Welcome to the heart centered, science based, whole body

alignment and movement makeover journey! 

This is the ultimate guide to truly evolving and transforming your body over time,

through Restorative Exercise, whole body alignment, experiential anatomy, shifting habits, and changing your environment.

It's a WHOLE BODY and WHOLE LIFE approach to change that sticks.

It's "How to Thrive in a Human Body" 101.

It's a deep foundation for whole body knowledge that I wish EVERYONE knew!

And now it's all online ready for you on your time. 

Just imagine:

• You feel connected, strong, and even powerful in your own skin.

• Your body is no longer something that gets in your way. It is a new found ally that is ready to help you experience life to the fullest.

• You feel more energized, embodied, and fully present.

• You have a new relationship with movement that’s more of a “want to” or built in rather than a “have to”.

• You have a clear understanding of what YOUR body needs and how to best fit that in to YOUR life.
  
  

  The Alignment & Movement Makeover program is all about finding a new and better way to exist in your body… all the time - not just on the mat.

 

I’ve had success over the years, working with PTs and personal trainers, focusing on targeted areas….but those rather “ended” when the issue was resolved. ALIGN is the “complete package” as it incorporates all body structures and functions, core work, breath and alignment which one can carry with them throughout the day.

In this online course you will--

• Learn your unique pain and tension patterns, what daily habits might be causing them, AND how to unravel and release them.

• Rebuild your movement practice from scratch to reduce pain and wear and tear, and improve performance.

• Learn how to uncover your body’s effortless and easeful alignment and get back to stacking your bones.

• Stop just putting a bandaid on all the parts, and rebuild the whole thing from the ground up and from the inside out.

• Find space IN your body and FOR your body through the busy and overwhelm of daily life.

• Gain the confidence you need to be the expert of your own body, care for it well, and navigate many different movement modalities.

Before ALIGN, I felt like my back pain would never fully go away. Now I feel like I have a path towards more optimal functioning and less (hopefully, no) pain. Before ALIGN I thought posture was just about rolling my shoulders back, now I feel it more three dimensionally and can understand how to relieve or understand pain when I have it. Before ALIGN, I felt stuck—there were ways of using my body that I just gave up because of pain (floor sitting, running). I felt middle aged and that this was the beginning of the end. Now, I feel equipped to ease into movements I had avoided, and regain functionality.

Who is this program for?

• You've been feeling disconnected, stuck, or limited in your movements.

• Your current routine or program is missing something or leaving you hurting more than feeling good.

• You are looking to rebuild and reconnect to your core and pelvic floor. 

• You are looking for a deeper understanding of your own body.

• You feel your posture is “off” or it always feels like “work” to sit up or stand up straight.
• Your body has been through surgery, birth, menopause, cancer treatment, or another major transition, and it just hasn’t felt the same since.
• You are very aware of years of stress accumulating in your body, and you are starting to feel the effects of aging.
• Pain or limited mobility keeps getting in the way of your favorite movement adventures.
• You are feeling the common aches, pains, and stiffness of the "office body".

How can movement transform your body?

You are how you move! If you can change the way you move (your habits and environment), you can change the shape and feel of your body and change the wear and tear of your joints.

Restorative Exercise then becomes the missing link that helps your new way of moving seep into your everyday life. If you want your body to make real changes, you have to look at what it is doing all day every day- not just the one hour you are “practicing” or exercising.

This is where the real magic happens!

Before ALIGN, I felt overwhelmed - that what I did to alleviate back pain was just a bandaid. Now, I understand how small actions can accumulate into large progress, and in just 8 weeks I’ve seen major changes in my ability to better align and move my body by incorporating many small things into my day.

I knew that ALIGN would be a great guide to moving in more efficient ways. I was looking for the reinforcement of what I was already learning with Zoe. What I actually found was so much more. We started with the pelvis which was my main issue and so right off the bat I was able to create much more space and ease of movement in that region. The result was that the vertebrae that had been out of alignment in my mid-back had room to find its correct alignment and my entire back moved better than it did in years...no more pain or discomfort in my body.
