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
