Meet our Founder, Ariel Wahl
Hi!
I am so happy you are here
Our body is the only place we will live for our entire life;
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.
While our body is a place we should call home, it’s all too easy to feel uncomfortable and disconnected from our bodies. I have experienced it for myself and have spent the past decade learning many fitness modalities and “best practices” to feel good, move better, and reach my fitness goals. It’s my job and my passion to help you do the same!
I believe that through daily movement and consistent massage therapy treatment we can ease regular aches, feel more confident & “at home” in our bodies.
My Philosophy
Movement is all that matters.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the “what?”, “why?” and “how?” of training, but really all that matters is that you are moving in a way that feels good and is interesting to you.
If you choose a movement because you think you should, but you actually hate that movement, then you’ll find every excuse under the sun to not do that movement. Why not do something you enjoy (even if it’s mild enjoyment to start)? Build a habit doing that one thing more often than you sit on the couch until eventually you have the strength and interest to find your next new challenge…!
Maybe I am oversimplifying, but I really believe it can be that easy! There will be hard work and dedication involved, but the process itself should be easy. Let me help you!
