Providing clients with a fun, safe
A Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist Who Actually Personalizes Your Training
Hi, I’m Rebecca! As a woman who’s overcome some pretty challenging obstacles on her way to physical wellness, I can tell you two things with certainty:
It is absolutely possible.
That journey doesn’t need to be a lonely one!
But, finding the right kind of support along the way isn’t always a breeze. This is especially true if you’re facing chronic illness or living with physical issues/past injuries that makes even everyday routines tougher than they once were.
That’s why everyone deserves a coach in their corner who understands their individual needs and is willing to adapt to them, not dismiss them. Through professional training and personal experience, I’m here to help you get over the hurdles preventing you from taking control of your own body.
Rebecca is an intuitive, compassionate, and fun trainer! She’s helped me gain strength and confidence, and my clothes fit so much better. I also love that I actually look forward to working out because I leave feeling so energized and entertained. In a nutshell, Rebecca rocks! – Sonia Q
Movement Therapy That Match YOUR Physical Needs
You stay busy. You work hard. You are a mover and shaker in your family, company, or community. That’s great!
Sometimes it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself as much as you’re taking care of other priorities, though. Even day-to-day activities can add up to create stress in subtle ways, a price your body ultimately has to pay. And if you happen to be struggling with a physiological disorder, battling back from an injury, or otherwise going toe to toe with unique physical challenges, the road to relief can be even windier.
Don’t worry, that’s what I’m here for! Based on a full needs assessment up front, I customize a program to your individual goals. That may be building muscle and bone strength, eliminating pain, overcoming chronic health conditions, or simply increasing confidence and self-esteem.
You receive my full attention in the form of 1-on-1 sessions in my studio. Not in the Houston area? No problem! I also offer live private online training for many of these services so you can work out from the comfort of your own home no matter where you live. A sampling of my offers includes:
Personal Training
Includes bodyweight exercises, weightlifting, resistance bands, and stability balls. As a certified personal trainer, I constantly make sure proper form is used to maintain exercise effectiveness while avoiding injury. If it doesn’t work for you, we drop it!
Corrective Exercise
Includes exercises for those who want to improve their posture and correct muscular imbalances to build strength while alleviating pain. I’m here to help you understand your functional movements and body mechanics as we achieve healthier muscles and joints!
Myofascial Release
Includes stretching and trigger-point release to alleviate pain and muscular imbalances. Gentle pressure applied in the right ways helps to restore motion. Connective tissue restrictions don’t always show up in X-rays, CAT scans, or other tests, so it helps to work with someone who knows what to look for!
CranioSacral Therapy
Includes a gentle, touch-based release of tension in the tissues surrounding the central nervous system. Some of the most important parts of your body are the brain and spinal cord, so making sure the membranes that protect and nourish them are in good shape goes a long way!
Massage Therapy
Includes various forms such as advanced Swedish and ACE Massage Cupping to help target problem areas in the body. As a licensed massage therapist, I offer this both as a standalone service and as a therapeutic tool alongside other exercise programs. I want you to feel great walking out that door!
Rebecca creates a safe and supportive environment, personally tailoring a program based my needs and abilities. Her comprehensive approach to training focuses on your whole being, not just physical strength and appearance. My attitude towards fitness and my body has completely changed. I no longer dread a mirror or scales, and for the first time in my life I actually look forward to working out. Thanks to Rebecca, I’m on my way to lifelong health, both inside and out. – Judi S
Your Health Is My Business, Your Wellbeing Is My Mission
Finding genuine fitness support is sometimes easier said than done. Yes, you need a trainer. But you also need a problem solver. And often you need a confidant as well.
In fact, it was my difficult search for a trainer who understood my unique challenges and could build a program tailored to them—not in spite of them—that inspired me to become this very solution for others in the same boat! More than a decade later, I’m combining professional training with personal experience to help women like you overcome their own obstacles in ways others can’t. That’s how I got dubbed the name Auto Immune Trainer :) Having learned to manage my Auto Immune and Joint Hypermobility / EDS with movement strategies has been a key asset in my health journey.
In walking with me on your path to renewed health and strength, you’ll work with someone who offers:
Empathy
I know what uphill climbs look like. They can be scary. Whether it’s due to an autoimmune disorder like mine, a recurring injury from your competitive sports days, general anxiety about unfamiliar fitness territory, or some other mental or physical hurdle, I’ll work through it with you. Your health challenge is an opportunity for growth, not an obstacle!
Understanding
This flows from empathy and is very much a two-way street. Open communication from day 1 not only shows you what I can do, it shows me what you need me to do! My clients know they’re in a safe environment where they can be open about their health and feel heard and understood in return.
Adaptation
Formulaic, template-style workouts don’t work for everyone. In some cases, they could even make things worse! So, not only do you need a customized program, you also need someone who understands that this program should grow as your own body grows in response. Plans on paper are sometimes less important than “How do you feel today?”
Teaching
Education is a cornerstone of my entire approach. On the one hand, I’m teaching your body how it should move and feel to build strength and eliminate pain. On the other, I’m teaching you. Understanding the “why” behind what we do and knowing how your body should optimally function is empowering. What good does it do to keep that insight to myself!
I’ve tried massage at several other locations to relieve the arthritis-related pain in my neck and back. I’ve never found anyone who understands the problems and has the necessary expertise like Rebecca. I’ve made regular sessions with her a must-do in my schedule. Rebecca's combination of calm, professional demeanor, keen knowledge of human anatomy, and good sense of humor make the time fly by. – Sara M
Optimal Strength Is Possible, No Matter Who You Are
Relatable. Nonjudgmental. Knowledgeable. Oh, and spunky. If this is the type of growth experience you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place!
While I help all women interested in exploring a new relationship with their bodies, my personal journey makes me particularly adept in helping those facing similar challenges. For instance:
Chronic illness
If you’ve been diagnosed with any kind of physical disorder, you know your body works differently than most. Conditions like autoimmune disease, hypermobility syndrome, and EDS all require a different approach to fitness that won’t lead to pain or overexertion. After all, achieving strength shouldn’t hurt you in the process!
Sensitive personality
Do you have a heightened response to everyday stimuli? Guess what, so do I! I understand how this can add a layer of difficulty to highly-physical activities. I also understand how to help others knock through this barrier in careful ways, and I always bring this sort of sensitivity and intuitiveness to our sessions.
Uncomfortable with traditional settings
Conventional gyms, spas, and health clubs aren’t for everyone! I offer a safe environment for those who have had little luck with mainstream training facilities, aren’t seeing progress on their own, are struggling with a “new normal” due to illness or injury, or simply want to improve their mind-body connection in a more intimate space.
Former athlete
Chronic pain from injury or overuse can afflict even the most experienced gym rats. Unfortunately, at some point this pain can become a barrier that conventional training wisdom can’t overcome. I work with a number of former athletes requiring special routines that help them avoid aggravating recurring ailments.
Housebound
Does your work schedule cut down on personal time for things like exercise? Do family priorities keep you at home most of the day? Do you simply prefer your basement or living room over some place across town? Trust me, I get it! That’s why I offer online strength training and build time into my calendar for virtual appointments.
Concierge
I have worked for years with clients helping them in their trusted environment - their home. I can tailor my services with massage and training in the comfort of your home using the utmost discretion and loyalty in providing care.
I wish I had met Rebecca when I was younger! I have so much fun with her. She changes routines and introduces new exercises so every workout feels new. Over the years I've dreaded exercise, but Rebecca makes it far less onerous. It's great to laugh through routines while increasing cardio and strengthening muscles. You won’t be disappointed! – Lynne E
