TRAINING PTSD THROUGH FITNESS
Let go of physiological triggers to help release mental triggers
MY PERSONAL STORY
For all those who find emotions too uncomfortable to sit with or they’re unrecognizable, exercise for PTSD will open your mind body connection to transform your triggers—helping you let them go.
The pain I once carried was from being sexually assaulted. I didn’t understand why at nighttime, I couldn’t control my racing heart and mind. Interestingly, the panic attacks always occurred when I was alone. But training allowed me to let go of the pain and renew my nervous system.
When life treats you harshly, you understand that you’ve lived more life than most people. But you can choose to move forward. Let your transformation begin by your body teaching the mind to be still.
LET TRANSFORMATION START TODAY
The first step in walking into a new lifestyle is knowing that YOU CAN. The hardest part is making a different choice: the choice to go for a walk instead of watching tv, the choice to meditate instead of feeling sorry for yourself, the choice to help restore your nervous system into the sense that “YOU CAN” be better.
Understanding where you are today is the first step to a better tomorrow.

WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT PTSD & EXERCISE
HOW ONLINE FITNESS COACHING WORKS FOR TRAINING PTSD
I offer specialized virtual personal training for those with PTSD. Customized programs not only help you achieve your fitness goals but also use targeted intensities to address PTSD triggers.
THE DRIP TRAINING APPROACH:
Strength & Conditioning: Building your muscular strength and cardiovascular health boosts neurochemicals like serotonin, which aid in healing depression and anxiety.
Breath Training: The way you breathe directly influences your state of mind, engaging either the parasympathetic "relaxed" system or the sympathetic "fight or flight" response. By retraining your breath during intense training, you will gain control not only while lifting physical weight but also under the pressures of life.
Mind-body Connection: Strengthening this connection will reveal how your body responds to stress, letting you to recognize trigger points in your body, and ultimately manage your reactions to external triggers with greater control.
