Wellness That Pays: fewer sick days, lower costs, higher performance

I have been athletic my entire life and have maintained a fairly strict workout regimen which included trainers and nutrition guides. I went through phases with my training once I became pregnant as your routine changes. I worked with a certified pre and post natal trainer during my pregnancy and after my pregnancy. It is only until I suffered a completely avoidable shoulder injury during one of my workouts post birth that I decided to switch trainers- I wanted someone with a less aggressive approach while still being results driven- I was eager for that mind-body connection and felt I never really had that. I began a fitness and meditation program with Ashley and within the first month, I noticed differences in my body I hadn’t seen before. She was the first trainer to address my posture issue which was largely due to my pregnancy and was causing me constant pain and discomfort. I also had a bad case of abdominal separation which I had been working on with another trainer for almost a year and did not see progress. With Ashley, within a few weeks there was significant improvement. Her workouts are always different and most importantly fun- anything but routine and what you see on the internet and social media. She is entirely original and her style is appealing- you don’t have to kill your self in a workout to achieve what you want. Which was NOT my mentality before because I was told something so different. I was the opposite until I saw my body changing. Every movement I had learned over the years while working out, I had to re learn, because I had been taught to utilize muscles that were unnecessary to maximize results and left me with persistent discomfort. In addition to the workouts we do, incorporating the meditation made for the perfect formula. When you are connected to your body through meditation, the body’s response to exercise and stress of any kind js incredible. I truly feel meditation is responsible for my ability to handle stress more effectively and whatever life throws at me. I look forward to being able to say I have mastered my meditation practice- I truly believe it is the natural solution to so many, if not ALL of the issues we face. Thank you Ashley for starting me on the path to what I know will be a successful and very fulfilling fitness and mind journey.
