Dreaming about this plant-based charcuterie from my birthday weekend ❤️. After countless Pinterest fails I think we can call this one a Pinterest win. A special thanks to all you ferocious pinners out the and to the anonymous creative healthy genius pinner who inspired me to craft this delicious beauty. . This sure beats that time I attempted to make Santa Claus strawberries that ended up melting into sad strawberry aliens... or that time I whipped up some healthy cookies for the crew who, after one bite, exclaimed, “Liz! These are the best biscuits I’ve ever had!” (And no, they weren’t British, so... I had effectively made the worst cookies/best biscuits ever.) Now that I think of it.. I’ll take that as a #pinterestwin . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23 #charcuterie #vegancharcuterie
Yes. This is for my fellow creators, doers and hustlers who are forging their own path, making their own way, and dreaming their ideal future into existence. Forever caught in a never ending whirlwind of chaos and hustle? Me too. But don’t worry, babe - it’s that passion and vision that will carry you into greatness.. and then there’s no looking back 💪🏼 ...especially when we’re all meeting up on each other’s mega-yachts to sip margaritas and reminisce on these days when we were busting our butts. Yea? No? Just me? . . I tagged a few of the women I know who might need this little reminder today (and who are definitely invited to my future yacht parties) Keep crushing it, ladies - you’re doing incredible things. ❤️ . . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23 #inspirationalquotes #yachtsarenteverything #buttheysurearefun
What a week! Resting up and re-filling my tank with sunshine and exercise and down time. I’ve never been one to let off steam or escape reality by partying or going wild on the weekends. Don’t get me wrong, I love to have a good time and can hang with the best of them - but these days, my chaotic weeks are best counteracted with calm. . . That’s one reason I created my recovery and myofascial release class, “The Release”. I am so excited that I get to teach this class tonight at @theassemblysf. Join me at 4:30pm to melt away the crazy week and prepare you for the week to come. Visit @theassemblysf’s schedule to sign up and enjoy a dope playlist, a beautiful space and time to unwind and untangle through guided self-massage. . . When the late nights, early mornings, mile-long to-do lists and curveballs start wearing you down, how do you restore your energy and mental clarity? 😬 #needavacation . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23
I spent a good, oh I don’t know, 15 years of my life trying to find the best diet to make me 1. Skinny 2. Healthy 3. Energized 4. Happy 5. Accepted 6. In control. . Even before I was a coach, I had tried it all. For many different reasons. Paleo, Vegan, Intermittent fasting, Keto (lol that lasted 48 hours), the lemonade cleanse (🙄) Whole 30, no gluten, all the gluten, low carb, high carb.. My goodness. And I know I’m not the only one who has experimented with different diets just to be disappointed, grumpy and damn hungry. . . When I see all of the information and misinformation out there, when I see anyone trying to prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach to health and nutrition, it makes me so sad and frustrated at our society’s general relationship to food. . . What works for me now? Whole foods, no caffeine, lots of veggies, eating when I’m hungry, and thinking of food as fuel to help me grow stronger rather than something to control and conquer. . . If you are stuck on the hamster wheel of diets and trendy workouts, it’s time to get off. Your body WANTS to be healthy. Unscramble your gut by limiting sugar and refined foods and feeding it healthy, real food and lots of water. Then listen to that gut and separate actual hunger from emotional hunger. You’ll start to crave the foods that you need. Healthy, real, whole foods. . . Ditch the diet advice and the one-size-fits-all miracle nonsense. These type of diets may “work” for a short time - enough to take a semi-compelling before and after photo - but then wreck your body in the long term. It doesn’t have to be that complicated. Truly. Trust me, I’ve done all the complicated things, wrecked my body and finally have nourished it back to full function. 🙌🏼 It’s much better on the other side of diet overwhelm. . . I’m SO curious - What is the craziest diet you’ve ever tried? What works for you now? . . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #palmbffs #femfeed #palmcrew23
[ Feeling like a superhero ] I am so lucky that I get to help people move better for a living. Everything I do feeds into my passion for coaching and spreading truth about health and movement. There are several incredible things in the horizon that I would love to share with you, in hopes that you will join, support, and become a deeper part of my community!. . . 1. @tonal. I’ve been secretly filming, working, consulting and training behind the scenes with Tonal - the world’s most intelligent fitness system. While I can’t say too much about this quite yet (still in stealth mode!), you loyal friends deserve to get a little VIP treatment 😉. In the next few months, I’ll be giving you some behind-the-scenes love and exclusive opportunities to check out what we’re doing to change the fitness world for the better. . Keep an eye out for the @tonal system, my fellow Tonal coaches (tagged below) and message me if you are interested in coming into our Cow Hollow studio for a private trial 👌🏼 . . 2. I’ll be Co-leading an injury prevention program @competit.her for high school girls with fellow athletic trainer and injury prevention expert @nina.szemis. A six-part series designed to educate and inspire young athletes to take better care of their bodies in order to be more competitive on the field. . I’m using knowledge gained from my doctoral studies, combined with my sports medicine background and daily experience working with movement and postural abnormalities to help these girls crush it in sport and life. Know a young lady who would benefit? Message me! Want to volunteer to help out? Message me! . . . Feeling the energy of the impending summer fueling my mind and body. I am so grateful to be spending my time doing what I love: helping YOU move better and discern the truth in all of the health information out there. . . . . . @tonal coaches: @fitpronico @barbellblondie @thatgetwright @actionjacksonfitness @tonallysavage @theexercistsf . 📷: @praaaise #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf
Nothing beats a good workout buddy 👯‍♀️. I can’t tell you how many times I wouldn’t have gone to the gym or some class if my friend hadn’t been there waiting for me. I rely on my workout buddies for accountability, friendship, support, and motivation. I’ve tagged my fav workout buddies below! Tag the people who push you to show up and sweat harder! . . . . . #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #workoutbuddy #inspiration
I’m going to sound a lot like your old away message/tumblr/note on your dorm mirror but here goes... “Don’t let anyone ever dull your sparkle”. . . But seriously don’t. The world needs that magic inside of you, babe. Ditch the people, thoughts and things that leave you feeling heavy, stuck and small. ✨ . . . . . 📷: @brandirdesigns #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings
Mari (@yogizinha) began my mentorship program last year after moving to SF from Texas. She wanted to take her incredible yoga and health coaching business to the next level by learning as much as she could about injury risk reduction, strength training, and the ins and outs of personal coaching. We dove into anatomy, physiology, and case studies and learned through shadowing, lectures, exams, and hands-on learning. Mari was an incredible first mentee and is now crushing it at @diakadi.life with her own large roster of clients. . . I am a huge fan of “each one teach one” and am so proud of and inspired by Mari’s journey. I have learned a lot about being a mentor and am grateful for Mari’s patience as I navigate the ups and downs of mentorship with her as my first mentee! (And for that, you are an angel, Mari!) . . I am fully focused on finishing my dissertation, however when that is complete, I will be accepting another individual mentee into my one-on-one mentorship program. . . If you are serious about coaching individuals, injury risk reduction, and overall elevating your current personal training or athletic training career, reach out so I can put you on the list! Program will likely start in 2019. . . . . . . . 📷: @praaaise #sanfrancisco #fitness #forceisfemale #thehappynow #personaltrainer #wellness #fitfluential #inspo #healthy #thehappynow #thesweatlife #ambassador #thatsdarling #intuitivehealth #mentorship #inspiration #theassemblysf #doingthings #personaltrainersf
