Episode 42: Embodied Wellness is Truly a Journey of Bravery: An Interview with Sam Stuart
Joy Noble • June 4, 2024
Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 42 I got to chat with Sam Stuart about the ins and outs of what makes personal training with Braving Wellness different.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Sam’s desire to combine embodied movement & trauma-informed personal training with a focus on prenatal & postnatal workouts
- The importance of building community through group fitness classes
- Who Sam’s ideal client is (spoiler alert: consent and choice are key!)
- How Sam adapts when her clients arrive dysregulated and how she can help them navigate the workout their body needs
- That said, she also dispels the belief that taking a trauma-informed approach does not mean you won’t make gains in your workouts
- The importance of recognizing when a routine or exercise plan isn’t serving you and being ready to make a change
- Identifying with trauma is not a requirement for working with Sam
- Sam’s intentionality in checking her biases and privileges before starting to work with her clients
