I love Paula. Paula is a remarkable woman with an open mind and a warm heart. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her at @rivervalleyclub and am excited for her to continue her movement journey after 10 strong months together ♥️ Swipe to see this badass in action! 💪
.

Paula left these words to share her experience with me. Thank you, Paula. I am grateful! 🙏🏽 .

. “ I have been training with Abby for ten months and I’m very happy about all the progress I’ve made. My strength, flexibility, balance and knowledge have all increased beyond my expectations. ❤️ Abby is very knowledgeable and great at explaining the how and why of different movements.
❤️
Years ago I injured my shoulder and have been fearful of causing more damage. Abby’s fun and interesting workouts have strengthened my shoulder and body too. Ive been pleased and surprised several times by successfully performed movements that I had been sure I couldn’t master. It was good to be proven wrong. Training with Abby is an empowering and joyful experience.” - Paula L. January 2019

The other day I was speaking to a woman and she was telling me about her daughter. She mentioned that her daughter had made some cards and that she was very artistic. As she was reaching for her phone to show me pictures of the cards I said, “Oh, your daughter has autism?” I thought I heard her say “autistic” when she said “artistic”.
.
She giggled in disbelief and said, “Haha, no way. My daughter is in medical school. She isn’t autistic.” 🤯
.
I froze. I didn’t know how to respond to her insensitive comment. I do not remember if she knew that my son had Autism or not, to me it didn’t matter whether or not she knew. Her words hit me like 1,000 spears in the eye and I wanted to punch her in the throat. 😡 Like WTH is that funny to you? .
You know what I did? Nothing. I did nothing. I was so shocked that I just stood there and said nothing. I did not advocate for my son or for those with Autism. And it haunts me that I didn’t do anything. I felt like I had failed my son, parents with children who have ASD, and for those who have Autism. .
I don’t really know what my point is in this post other than taking a moment to remind you (and myself) that words matter and how they land on the person you are speaking to matters, even if you didn’t mean to hurt them. It also means that there is still a lot of advocating and education (and people taking the time to LEARN about ASD) that needs to be shared because, guess what asshole! My son could go to medical school and become a heart surgeon, or maybe he will be an astronaut, or a poet, or even a fire fighter! He could save your life one day!
.
I recognize my lack of advocacy and am sorry for not standing up in the face of ignorance. Next time I will speak up and advocate better for my son and all the special people like him.💙 #autismawareness #asd #autismmom #autismacceptance

My mission is to help humans move more and well so they can live a healthy and joyful life that aligns with their truth ⭐️ .

I recently resigned as Team Instructor (for personal and professional reasons) for @movnat. As much as I appreciate the education about natural movement and how to implement more of it in my training, with my clients, and in my life, I have come to point in my life to say goodbye. .
I have been quiet lately here on IG because I am in a pivotal phase of personal and professional transition and growth. What I do next is a reflection of the past 12 years working in the fitness industry and my core values coming together. What is coming next is a result from deep wounds of pain and betrayal, and the ongoing lessons of motherhood. What is coming next is an act of service and passion that is rooted in my core values and vision for humanity, our Earth, and our future. It’s scary, it feels undeserving, and it’s effing vulnerable. Sounds like it’s exactly what I need to do. 😉
.
What comes next isn’t just about me. It’s about you. It’s about community, service, and empowerment. .
I’ve been collaborating with @vitalgaitway about Sustainable Movement and our offerings to you. What would you like to learn from me and Christine aka the Psoas Whisperer? We have lots of exciting ideas we are tossing around but want to check in and hear from you too!
If you aren’t on my newsletter, sign up for it in my bio. I’ll be sending out more details about Sustainable Movement and my collaboration with Restorative Exercise Specialist, Christine Altman.

Sound on!
Talk about eye and hand coordination lol. I was literally sweating bullets trying to get the Cups song down. Hell ya! Anyone else try this? 🤷‍♀️
.
In all seriousness, taping into different expressions of creativity has helped me so much during my healing process. It pulls you into the moment and allows you to unleash your inner self, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. Dance. Sing. Play an instrument. Write. Draw. Paint. Cook. Bake. Do you mama. ♥️
Move baby, move. 💃🏼 #cups #pitchperfect #momlife #creativity #bepresent #cupsong #annakendrick #dididoitright? #femininebadass

Connecting to nature. Connecting to my creativity. Connecting to living. Connecting to calm. Connecting to the moment. ❤️ Disconnecting from the busy. Disconnecting from the anxiety of the past and the worry of the future. Disconnecting from the distractions that disconnect me from my higher self.
Damn, it feels good to play with clay again. The BEST gift from my honey. More ME time 🌟

Shoulder exercises with a side of butternut squash kisses 😘 (p/c from one of my clients)
I went to see a therapist and had to bring my son because I had no childcare at the time. I needed help and didn’t want to cancel the session. I called and asked if it would be alright to bring my son and the receptionist said that it’d be ok and sounded sympathetic to my situation. When I showed up for my session I sat in the waiting room with my son. .
The therapist opened her door and the first thing she said was, “What is he doing here?” I explained my situation and that I had called. She sighed and said, “Just this once, then you need to figure it out.” .
This hurt and frustrated me. Here I was seeking help as a single mom and the therapist showed no empathy nor did she help me navigate options for childcare while in sessions. She just told me to figure it out.
.
One of my missions as a coach is to hold space for mothers and caregivers who do not have accessibility to childcare and are TRYING to do something for themselves. I am here to help you overcome obstacles and to support you! Denying someone therapy because they have no childcare is not support and it’s not community. .
I am with you mamas. I feel you. And your babes are always welcome to join in our sessions! I have a dream of my own healing space and this will be an integral part of my mission. There will always be a safe space for you and your kiddos. ❤️ #supportmothers #moveyourdna #movetheirdna #movement #fitmoms #momlife #naturalmovement #sustainablemovement #womenempowerment #shoulderhealth #ribsdown

Giving back to Mother Earth is a practice that I haven’t been doing recently and I’ve felt the disconnect from her. .
This morning I went on a solo hike in the woods along a river to reconnect. I sat and listened. Silence and stillness have become powerful teachers for me. After soaking in her beauty and unconditional love, I gave back. I brought with me a special buckskin pouch made and used by the wife of a Native American, Red Bird, whom I met while living in NM and gifted me this pouch. Red Bird is the drum maker (you can see and support him and his families work at www.eagledrums.com) who made the drums many ask about that I have in my living room. He lives on the Cochiti Pueblo Reservation where he invited me and my son into his home. Inside the pouch (medicine bag) his wife had put in cornmeal. Cornmeal is a common gift used as an offering to Mother Earth. 🙏🏼 .
We take so much from Mother Earth. We demand so much and take her for granted in the process. Today I invite you to join me (even if you can’t get outside) to give thanks to her and to sit in stillness surrounded by the pure essence of her beauty and everything she provides us with. 🙏🏼🌟🌸 We are nature and nature is us. 🤗

This weekend was brilliant. Goddesses from all over the world came together to celebrate our teacher @sierrabender and her new 4BodyFit Institute in Saint Petersburg. We danced, we connected and communed with Mother Earth, we shared our stories, our struggles, our celebrations. We cried. We laughed. We hugged, we sang in a circle of true inclusive sisterhood. We shared our medicine, we empowered each other to go home and continue to do the work and get to work. Because empowered women empower women. My heart is full of gratitude for this special group of women. 🙏🏼 I was able to be vulnerable and supported by these women, Great Spirit, and Mother Earth and now I feel so inspired. I feel inner calm. I floated in the ocean and purified my soul, weeping, and allowing Mother Earth to hold me as I surrendered in her ocean. SISTERHOOD. MOVEMENT. NATURE. ☀️❤️🙏🏼 This is my community and I am so freaking grateful. We are warriors, teachers, healers, mothers, doctors, therapists, creators, writers, lovers, givers, and all daughters of our great Mother Earth 🌍I love you. I see you. I hear you. I am you and you are me.i am because you are.
Thank you Sierra for your teachings, compassion and your big dream to help women step into their power. Go to her site (4bodyfitinstitute.com) to learn more about her work and our community of amazing womxn. 💛 #goddessup #dance #zumba #sisterhood #togetherwearestronger #empoweredwomen #femininebadasses
