Movement Coach Charles

Still frames of a life being lived. Images that inadequately capture the spectrum of emotions experienced. Hopefully they share some of the awe and presence that is waiting for you outside your front door.
This summer I’ve pushed my edge and sat with some pretty intense physical and emotional discomfort. I have also felt deep lucidity and expansive joy.
Ive been able to set down this 6.07 ounce anvil I’m currently holding for days at a time and taste the elusive freedom of not holding a screen 4 inches from my face.
These mountains are medicine. They are a reminder of source and creation. Your cells echo their familiarity to this source when you feel that peace rising up from the dirt and settling into your heart. We all need this medicine now more than ever and I don’t need to explain why.

My dream is to offer a service that helps people safely reconnect with their bodies. Over 13 years of working in this industry I’ve maintained contact with this vision and focused my work on getting better at this single goal: helping people to connect with and trust their bodies.
What does it mean to reconnect with your body?
It means to recieve clear feedback from your body in the form of sensation and tension informing your brain of your body’s relative position in space.
It means creating deep familiarity with what movements or activities feel healthy and regenerative and what activities don’t.
It means feeling strong and supported through standing, walking, running, dancing and playing.
It means being able to tolerate reasonable amounts of stress trusting that the body can self regulate and recover.
It means being able to use movement frequently as a tool to manage stress, optimize hormones and tap into a meditative ritual.
I’m so grateful to be able to offer a service that I’ve refined over many years, a service that has expanded to not just achieve this goal through movement but also incorporating the powers of mindset, light, recovery and stress management.
I am still learning and refining this service and i know I always will be. But the results and feedback I get from my clients as well as the results I achieve from applying the practice to my own life reminds me every day that I’m heading in the right direction.

Happy 91st birthday to a grandma who has supported me and cheered me on with all her heart for as long as I can remember.
I’m so grateful to have you in my life grandma!
I’m sad I can’t be with you to celebrate your important day but I’m very excited to see you in a few short weeks.
Can’t wait to lounge in your backyard soaking up the Florida sun ☀️ and go for a long walk around the neighborhood with you.
We didn’t get a birthday picture this year but here’s a little scrapbook of the last 10 years of birthday outings 💕.
