through the postpartum stage.

years training clients in-person, but added online training
program options when the pandemic started.


Engrid’s personal history with an eating disorder and exercise
addiction, has helped her to develop a training model that
invites a deep appreciation and respect of the body.


Additionally her experiences with chronic pain due to trauma, has
given her immense compassion for her clients and an ability to
hold space for others.


Engrid's degree in Biology, her love of life-long learning, and
passion to understand human movement allow her to excel as a
trainer. She provides strategies that allow clients cultivate
deeper body awareness & move in a sustainable and joy-filled
way.

is for anyone who likes warm laid back chats with their besties,
about navigating life!
