Now Hiring (and Willing to Train the Right Person)
📍 New Moon Mindful Movement | Elmwood Commons

I’m looking for the right person to join New Moon — and you don’t need to be fully certified yet.

This is a part-time position, with availability needed mornings and some evenings.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Lift weights on your own or work with a trainer
• Believe strength training is essential as we age
• Want to work with middle-aged and older adults (45+)
• Care about community and relationship-building
• Feel inspired by helping people stay strong for travel, gardening, paddling, skiing, pickleball, grandkids — real life

New Moon is rooted in Soft Strength — mindful strength training that blends coordination, mobility, progressive load, and body awareness. Our clients are active adults who want to feel capable and resilient, not intimidated or pushed past their limits.

If you’re curious, coachable, and aligned with this philosophy, I will support you as you pursue certification and train you in the New Moon model.

This is not a big-box gym.
Sessions are small.
We know people’s names.
Progress is meaningful, not flashy.

What you’ll receive:
• Competitive pay
• Access to studio classes
• Mentorship and support toward certification
• Ongoing training in the New Moon model
• Use of studio equipment and space

I’m not looking for the perfect resume.
I’m looking for integrity, warmth, and a genuine belief that aging can be strong.

If this feels like you — send me a message and tell me why.

New Moon Mindful Movement is open today.
As a very small, micro-business (just me and a few folks teaching one class a week), closing for the day isn’t financially possible.

That said, I stand in solidarity with the National Shutdown and with everyone willing to put their bodies, livelihoods, and safety on the line to demand an end to the occupation of our cities by masked men and the erosion of basic civil rights.

We can hold care for our communities and the realities of survival at the same time.

The last two weeks in Minnesota have been frightening. And it matters far beyond Minnesota.

We’re watching DHS and ICE operate in ways that are illegal and deeply dangerous: masked agents, unmarked vehicles, people detained or taken without clear cause, and violence directed not just at immigrants, but at American citizens exercising their right to assemble. This kind of terror ripples outward.

Here in Buffalo, we have yet to see the same level of violence, but we are not untouched. Our neighbors have been threatened, and some have been taken. The fear is real, and we must be prepared for this to escalate.

Buffalo is home to a vibrant immigrant community. People here come from Somalia, Myanmar (Burma), Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Central America, and beyond. These are our neighbors, coworkers, business owners, and friends. Most of us are only a few generations removed from immigration ourselves. My own family history includes multiple forced removals and the destruction of an entire branch of my family tree by fascists in Europe. This is not abstract.
This is hard. It’s scary. And it’s not going to be easy.

But we will get through it, and we will win. In the meantime, we need to protect and support each other.

That includes supporting small businesses, which will be hit first and hardest when daily life is disrupted. Keeping local businesses alive is part of keeping our communities alive.

And it means staying strong — physically and psychologically. Community matters right now. At New Moon Mindful Movement, we’re building a space where people can come together, stay grounded, and support one another through uncertain times.

We don’t get through moments like this alone.

We get through them together. ❤️

From a distance, the river looks smooth and powerful.
But beneath the surface, so much is shaping how it moves.

That image stays with me when I think about movement.

Flowing movement can feel wonderful... rhythmic, graceful, almost effortless when everything clicks. There’s something deeply satisfying about moving continuously, breath guiding motion, one shape melting into the next.

But sometimes, especially in January, when our bodies may feel colder, stiffer, or a little more tender, moving too quickly can cause us to miss what’s underneath. When the “water” stays high, we glide right over habits, restrictions, or patterns that quietly influence how we move.

In the body, what lives beneath the surface often includes coordination patterns, breathing habits, strength imbalances, and the way the nervous system responds to effort, stress, or pain. These aren’t things we notice when we’re rushing, but they have a powerful impact on how strong, steady, and confident movement feels over time.

Soft Strength℠ isn’t about stopping the flow or breaking it apart.
It’s about slowing the current just enough to explore what’s shaping it — building strength, mobility, and coordination in a way that supports the body rather than overriding it. When these underlying pieces are tended to, flowing movement often becomes more available, more resilient, and more sustainable.

This is also where Muscle Mending℠ fits in. When the body has been holding tension, guarding against pain, or carrying fatigue, slowing down even further allows the nervous system to soften and reset. Muscle Mending℠ helps clear what’s been piling up beneath the surface, so strength and movement don’t feel like something you have to push for, but something you can return to.

January doesn’t ask us to rush.
​
It invites steadiness, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for what’s already here — trusting that when we honor what’s beneath the surface, moving with strength and confidence becomes possible again.
