✨ Coach Education Spotlight: Mikaela! ✨ Congratulations to Coach Mikaela for completing the Trauma-Informed Weightlifting (TIWL) Certification!

This certification provides advanced training in trauma-informed fitness coaching, emphasizing inclusivity, accessibility, body awareness, and client autonomy. It combines foundational trauma education with practical tools for creating safe, responsive, and supportive training environments.

Mikaela pursued this certification to deepen her understanding of how movement and strength training can support mental health and trauma recovery. Her coaching particularly benefits beginners, people navigating major life and body changes such as pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or menopause, and those who may feel uncomfortable in traditional gym settings.

The course strengthened her skills in responsive coaching and introduced tools like Embodied Metaphor, which uses movement to foster self-awareness, healing, and empowerment.

Please congratulate her on this achievement when you see her!
