Why mobility is the foundation of strength training?
Babies start crawling before walking; the same logic applies to YOU, especially if you are about to find your way back from an injury, chronic pain, or sedentary lifestyle.
Strength training is essential, but what is even more significant is building a proper foundation for the strength you are about to build.
For example, in a typical fitness class, you are asked to do a minimum of 20 squats, if not more, which is excellent, but what happens if your hip joints are not ready to carry the load of your squat? That’s when you may end up having lower back, knee, and hip pain.
When you pay attention to the foundation of your strength, you easily avoid most exercise-related injuries.
In my practice, I am committed to helping clients build a solid foundation so they can move beyond their perceived limits around exercise.
I reintroduce my clients to their bodies through the understanding of:
👉🏻the nervous system
👉🏻biomechanics
👉🏻and mind-body awareness
As soon as they learn to reconnect with their bodies deeper, healing magic starts happening.
My work is no longer just about pushing clients through a challenging workout, but it is about:
✨relieving pain,
✨preventing injury,
✨optimizing movement
✨and building an unshakable strength
Here are some of my client’s success stories:

I have been working with Hedi for three months, and in that time I've noticed a huge improvement in my core strength. Being a trainer myself, I have always hesitated hiring someone to help me because I'm quite particular 😉 But Hedi's knowledge around posture, alignment, and the human body in general is extensive and I knew I would be in good hands with her. She has taken the time to understand the various chronic injuries I'm dealing with, and rather than just work around them, she is helping me learn to work with them. If you're looking for a trainer who will help you understand your body in greater detail so you can tap into your true strength, Hedi is your girl!

I have achieved incredible results by working with Hedi! Her training is ideal for anyone who wants to feel stronger after an injury or striving to feel better while dealing with a chronic illness. Before her personal training, I was experiencing daily discomfort from Lupus and a slow meniscus tear recovery. I felt better immediately working out with Hedi and after four months training, I am so much stronger and I am able to recover so much quicker when my illness reactivates my injury. Hedi provides a fantastic variety of exercises each session and she is very knowledgeable and focused on the best movements to create results. It feels so good to stretch properly, workout hard and then end the session in a meditation. Having worked with trainers before, no one comes close to delivering physical movement results in such a caring and professional way. Thank you Hedi!!

I started working with Hedi in Spring 2021 and I can not thank her enough for the great M3 online classes that we have had. My body has had a transformation! Not only my weight went down in a very healthy way (no starvation or crazy exercises) but the shape of my body has improved so much! The pain that I had in my right hand and shoulder (because of hours of working with mouse and keyboard) disappeared shortly after starting the sessions with her. I had injured my knee climbing the Grouse mountain and Hedi’s exercises helped me to be able to do deep squats and lunges. On top of great knowledge, she has an absolutely amazing personality who cares about you more than you can imagine. I highly recommend her sessions!
