FITNESS PERFORMANCE RECOVERY

Whether you’re training for sport or everyday life, I work with you to create movement systems tuned to your unique fitness, performance and recovery needs. My approach is to create an environment where there will always be learning opportunities. I’m a coach, teacher, trainer dedicated to giving teams, athletes and everyday humans the tools to enhance performance and everyday life. My process can help you find your strength and ease through movement, mobility and breath, and as always—a bunch of other good stuff!

I offer classes, online, and in-person coaching for teams and individuals.

Today’s breathwork session took me back to my elementary teaching roots.

Today's session with Grade 2's at Laura Secord School was all about learning that our breath is a superpower!

Through fun, simple breathing activities, these little humans explored how their breath can help them feel calm, focused, energized and ready to learn. Big skills start with little breaths!

Building body awareness and self-regulation, one breath at a time. 💙

You don't need to be an athlete to experience an electrolyte imbalance....

Some clients I work with are 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 and that one simple breathing dysfunction can
alter the balance of electrolytes in the body, leading to symptoms like muscle cramps and spasms.

We all need electrolytes to maintain proper fluid balance, regulate our body temperature, and perform our best.

✨✨✨✨✨

I've tinkered with this electrolyte gummie recipe and think I've found the right ratios for having a good consistency and not being too tart.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup lemon juice or lime juice*
3/4 cup water 5 scoops powdered electrolytes
6 tbsp gelatin powder**

*substitute 1/4 cup water if you don't want extra tartness
** Make sure it is gelatin powder NOT collagen powder.

Instructions:

Measure out gelatin.

Choose molds with simple shapes for easier removal.

Prepare molds on a sheet pan. This takes care of spills and moving to the fridge. I use two molds. This recipe yields 20-24 depending on how deep your molds and how much you fill them.

In a small sauce, pan, whisk together, everything except gelatin until powder is dissolved.

Then bring the pot to just below boiling.
This is an important part - DO NOT BOIL!

Start adding the gelatin 1 tablespoon at a time and slowly pouring into the liquid while constantly whisking to dissolve. It will get a little bit gummy if you put too much in at one time.

Once all the gelatin is dissolved, and no lumps remain, find your favorite silicone molds and fill with your concoction. You can also spoon out some of the lumps before pouring into molds. Let it cool completely in the refrigerator. Take out of molds and store sealed in the fridge.

Try out the recipe and let me know how you like them!

Last night's recovery session was about anchor rituals and cue words.

The finishing touch was an 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
which directs attention towards something outside of the body, such as a visual target or an external cue, rather than internal sensations, thoughts or breathing.

Here are just a couple of benefits:

✅ Better attentional control - we can help athletes to deliberately shift and hold attention, which is useful when distractions are high.

✅ Improved performance focus - we can encourage attention on the task or the target rather than overthinking technique.

✅ Less internal chatter - we can reduce excessive self-monitoring and performance related anxiety.

✅ Stress regulation - we can use an externally focused meditation to help athletes manage the stress after mistakes.

The goal is to shift attention from the 'me' and my mistakes, to the game and the task at hand.

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching breathwork is watching the ripple effect it creates. This teacher joined the course looking to learn something new for their own personal growth. By the end of the program, they not only transformed their own relationship with breathing but also left inspired with tools they could share with their students.

“Level 1 - Intro provided an excellent framework for understanding breath from a multitude of angles. I felt comfortable asking questions and relaxed with the online format. Jodian is very knowledgeable, and her course has changed how I breathe and live my life!”

Breathwork - another tool for the toolbox 🧰 of life.

Our Top Five Hikes - Spring Edition

We've finished up 2026 training camp.

The goal is to always keep the wheels moving. Trail runs, hikes, walks, and lifts.
I've done a bit of online work to keep me connected and worked on a course. I've read and thoroughly enjoyed the active weather.
Mix that with visiting southern friends and a little bit of family time and we've created a recipe that works for us.
We've eaten great food and had great restaurant experiences.
A trip to the coast is not complete until we make a stop at Leucadia Donuts even though I'll pay for it later. 😂
We've picked up and 'moved' three times which has allowed us to have a change of scenery and experiences.
We've been in homemade condo gyms, resort gyms and hotel gyms.
We've walked palm treed sidewalks, ocean side sandy paths and the always entertaining streets of Vegas.
But the highlights are always our trail runs and hikes.

If you've read this far..

110 kms over 18 hikes.
Some are repeats but we always manage to find new ones.
I don't need harrowing climbs or tons of mileage but I do always appreciate a good view.
I've narrowed down our new top five for this year.

1. Liberty Arch and Colorado Overlook.
2. Historic Railroad Trail to Hoover Dam.
3. Calico Trails to Calico Tanks
4. Ryan Mt.
5. The Maze Loop

Honorable mention goes to Annie's Canyon Trail that led to the cutest little slot canyon. The only reason we went was because of the name.

As always you can follow me on AllTrails.

This concludes our spring training camp. Get out there, get moving. See some things. Engage with nature no matter how short of time. Take your family, find a friend, go by yourself.
Live life, stop watching others.
