Resilient strength
Strength practices that are ready for life's challenges.
If you…
want to exercise but life has shifted a lot, and you can't find the time
want to build physical strength—but the idea learning how to build and follow a training plan feels really intimidating and hard
dread going to the gym and looking around, unsure of where to start because all of those free weights look terrifying and you don’t want to look stupid trying to figure out how to use the leg press machine
have overdone exercise in the past and are completely burnt out on it
feel inconsistent and stuck doing the same thing over and over (if you have to do one more squat you might scream) - you're frustrated and, dare we say, a little bored?
and you're tired of…
not knowing how to exercise according to your body's needs, like what to do on a day you feel like you’re dragging yourself around from fatigue vs a day you have a ton of energy
the inconsistency - doing way too much and wearing yourself to the bone or absolutely nothing at all
feeling like exercise is always just confusing, boring, or worse, painful
ignoring what your body + mind really need
Then let's do something about that.
then isn't it time you shift to….
Clarity
Getting clear on strategies that will keep you coming back to exercise week after week in a consistent and simple way.
strategies
Know how to manage exercise intensity, from low to high energy and everything in between. How to listen to your body’s needs and enjoy the process too.
recovery
A better understanding of rest and physical recovery, methods that work, and when to use them.
practical
Something that meets you where you are, with the equipment you have & in the time available to you. No muss. No fuss. No huge additional cost.
hi,
I’m
Michelle!
I'm a trainer, coach, educator and teacher of exercise, movement and yoga. My approach is to offer you practices to help support a thriving life, mind and body.
As a personal trainer and yoga therapeutic specialist I have spent years working with my clients in private sessions. I have watched my them go from tired, unfocused exercise and sporadic yoga practices to vibrant strength training, practicing yoga that they truly enjoy, and using recovery tools and techniques to support their exercise and overall wellbeing.
My Resilient Strength workshop offers you the information and strategies you would receive in a private training session, but in the comfort of your home. Not only will you experience resilient strength - you'll learn HOW to repeat and evolve this type of practice, learning tools and techniques and the WHY behind all this.
This approach works.
Become a resilient exerciser
Don't settle for feeling lost when it comes to strength and exercise practices. I'm here to share tools and strategies you can do with ease.
It’s not a challenge. It’s not a checklist. It’s not another thing you’ll feel guilty for skipping.
It’s simple, doable practices designed to help you improve qualities of physical fitness that last.
Tools that support your health throughout the week, not just at the edges of it.
No pressure. No perfection. Just a way back to yourself.
These tools will help you feeling
strong, energized and connected to your body and mind, especially when life throws you a curve ball.
This is what being a resilient exerciser is all about.

strength with ease
$45
75-minute workshop to give you strategies & practices that bring YOUR body + mind back to thriving.
Resilient strength
what do I need for this?
- an exercise mat if you're on a hard floor
- a set of light, medium and heavy dumbbells, kettlebells or resistance bands
- a notebook or training journal (analog or digital!)
- have some wall space available - if you don't have wall space, try to have a chair available to you.
how can I be ready for this? What if i'm not strong or don't have all these props?
You don't need to be super strong to get strong. The workshop is for “all levels” meaning, come as you are and you will learn how to adapt to your needs along the way.
Still want to feel ready? After securing your spot for the workshop, you’ll receive an email from me with ideas on how you can prepare to get the most out of our time together.
If you don't have all the props, no worries! Finding alternatives with items around the house is 100% okay (think - heavy laundry detergent bottle vs a dumbbell).
Come with questions! I'm happy to answer them.
It is strongly recommended that you are injury-free (or cleared by your medical provider to exercise) and are able to get down to the floor and back up again for exercise.
what specifically will we be doing?
Unlike a traditional “work out” this workshop will include movement, skills building, strategies and know-how and some time to reflect on how you're feeling. And yes there will be a Q&A at the end!
Be ready (and dressed) to move as we will have a warm up and some strength practices. The movement and why's behind specific movements will be interwoven. The actual workout won't be very long, nor tiring. It is built to leave you feeling uplifted and energized.
These easeful practices are engaging, meaningful, and dare I say fun? The final few minutes are for Q&As.
We will building body awareness, tissue resilience and stress reduction. You'll learn recovery practices that can be done after intense exercise or busy weeks!
what if I can't attend live?
I'm recording this and the workshop includes the playback! You'll have access to the video playback for 2 months to repeat and learn.
And everyone who attends will receive a pdf knowledge sheet with practices you'll be learning from the workshop.
Email any of your strength and exercise questions up to 24 hours before the workshop and I can answer them for the recording.
i have more questions!
Please email me those questions to [email protected].

knowing exactly what to do and why
“Michelle has a framework for teaching that is very flexible about what actually gets done based on what is going on in my body when I show up.
That is very much appreciated, and makes it easy for me to listen to my body and not be afraid.... these sessions are a must for me!”

"Since working with Michelle, I have more tools to help move my body depending on its needs at a given time. I am learning how to incorporate proper breathing patterns and body form into my daily and workout movements to help my body heal.
Now I have the tools to practice yoga in a calm, safe space as I heal!"

“Michelle's ability to combine mindfulness and movement in a rewarding and empowered way is one of the many reasons I train with her. She not only keeps things as simple as possible while getting maximum results, she's able to modify any exercise to accommodate my many injuries and limitations in real time as they come up.
If you're looking for real change with yoga, strength & exercise that meshes into your daily life rather than disrupts it, honestly, look no further.”
