Wow… sometimes you don’t realize how much you’re holding until you say it out loud.

There are some big shifts happening in my world right now, and we’re being really intentional as a family about grounding in what matters most while things evolve. Add in the holidays, the pace, the emotions, the expectations, and it’s a lot for anyone to carry.

And if you work in health and fitness, or the resort or service industry, this season ramps up fast. It’s so easy to pour into everyone else and forget that you also need support, structure, and space to breathe.

What I’m leaning into right now is this:
When life feels full, that’s the moment to stay connected to yourself, not drift further away.

No giant reset required.
No “new year, new me” energy needed.
Just one small choice that keeps you anchored.
One habit that reminds you that your well-being matters too.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone.

Take a breath.

Pick one thing that supports your energy.

And give yourself credit, you’re carrying more than most people can see. 💛

My health journey did start with weight loss…
but not the fun, empowering, “I love myself” kind.

More like:
➡️ “Punish yourself smaller.”
➡️ “Shrink to be worthy.”
➡️ “Try this new macro plan/booty blaster/waist-sculpting detox tea.”

You know… the usual BS. 💩🙃

And surprise, surprise, none of it stuck.

Because you can’t shame yourself into a healthy life.
You can’t “booty blast” your way out of a behavior cycle.
And no waist trainer has ever healed a single mindset wound.

The real transformation didn’t happen until I stopped falling for the noise, and started learning how behavior, identity, support, and self-awareness actually work.

THAT’S when things changed for good.
Not quick.
Not flashy.
But finally, sustainable.

If you’re ready to get off the gimmick carousel, I’ve got free resources that actually help you build habits that last.

I still have days when I catch my reflection and start to pick myself apart. It’s an old habit, one that showed up long before I ever learned to love movement for me.

But when that voice creeps in, I try to pause and remember:

This body has carried me through every version of my life.

It’s lifted weight I never thought I could lift, physically and emotionally.

It’s danced, trekked up mountains, taught classes, held my son, hugged my people, and gotten me back up after loss.

It’s breathed through stress, through joy, through grief, through growth.

It let me create, play, teach, climb, lift, stretch, laugh, and live a life I’m proud of.

And even of I don’t love how it looks all the time, it still shows up for me.

Having insecurities is human. But sometimes those insecurities make us forget what a miracle it is just to be alive, moving, feeling, experiencing, evolving.

So today, I’m choosing gratitude over criticism.

Not because my body is perfect…
but because it’s mine, and it’s done so much for me. ❤️

Everyone wants the hack.
The shortcut.
The dramatic before-and-after.
The thing that makes change feel fast, flashy, and exciting.

But the truth?
The stuff that actually transforms your life isn’t sexy at all.
It’s behavior change.
It’s the boring, consistent actions.
It’s the small wins repeated over and over.

When I first started coaching, I thought the science, the workouts, the nutrition advice would be the thing that changed people’s lives.
But I kept seeing the same thing:
➡️ Knowing what to do isn’t the problem.
➡️ Learning a new fact isn’t the breakthrough.
➡️ Weight loss is NOT the transformation.

The real magic happens when people understand how to change… their habits, their reactions, their identity, their belief in what’s possible.

And THAT is behavior change.
Not glamorous.
Not Insta-trendy.
But truly life changing.

If you’re tired of “starting over” and ready to build the kind of habits that actually last… I’ve got free resources to help you start strong.

Let’s make sustainable the new sexy.

Ever try to “logic” your way into a new habit? Same.

I used to think if I just understood the science, I’d magically stay consistent.

Spoiler: that’s not how most humans work. 😂

Real change doesn’t happen because we know more…
It happens because we’re supported better.

Because we feel seen, understood, and guided, not shoved into a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you’re tired of trying to DIY your health with info alone, I put together resources that actually help you build habits that stick.

🧠✨ Calm is contagious. I’ve got a story to share, one that started with a 4:30 a.m. flight, a missing ticket, and a whole lot of stress, and ended with a reminder about the power of empathy and connection.

This week’s Summit Stronger Newsletter dives into the science of breakdown, how empathy regulates stress, why calm spreads, and how connection might just be the most powerful wellness tool we have.

If these words hit home… you’ll want to read this one. 💙

One of my favorite classes from the last retreat was all about creative movement and play, and this photo captures that spirit so well. 🛝✨

After a beautiful hike, Julz and I stumbled onto a little playground while waiting for our ride. Put two movement practitioners in a free space and you know we’re going to explore.

That session (and this spontaneous moment) wasn’t about perfect form, chasing PRs, or nailing a pose. It was about being in your body.

✅ What do I feel?
✅ Where do I feel it?
✅ Can I shift something small and create a new sensation?
✅ How can I move for joy, curiosity, and connection — not just performance?

This kind of training is more than “fun”, it’s foundational.
It builds the mind-body awareness you need when you’re dropping into a powder line, moving through singletrack, or navigating a tough training cycle.

You know that flow state, when your brain quiets and your body just knows what to do?

This is how we practice for that.

Play is presence. And presence is power.
You don’t get flow by grinding harder, you get it by tuning in.

🧠 + 🏃‍♀️ = 💥 Mind-body connection > mindless motion.

CALL TO ACTION:
➡️ How can you bring more play into your movement this week?

Meet Coach Christine

I grew up playing competitive softball, and that is where my coaching journey began, coaching other girls in softball specific skills as well as on travel teams. Otherwise I gravitated towards solo alternative sports like skateboarding and snowboarding. Moving to Boston to attend college I captained the UMASS softball team as a catcher for four years as well as played volleyball. After graduating college with a Bachelor's degree in Art and English, I headed to New Hampshire with my husband, where I was camp director and head coach of a summer skateboard camp for several years. In search of a snowier lifestyle we moved to Lake Tahoe.

I always have had a profound love of animals and I worked as a veterinary technician for 8 years, where I furthered my innate passion for science and medicine. Going back to school to complete my prerequisites to apply to Veterinary school I had an epiphany after taking an exercise science class one quarter on a whim. THIS is was my true passion! I changed direction at school and completed my personal training certification from Lake Tahoe Community College where I also studied nutrition, kinesiology, exercise prescription, injury prevention, stress reduction and meditation, and more. I took every health, fitness and wellness class I could fit in my schedule and participated in a training internship at the college fitness center. After completing school I went on to become a certified personal trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine, and earn certification in Aqua Barre, TRX training, and Progressive Calisthenics. I consider myself a lifelong student, and am dedicated to ever expanding my knowledge and practice in health and fitness. I am currently studying for my Level 1 Precision Nutrition Certification, and this year I plan on earning my SCW Functional Exercise Certification as well as my XPT (Performance Coaching) Certification.

Over the years after graduating I worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor in several facilities, then in 2014 I became a Mom, and opened my own personal training and small group fitness facility. In 2018 I partnered my training center with a circus arts studio, and we now co-habitate a lovely performance and training space together. I love a new challenge and will try any type of movement from acro-yoga to trail running, I compete in obstacle course racing, and play on a WFTDA ranked Roller-derby team, which I founded in 2013, I love roller skating! Now I spend my days training, and working with my in person and LadyBoss clients from my facility or spending time with my family playing around Lake Tahoe from the snow covered slopes in the winter to the beach in the summer.

My motto is “Grit and determination", as nothing I have came easy, nor was I ever just “good" at anything when I started out. I’ve worked hard for everything I have achieved, and I want to share that passion and drive with you! I hope to inspire the joy of movement in all people in order to live their best lives!​ I can't wait to get to know and work with you!
