Can I lose weight with your program?

My coaching focuses on building sustainable habits, which often lead to weight loss, better health, and improved quality of life. My coaching style focuses on optimizing flexibility, mobility, increasing ease of daily life activity, increasing strength, enhancing metabolic health, and developing a positive relationship with all your body has and can achieve. Therefore, weight loss is a byproduct of this balanced approach, not the sole focus.
