Wanna learn stuff about your body instead?
Organic Fitness is for every woman who wants to love their body & their life... at the same time...
...and good luck with that if you're part of the cliterati, right?!(aka: female identify folk)
In every field of study, male bodies are the overwhelming majority. Why? Because female hormones...
screw up the data (?!)
“We literally know less about every aspect of female biology compared to male biology.”
~Dr Janine Austin Clayton, associate director for women’s health research at the United States National Institutes of Health
“It defies logic for researchers to acknowledge gender difference by claiming women’s hormones can affect study results, but then to ignore these differences, study only men, and extrapolate the results to women.”
~ Outrageous Practices (1994), Leslie Laurence and Beth Weinhouse
This is just one aspect of why you struggle with feeling good enough in your body. Don't worry... there's more :)

Fitness for healing
It's time to break up with traditional fitness and diet culture.
This is Organic Fitness.
...aren't we all still a little traumatized over the whole bleeding every month thing? And then it ends with a shit show of hot flashes and weight gain.
Or the horror of finding out there's only so much kegels can do for pee control after childbirth.
And isn't it time equality caught up to fitness?? Did you know fitness research has never considered how a monthly cycle might affect fitness for women?
Plus the things so many of us never say out loud, or even admit to ourselves, about abuse or trauma or depression or anxiety and how it has shaped our life... our choices for our body from what clothes to wear to who & what we allow inside us... our beliefs about what our bodies are capable of.
Sometimes life impacts us in ways people can't see
At least one in three women have experienced abuse; many more have experienced trauma. Would it help you to know that these things make changes to your brain structure and your nervous system?
Meaning if you have felt like you couldn't connect or respond to fitness the way everyone says you should, you aren't broken... your body and mind are simply doing what they were designed to do and are protecting you.
You can heal the hurt you have suffered. Mental health focused fitness practices create a sense of safety and trust with your body.
Organic Fitness masterclass
Science has known that women's bodies work differently than men's for years, but this is the first time in history that we are applying that knowledge to fitness
If you struggle with feeling successful and getting beyond body image, Organic Fitness will turn things around almost like magic

When you learn to listen to your body, it tells you everything you need to survive and thrive.
This is a fitness system designed to flow with the natural rhythms of a woman. A female body makes beautiful shifts throughout her cycle and throughout her life. Let me share how you can empower yourself so that you never have to beat, twist, shove, or force your body into someone else's version of fitness again.
Learn to listen to your body, map your cycle, (even if you are no longer menstruating), and move in tune with your body. Each phase of your cycle has strengths that physically change what your body is capable of and you can utilize that IF you know what is happening.
...at certain times of the month your metabolism will literally be 7-8% higher or lower!
Have a question I haven't answered? Watch the training and then contact me. I'd love to hear from you.
Who should practice Organic Fitness
Women. Period.
I firmly believe in everyone having choices and freedom to design their own life, so whatever form of fitness you do, make sure it works for your body AND your mind.
The beautiful thing about Organic Fitness is that the principles of it can be applied to virtually any style of workout you do.
A lot of what I teach in here is based on the natural hormonal cycle females experience, but there is more to the female experience than just hormones.
If you are transgender or identify as female, but do not get a period, I'm open to understanding how I can apply these principles more inclusively.
Disclaimer: while men will not follow a hormonal cycle the same as a woman, there is nothing to stop men from learning to listen to their bodies!
Why have I never heard of this before?
Right?!
It’s not like women’s bodies are new to the planet.
Simply because it is only starting to be considered and talked about. As human’s, we have a tendency to stop questioning things we think we already know.
Have you ever heard of the Gender Data Gap? I did a two part podcast of how this lack of data about female bodies affects everything from your phone apps to your fitness.
I'll include a link in your welcome email
Now that we know better, we can do better.
Does birth control change anything?
Ummmm YES!!
If we are talking about hormonal birth control pills, there is a lot you should know that your doctor has probably never told you.
Like those pills don't manipulate your hormones, they shut them off. And that estrogen your body is no longer getting, affects your body's ability to build bone density.
I have no interest in telling you what is best for your body, but I am passionate that you have all the info you deserve about your body.
However, if we ignore the hormonal principles of Organic Fitness, everything else will still apply and work for you.
