A weekly 90 min massage and a weekly 45-60 min virtual session. 

A good option for folx who are returning to activity following illness, injury, surgery, or another enforced period of inactivity, frequently accompanied by discomfort and pain. This is also especially recommended for folks with chronic conditions who are working towards pain-free/pain-minimal daily activity.

Plan options:

STANDARD ACCESSIBLE PAY-IT-FORWARD

Monthly $500 $400 $600

12 weeks $1400 $1000 $1700

A monthly 90 min massage and a weekly 45-60 min virtual session (or vice versa).

A good option for folx who are returning to activity following illness, injury, surgery, or another enforced period of inactivity, frequently accompanied by discomfort and pain, who either don't require the additional massage or the additional attention in their training. This may also work well for someone who is either dealing with a new persistent pain or someone was dealing with a pain or injury that has been treated in Physical Therapy and has been discharged or could no longer get authorization.

Plan options:

STANDARD ACCESSIBLE PAY-IT-FORWARD

Monthly $350 $270 $430

12 weeks $900 $750 $1150

A monthly 90 min massage and a monthly 45-60 min virtual session. 

A good option for folx who were in one of the higher frequency plans and no longer need as much contact. Also good for folx who want a little more input from someone else to inform their workouts and physical activity, provide more structure, or get assistance in working towards a particular physical goal. This may also be a good fit for folx working towards an event or who participate in a sport. Generally, they may be satisfied with their overall level of activity, seeking some added guidance and accountability.

Plan options:

STANDARD ACCESSIBLE PAY-IT-FORWARD

12 weeks $525 $400 $650

A monthly 90 min massage and a quarterly 45-60 min virtual session. 

A good option for folx who were in one of the higher frequency plans and have confidence in their abilities--they mostly want accountability and someone else to customize the plan with the monthly massage. This may also be a good fit for folx who are working towards a performance event or are competing in a sport. Generally, they may be satisfied with their overall level of activity, seeking some added guidance or accountability.

No. If you have equipment, we can certainly incorporate it into your plan, but having equipment is not required--either at home or with a membership. 

Body weight exercises can be adjusted for greater intensity and difficulty. Sometimes DIY equipment may be handy (this could include turning old socks into a myofascial ball and making a "foam" roller out of old towels, or using a tote with books as a kettelbell and a full water jug in lieu of a medicine ball), but it's never required.

That'll be up to you, ultimately. Certainly training with a friend can make a physical training plan more appealing for some folks, but obviously not everyone enjoys that. 

I will host field days monthly (and if there's demand, 2x/month) which could include a range of activities like hiking together outdoors, visiting a museum, attending a market or craft show, and similar. Ideally, each field day will cater to a variety of skills and activity levels, but all will be accessible to daily-living-activities mobility programs.

It'll be your choice to have your program resemble a standard personalized training program or more of a narrative style, RPG-like quest. Either of these could pair with friends if you wanted them to. 

You might; I can't really say. That's not something I will specifically work on with you. 

Aside from the fact we have both pathologized and moralized fat and weight for specious reasons with little evidence (especially independent evidence that isn't directly tied to a product or some other way of making someone rich), it isn't usually relevant in movement and mobility and even when it is diet plans and nutrition are outside of my scope except for general information. 

I can help formulate plans with you to make sure your physical training coincides optimally with your eating schedule, because energy for training is critical, but I can't ethically recommend minimizing intake or restraint in eating habits. That would be irresponsible with the history of disordered eating in this country. 

No, a nutritional plan is outside of my scope of practice. I can provide general information about nutritional and energy needs for safely exercising, but if you want professional guidance about food, food safety, and food health I can recommend some options that are Queer-friendly, safe even for folks with a history of disordered eating, and has counselors to support folx who are neurodivergent. I will emphasize that it is important to have enough fuel for your activity and it is critical for your body to stay hydrated. I will also discuss when you want to fuel to make sure your body has what it needs to act. Again, unless we feel like it would be helpful for combating being tired or running out of fuel to complete your plan, then my emphasis will not be on what you're eating, though I am happy to discuss food in the context of a potential obstacle (i.e. being able to get adequate energy around the time you have available to workout or adjusting our plan to better coincide with when you do have energy), but not as a weight loss plan.

Then we probably need to adjust the plan. Either we need to make it more appealing, or source some ideas for making it more accessible with your life and needs. We can do this proactively--anticipating what might be obstacles and brainstorming how they can be overcome--and we can do it on the fly as you encounter difficulties. Remember we'll have a shared document for building and tracking your plan. Ultimately, if you aren't following your plan, then the fault probably lies with the plan more than you, or there is an aspect of the plan that conflicts with your other needs and time demands. I'm happy to help you identify what isn't working and suggest alternatives and I will do it with complete transparency and collaboration.

These are communal movement sessions held online, designed to provide community and movement with modifications and adaptations as available options. 

Field Days are movement days around Baltimore that include options for guided movement or your own thing with the opportunity to get together in community with others for movement and encouragement.

I can! it might require some research on my part to be sport-specific--I have my own personal sports faves and experiences--but we can absolutely work towards optimizing your sport-specific movement.

Yes. That is something we can absolutely work on, with the caveat that if you have a more severe injury I may refer you to a specialist. Otherwise, this is a big part of what I do as a massage therapist who is also a physical trainer.

I almost certainly can, especially if you've already made progress in your PT program, we can easily continue to build on that work and find ways to make the ongoing work accessible and accommodate your schedule and accountability needs without the continuous PT appointments you had previously.
