✨ Meet Shemiya Ruud, CCC ✨

It’s easy to lose yourself when life is busy caring for everyone else. Shemiya helps women reconnect with themselves while navigating parenting, relationships, and life transitions. She supports women through challenges like new parenthood, empty nesting, perimenopause and menopause, caregiver burnout, and relationship stress.

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—maybe after years of putting others first—Shemiya can help you understand how stress and past experiences affect your emotions, body, and relationships. This work helps you feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

With an extensive background in Marriage and Family Therapy, Shemiya helps women focus on their own well-being and self-care. By taking care of themselves first, clients often find they have more energy, clarity, and resilience to navigate relationships, parenting, and all of life’s challenges and transitions.

✨ We’re excited to share that Shemiya will begin taking clients here in March.
If you’re interested in working with Shemiya, you’re welcome to reach out at hello@shemiya.com to learn more or inquire about March availability.

With me, training isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about building real strength, discipline, and results that last.

Every client is unique, and so is their plan. Whether your goal is to boost fitness, tone up, or push past limits you never thought possible, I’ll design a program that challenges you while keeping your goals front and center.

Together, we’ll focus on:
✨ Proper technique
✨ Consistency
✨ Real progress

Because personal training isn’t just about the gym; it’s about building the strongest version of you. 🌟
