When one is dealing with a chronic health condition, particularly one that is complex and may defy both conventional and natural medicine in many ways, it is easy to fall into the trap of despair from time to time. Although this is a natural and normal response to duress, it is not a place we want to allow ourselves to […]
Life is hard on the body! How we sit, sleep, move (and don’t move) can all cause areas of repeated stress on our body’s structure. If this stress is repeated often enough, collagen will start to accumulate and adhere to the tissue that is under stress. When I first started training, I was constantly loading forty-five pound plates on and off […]
Love…Love is action! It’s a way of being and a way of truly appreciating one another. It comes from our heart and soul. It smiles with an undeniable vibration, one that can be felt on opposite coasts and hemispheres. What actions are you taking to nurture the love you have for yourself and for everyone else in your life? Take […]
When creating personal training programs for our new clients in Nimble Fitness, one of the foundation principles for the Nimble way is training with INTENT. It’s one word that isn’t mentioned in most exercise or training programs. This is because it’s not the easiest to identify for many people and a bit challenging for me to even describe, even so, […]

What I’m about to say sounds crazy when coming out of my mouth, but here you go… As one of Nimble’s owner’s and Lead Coach, I have performed thousands of client assessments over the last twenty years! What’s so interesting about having the opportunity to look at so many people, intricately, is just how strikingly similar yet different we all are. How we think, breathe, eat, sleep and […]
YOU are a YES! You are inherently deserving of whatever it is you desire for yourself. My friend and colleague Mike Rizk, the creator of the Whole Person Project, shared this concept of “Yes-ness” with me while taking his online program this summer, at the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. The challenge for many of us is, from a very young […]
Being more mindful when you eat can help reduce cravings for sugar and carbs, decrease appetite and prevent overeating, improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, improve mood, heighten inner peace and feelings of well-being, make meals taste better and the act of eating a richer and more satisfying experience, and facilitate more connection with your spiritual source. It’s simple, practical, and […]

However, during these tough financial times, everyone is looking for an effective plan of action that won’t break the bank. Fortunately, there are many self-care strategies you can […]
In our quest to relieve anxiety and stress and elevate our health, balancing GABA and glutamate is a key component of the self-care plan.
