An in-depth conversation on integrating therapy and personal training, healing from hustle culture, and building Unbothered Psychotherapy & Wellness.
"Being unbothered doesn't mean we're without feelings — it's about building a life worth living despite our challenges."
— Meagé Clements, LCSW-C · Voyage Baltimore
If you’ve ever promised yourself you’d “start fresh Monday”…
…only to lose motivation weeks later, you’re not alone. Traditional fitness programs often ignore the emotional side of exercise. Trauma-informed personal training blends movement with the same compassion, safety, and accountability you’d expect in therapy. It’s not about punishing your body. It’s about learning to move in ways that feel healing, empowering, and sustainable.
Ready to try something that actually sticks? Let's talk
Why This Works When Resolutions Don’t
Most exercise programs fail because they only focus on the physical. Trauma-informed training recognizes that mood, stress, and life circumstances directly affect your ability to stay consistent.
Here, training sessions feel like therapy and exercise all in one:
A safe space to move without judgment
Built-in emotional support for when motivation dips
A routine that honors both your nervous system and your goals
For People Who Have Tried Everything
This may be the right fit if:
You’ve struggled to stick with resolutions or workout plans
Gyms feel overwhelming or unsafe
Mood and stress make it hard to find motivation
You want the benefits of therapy and training, in one integrated space

FAQs on Trauma-Informed Personal Training
Is this therapy?
No, this is not therapy. While I bring a trauma-informed lens from my background as a licensed therapist, personal training is a separate service focused on supporting your body—not processing your past. That said, your emotional experience is always welcome here.
What’s the difference between the free consult and a paid session?
The free consult is a short, no-pressure call to explore your goals and see if we’re a good fit. The paid 90-minute strategy session is a hands-on, personalized experience where we create a movement plan tailored to your body, your nervous system, and your healing journey.
Do I need to be “fit” to start?
Not at all. You don’t need a certain body type, fitness level, or history with movement to begin. This space is for all bodies and all experiences—including if you’ve felt disconnected from movement for a long time. We go at your pace, with care and zero pressure.
What if I’ve had a complicated or painful relationship with movement?
You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why this space exists. Whether your past includes body shame, fitness trauma, or disconnection from your body, our work will center your comfort and consent every step of the way. There’s no “pushing through” here—just support for coming back to your body in a way that feels safe and empowering.
What equipment do I need?
Nothing fancy. A mat, resistance band, or a sturdy chair is plenty to start. We’ll work with whatever feels accessible and safe for you—including bodyweight-only options.
Are you certified as a personal trainer?
Yes. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I’m also a certified personal trainer with specialized training in nervous-system-informed movement. This means you’ll get care that’s not only emotionally attuned, but physically grounded and evidence-based.

5 Lessons I Learned in My Fitness Journey as a Trauma-Informed Personal Trainer and Therapist
Fitness has been a huge part of my life for years! I used to thrive in the world of fitness competitions and fitness challenges all while chasing peak aesthetics, rigid goals, and external validation. However, what began as empowerment slowly but surely turned into burnout. Looking through the lens of both a trauma-informed therapist and a personal trainer, I now understand just how deeply our relationship with our bodies is shaped by the narratives we’ve learned and how we can reclaim our relationships with our bodies/movement by rewriting them.
