically but don’t feel confident loading yet
You want guidance without being micromanaged
You value communication, adjustments, and long-term progress
This may not be a good fit if…
You want a generic program or one-size-fits-all plan
You’re looking for constant real-time coaching
You prefer aggressive timelines over responsive progression
You’re not willing to communicate how things are actually feeling
You have an injury that requires a true rehabilitation plan (if you have pain/limitations during real-life, not just at the gym)
This keeps expectations clear — for both of us.
This is for you if:
You’re not injured, but you’re not recovering well
Sleep is inconsistent or unrefreshing
Stress feels chronic, not situational
Training “should” feel better than it does
You want support without tracking every habit or metric
This is especially helpful if you want to train — now or in the future — but your system feels overloaded.
This may not be a good fit if…
You’re looking for medical treatment or therapy
You want rigid rules or prescriptive protocols
You’re expecting instant fixes without experimentation
You prefer tracking everything over building awareness
This coaching works best when there’s openness to gradual, meaningful change
Some people start with sleep, stress, and recovery coaching and later move into return-to-lifting coaching.
Others begin with training-focused coaching and use health coaching to support recovery during higher-stress phases.
