My talk on divorce and moving your body to get you in the present moment, was aired last week on Thrive After Divorce Show hosted by Lisa Fountain. She is driven to make change and build support during one of the most incredible stressful times of one’s life. I am honored to be a part of this where I can share strategies to help heal and deal with trauma.
I have some more articles in the works for the health and fitness magazines that I write for that discuss the mental side of health, training and competing as well as eating and attitude to food as athletes. It’s funny, life is pushing me more and more towards the mental/emotional aspect of health and I truly hope that my writings and my talks in my seminars can help everyone on their journeys. Stay tuned for my next published article on these topics and have a listen to my talk!!!
The past weekend I ventured to Colorado to teach a women’s workshops. I taught at Katharo Training Center. Thank you to Jen Hordinski for being such an amazing host.
The week prior I was in Los Angeles teaching another women’s workshop. Ladies form all over Cali came to enjoy the experience. Thank you to Legacy for opening your guy to me and for Lisette and Felina for hosting me.
It is so wonderful to be able to share technique and tips that work better for women in a male dominated sport. I find these women’s workshops such a good way for women to connect in a non competitive environment and to support each other. It is great too that we can tough on issues that only women experience as female athletes. #empoweredwomenempoweringwomen
I was blessed to experience so much snow!!!. For me being an Aussie, this is super novel. I really enjoyed the experience, but now I am ready for spring. lol
I was super honored to be one of 25 people as a guest speaker for the Thrive After Divorce Show, hosted by Lisa Fountain. My focus is about using movement as a tool to get through the trauma and to stay in the present moment. Anxiety comes about from being worried/fearful about the future or being stressed about the past. Always being in the present moment is very hard to do, but with tool such as exercise and mindfulness meditation, it is achievable.
Click here listen to me and all the amazing speaker to help give you some support if you are going through this. Its not easy and getting all the support you can is so important.

California babes!!!! I am heading over Sunday Feb 17, in 3 weeks to teach a women's workshop at Legacy Jiu-Jitsu Academy. I truly love teaching women’s workshops because I focus on techniques that work better for women and also i open the safe space up for discussions about all things BJJ and being a woman on the mat. I will also be touching on safe weight cutting, nutrition and straight training for BJJ athletes. My workshops are open to girls and ladies.
Check out my article just published in Jiu Jitsu World Mag that explains the 5 basic fundamentals for strength training for all those who are starting out in the gym who want to supplement their training to be fitter and stronger for BJJ. The focus is to maintain a balanced body and to focus on movement patterns that are best suited for performance athletes. Don’t get confused in the gym by all the equipment and fancy exercises that you see on IG. Keep it simple, yet effective an follow this as as a guideline.
Another shout out to one of the sponsors or facilitators for this camp! Featuring Jasmine Bienvenue who is the yoga instructor and who has held this position for all of my location camps!
