Inspire Wellness Studio

Remember, this can be as simple as your own body weight. Squats, planks, pushups are where you want to start. You'll get bone-strengthening, pain-relief, more energy, better sleep, better moods ......no pills or Dr.'s needed. Movement is the magic pill we're all looking for!! #movementismedicine #mobility #themagicpill

The squat is one of THE BEST exercises you can do for your body! I know a lot of people try to skip it b/c it's challenging, but it's well worth the process & patience it takes to get good at this one. Why is the squat so important, you ask? The squat is going to strengthen your ENTIRE BODY. Yes, they're predominantly working your lower body, (therefore are going to make your legs and booty look better, burn fat, and make you stronger), but they're also GREAT for the lower... back, core/abs, and are just generally going to build an all-around stronger body due to the strength it takes to lower and raise your body. They're also going to help you build stronger ankle, knee, and hip joints. Studies show that people who do squats on a regular basis are able to stay mobile later on in life! If you're trying to get stronger, want to improve literally any activity you do, and just want to feel better ~ don't skip your squats!! #workoutwednesday #personaltraining

I love this approach! When I want a good burger, I get one, but I've found that I don't miss the fries so I skip them and maybe get a salad instead. Every Friday I order pizza, but I snack on a cup of raw veggies before I tear into the pizza. I don't do All-or-Nothing. We can learn to enjoy the foods we love~ guilt-free & without spiraling into overeating just because we ate something that maybe wasn't the healthiest. I can tell that by taking this approach~ of the pizza ...AND the veggies, or the burger AND the salad, I've flipped the script in my head that used to tell me it HAD TO BE~ All-or-Nothing, and turned it into something much healthier and more balanced. Maybe voice eaten this way and had a healthy relationship with. If so, consider yourself very blessed, because many of us struggle. We've used food and other substances to self soothe/escape, and comfort ourselves. #foodfreedom #healthcoaching #healthyhabits

Can't believe it's been 5 years since we opened our doors in Mifflinburg! We'd like to say THANK YOU to all of our amazing friends & clients who have supported us and our business throughout the past 5 with ...... a party! The theme is ~ Encouraging Growth, No Matter Where You are in your Journey! Join us for Yoga in the Park from 10 to 11, and then follow us back to the studio. Celebration immediately following. We'll have lots of goodies for you to enjoy! Reminder~ Yoga in the Park starts May 1st!

Getting ready to open up my Health Coaching small group next week! We work on making small, SUSTAINABLE changes starting from the ground up. Nothing fancy, nothing else to buy. Just 30 days of learning what we REALLY need to focus on to get healthier, stronger, clean up our diet, lose the weight, & overcome negative mindsets!! Message me if interested .

I have wanted to design programs for people for so long!! I "thought" I had a pretty good idea of what they needed to do, but as a massage therapist, there was only so much I could suggest (within the limits of my licensure). And don't get me wrong, massage is for relieving pain!! But it's not always gonna get to the ROOT of the problem. There's usually an underlying weakness or imbalance that's causing pain somewhere in the body. And the area of the pain isn't n...ecessarily the SOURCE of the pain. The ACE personal trainer's program has made me feel very confident that I can meet with people, understand their lifestyle, their pain and limitations, and design a program to address whatever's going on. Maybe for you it's not so much pain, but you're just not sure where to start. You need a program designed for exactly where you are in YOUR fitness journey. There's always something we can do!! I'm excited to share these services with my clients!! My 1st online course ~ Strong & Healthy Back, opens up on Monday, Jan 25th! It's a 30-day all online "course" which is yours to keep and refer back to whenever you need it. Lots of great info about how the back works, how to keep it healthy, and of course - videos with a few simple moves you can do each day to increase the strength & flexibility of your back while pain. I received my first testimonial from my client, Christine! I've been seeing her regularly for massage for a year or so trying to manage her pain. I designed a specific plan just for her to address her pain and limitations/imbalances due to her lifestyle and she's been really pleased with the results! If you've been living with or trying to manage your back pain, this course was created for you! Hit me up with any questions.

Sign-ups open today and we start on Monday. On the fence? Think about all the time and money it takes to "manage" your pain. I see people every day shuffling between chiropractor visits, massage, muscle relaxers, tens units, & diminished activity levels ~ all due to ongoing back pain. I've created a simple, but effective and FUN course that will give you the tools you need to understand how your back works and what it needs to get & stay healthy! This is a beginner-le...vel course. There will be modifications for those who are unable to comfortably get down on the floor. Below is a testimonial from my client, Christine, who I worked with ~1 on 1 for 1 hour to create a specific plan just for her issues. What we will be doing in this course is taking 30 days to cover the entire back, a little bit at a time, with each area building off the other (so you can see how it all works together). Looking forward to working with you! See more

Excited for this course to open up Jan 25th! Something that hits me daily is how unnecessary back pain is. We don't have to live with it! There's usually a fairly simple reason for it. We're going to explore YOUR particular issue, and then learn how to combat it. You will log into your free Kajabi account to access this course at your own pace. 10 to 15 minutes a day is all you need to follow along.... I've combined everything I've learned through 20 years as a LMT, as well as my knowledge as a yoga, barre, fitness instructor and personal trainer to bring you this course. There will also be opportunities to "meet" online via Zoom to join me for some live classes (or you can watch the pre-recorded class) and Q & A time! Sign-ups are now open! If you still have questions, don't hesitate to reach out! #personaltraining #strengthtraining #flexibility #mobility #movementismedicine #themagicpill #stressrelief #painrelief #selfcare #yogafit #healthyback #coreworkouts #fitness #backpain #chronicpain #painmanagement #massagetherapy #posture #shoulderpain #lowbackpain #inspirewellnessstudio

Love this quote by Joseph Pilates! I've been making videos each week at Inspire to help people understand all the things they can do to improve their back health. I'm also offering a course~ Strong & Healthy Back, which opens up on Jan 25th (30 days- all online) for anyone wanting to take it deeper and really understand their back as well as how to heal back pain and improve strength & flexibility of the back and spine. Cost is $99 and you can take it at your own pace ...and refer back to it as often as you need to. So I felt inspired yesterday to put my thoughts together in this blog post. I guess I'm to the point where I can't "unsee it" as far as the beliefs we have in this country about back pain; what it is and how to deal with it.

Are you one of the lucky people who actually loves veggies?? If so, I hate you!!jk!! I have had to really WORK to find ways to get these suckers into my diet. I've experimented with roasting, steaming, dipping, you name it~ I've attempted to enjoy it or at least it!... 2 years into this journey and I'm happy to say with all honesty that they've grown on me. I've learned to take how I feel about them out of the equation because I know their health benefits far outweigh how I FEEL and I've got to truly find a way to get in the recommended servings each day if I care about things like living well, living into old age and such!! I know that I feel better when I'm getting in at least 2, 3 is even better and 4 would be outstanding (but rarely happens)! It takes time & patience to change our taste buds to crave healthier food! I enjoyed (and, yes I mean it) this cucumber, red pepper and carrot open-faced sandwich with red pepper hummus, salt & pepper today for lunch! Only way it could've been better is if I would've had a ripe avocado to mash on top!! I even said, "YUM!" after I ate it!? #whodis #ificandoitanyonecandoit #committoyourself #healthyeating #realfood #healthyfoodporn #eatgoodfeelgood #cleaneats

Getting to a place of peace with food has been an arduous journey. I've alternated between days of trying to restrict which would inevitably end in days of bingeing. Once I got the alcohol out of the way 5 years ago, I could finally start to do the work on my relationship with food. Because once one behavior goes away, there will ALWAYS be another substance or behavior ready & willing to jump into that hole left by your addiction (if you're not working a program of rec...overy). Your brain wants/needs to overdo it on something, anything and food is such an easy choice. I mean, we can't exactly avoid food. So figuring out how to eat well took some time and a lot of soul searching. I've had food on a pedestal all of my life. It really was there for me in any capacity whenever I needed to just forget about life. I could pull in literally anywhere and order some greasy food to make myself feel better. It was a fast -fix or a band-aid, if you will. *** As an addict, it also very much appealed to my impulsiveness and helped nurture my lack of planning~ 2 MAJOR behaviors I also had to look at. I won't go into all the details of how I finally realized that food was never gonna save me, not gonna heal me, and was not even meant to be a hobby or a past time. But there are programs out there that can help you to learn how to eat again or maybe for the first time. It IS a process; not gonna happen overnight. But, like anything else in life, if you stick with it, you will can peace & freedom around food. Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying eating all foods in moderation. I watch my portions and try to eat 80% real food ~ food with no labels (plants) or less processed (skip the white sugar & flour/boxed foods). I eat when I'm hungry and I understand hunger is not an emergency. I drink a lot of water and pack food with me everywhere I go. Try to be #dinneranddone after 6 p.m. See more
