FAQ

  • What certifications do you have?

    I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant/Licensed (COTA/L), and CPR certified through the American Heart Association. These certifications, along with my experience in dance and caregiving, shape my holistic and client-centered approach to movement and wellness.

  • Where are sessions held?

    Sessions are available at my Leicester-based location, in connected local Asheville studios, online, or in-home depending on the service.

    For in-home sessions, a travel fee applies based on location to account for travel time, mileage, fuel, and related expenses. Locations farther from the Asheville area may require an additional travel fee, calculated using the most direct route. Rates may vary based on distance and current travel costs.

    If you're outside my usual service area, reach out anyway—I may be able to accommodate, meet at a central location, or offer a virtual option.

  • How do I book a session?

    To book a session, please contact me directly. Payment is due at the time of service.

  • How will I receive my workouts?

    How will I receive my workouts?

    After we’ve gone through movements together in person, clients who book packages or ongoing sessions may receive customized workouts through a training app designed to support long-term progress and tracking.

    If you prefer not to use the app, your plan can also be provided as a detailed PDF document.

    Clients receiving standalone programs will receive a detailed PDF.

  • Do I have to book sessions weekly?

    To receive standard pricing, sessions are typically scheduled consistently—weekly, bi-weekly, or more frequently—unless discussed prior. This structure supports consistency, progression, and meaningful long-term results.

    Single sessions or travel/drop-in bookings are available at $110/session. This rate reflects the flexibility and additional preparation involved in offering one-time sessions outside of an ongoing training structure.

    Clients who maintain a consistent schedule are considered active clients and may receive additional support between sessions, including optional check-ins to help track progress, adjust goals, and maintain momentum.

    I aim to support each person in a way that fits their life while maintaining a sustainable structure that allows me to provide high-quality, personalized care.

  • Do you work as a COTA or caregiver through Mountain Blossom Movement?

    No, I don’t practice as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) or professional caregiver under Mountain Blossom Movement because providing those licensed services would be outside my professional scope. However, I bring many of the values and tools from that background into my work—especially when it comes to supporting functional movement, adapting to individual needs, and approaching care through a holistic, person-centered lens.

  • Are you a weight loss personal trainer or a nutritionist?

    I’m not a weight loss–focused trainer, and I’m not a licensed nutritionist. I focus on building strength, improving mobility, and supporting sustainable, feel-good movement practices that support your overall well-being and how you want to move through life.

    I don’t align with diet culture or approaches that prioritize shrinking or changing the body as a primary goal. We don’t need to make ourselves smaller in order to exist, take up space, or be supported in our bodies.

    If body changes happen, they are a natural byproduct of consistent movement and care—not the focus of my work. My approach is centered on strength, connection, and sustainability over aesthetics or weight outcomes.

  • Do you offer packages or one-time sessions?

    Both. You can book individual sessions or purchase packages for consistency and progress. Packages can be purchased directly through me, and each will have a clearly communicated expiration date to help support your commitment and growth.

  • Do you work with or refer to other healthcare or wellness professionals?

    Yes! I value teamwork and holistic care. I’m fortunate to have a community of trusted practitioners—including acupuncturists, massage therapists, herbalists, and more. If you’re interested, I can connect you with these local experts who offer adjunctive support. Please note that these referrals are not for medical diagnoses or treatment, but for holistic wellness options within their scopes.

  • What is your refunds, cancellations & expiration Policy?

    All purchases are final and non-refundable, including packages, custom programming, Movement Guides, and scheduled services. Sessions and packages must be used within their listed expiration dates. A minimum of 12 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling; late cancellations may result in the loss of session credit.

    Clients are encouraged to ask questions before purchasing to ensure the service is the right fit for their goals.

  • What are Movement Guides?

    Movement Guides are digital workout plans designed to support your strength, mobility, and movement goals. Options include Custom Movement Programs, which are personalized based on your goals, experience, equipment, and movement needs, as well as Ready-to-Use Movement Plans created for independent use. All Movement Guides are self-guided programs and do not include 1:1 coaching, movement assessments, or ongoing support.
