"Wendy brings joy and laughter into training! And by doing so, helps you see movement as a way to love and listen to your body. I loved how every class was something new and fun. I felt more like myself again because not only was my body getting energized, but my spirit was too. She listens to who you are, and builds workouts around what fits your body and your personality. Don't miss out!" - Becca Chapman (clown, performer, teacher)
I am a Certified Personal Trainer (ACE) who is passionate about movement. I draw from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to: martial arts, gymnastics, weightlifting, climbing, dancing and circus. Please use the Contact Me button if you are interested in personal or small-group training or to inquire about workshops. I love to travel and I am looking forward to it again! I am also available throughout multiple time zones for online sessions.
I have studied movement modalities with a number of instructors and I have a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which I received from Damien Cordova. I received my brown belt from Sophia McDermott and began my training at Fenix BJJ with Ronaldo Campos.
I love working with people at all levels of fitness and ability, who are motivated to be a little better each day. Living and moving through life with a chronic illness has made me especially interested in working with others navigating both visible and invisible challenges. I am Certified Practitioner through Trauma Informed Weightlifting.
Empowerment is the key to our sessions.
I'm also all about aging gracefully and staying in engaged with the world as we do.
"I started working with Wendy a couple of years ago after I hit a tipping point where the state of my knees had prevented me from skiing with family. I have had pretty bad tendinitis in my knees since I was young, and it has prevented me from doing things that I want to do to the full extent that I want to do them for a long time. After working with her, my knees are the strongest they have ever been and I am so proud to say that I was able to make it through a whole ski season without experiencing knee pain!
Not only has she helped me along the way of solving this problem, but she also holds the most amazing space for people to show up as they are. As someone who has had body image issues and struggled to feel like I could fit into the fitness and movement sphere, I was always nervous about pursuing anything like personal training. Wendy meets me where I am at, and it is always about what my body can do that day rather than how my body looks. It has been incredibly transformational to have this support and has actually helped me to develop the confidence to show up in other movement spaces. She does all this and makes it fun!! I am so thankful for all the progress we have gotten to make, and I have no plan to stop working with her! I can’t recommend her enough!" - K
