Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting
After working in the fitness industry for a few years, I realized that helping people lose weight often meant participating in a business model that perpetuates the idea that we are inadequate as we are. My aim is to help deconstruct that message and support people in reconnecting with their own intuition. In addition, I recognize that the patterns we carry within us don’t exist in isolation—they shape how we relate to ourselves, to one another, and to the larger systems and communities we are part of.
So, if you're looking for transformation (aka healing) — internally, externally, and from the personal to the systemic — you already know the best place to start is with yourself. If this resonates, I welcome you to join me on this journey!
Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting isn't traditional personal training and it isn't therapy.
This is a powerful form of embodied movement that combines internal awareness with strength training, while honoring what feels safe to your unique and complex nervous system. Informed by Somatic Experiencing® principles, we bring nervous system awareness into the weight room alongside progressive overload — creating space for increased self-awareness, greater self-regulation, personal growth, and deep healing.
This space is an ongoing commitment to honoring every lived experience — with continued learning and growth into greater inclusivity and equity.
This is Trauma-informed Weight Lifting.
Sessions are offered individually, either online or in person in Tehaleh, WA, with a full hour devoted to you and your growth. Schedule your free consultation by calling or texting (253) 448-3532 or emailing melanie@rewoven-wellness.com and discover how this work can support you.
LEARN DETAILS ABOUT MY PILOT PROGRAM BELOW
For people who…
Desire better boundaries and relief from losing themselves in the needs of others,
who desire to access a wider range of emotional responses or bring balance to extreme ones,
who seek to address health issues through a somatic approach —
I am offering a pilot program that combines Emotional Wellness Coaching and Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting.
In my work, achieving balance often means untangling beliefs from experiences that never belonged together — and metabolizing the emotions that surround them.
Through coaching, we bring what we hold emotionally into conscious awareness.
We use the physical challenge of lifting — bodyweight or actual weights — as a way to help emotions move.
This helps us release survival energy we may still be holding that never got a chance to settle.
About this pilot:
This is for those who desire to experience the combination of Emotional Wellness Coaching and Trauma-Informed Weightlifting. By participating, you are helping me and others by:
Providing valuable feedback that will inform how I structure the official program — an offering designed specifically for women navigating fawning responses — and how to best support different nervous systems
Providing me with learning opportunities to support my continued growth and improvement as a practitioner
The benefits you may experience from participating may include, but are not limited to:
Exploring the experiences and influences that have shaped your identity and applying what you learn to your personal growth journey
Learning to separate what is authentically you from those influences and using your values as a guide
Rediscovering your core truths and gaining the capacity to reintegrate them
Reclaiming choice and agency
Gaining the capacity to stay present through activation and deactivation
