I have been working in the fitness Industry since 2018 after starting as a personal training client where I lost over 5Olbs in 6 months and developed a love for fitness. I have been told that I Inspire people through fitness and my passion is contagious.Through my time in the corporate gym world, where I was managing a gym during the pandemic, I learned that there are so many people who are too nervous, too busy, or physically unable to access fitness.

Over the past year, Emma has made a profound impact on my fitness journey.
Her personalized approach has transformed the way I view fitness. She doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and that's what sets her apart. She takes the time to understand my unique goals, strengths, and areas that need improvement. The training program she creates is tailor-made just for me, ensuring that every session is productive and enjoyable, and best of all we have a great rapport throughout the session, making an otherwise strenuous process more fun.
However, what's truly remarkable is Emma's commitment to my success. Her dedication doesn't stop at the gym; she's willing to travel to my home for our training sessions. This level of convenience and personalized attention is unparalleled, and it shows how much she genuinely cares about my well-being. Under Emma's guidance, I've achieved fitness milestones I never thought possible. I've not only seen physical improvements but also a boost in my self-confidence and overall well-being. Emma has a way of making workouts fun and challenging at the same time, and I always look forward to our sessions.
I can't recommend Emma enough. Her expertise, dedication, and the way she customizes every aspect of our training are truly remarkable. I feel fortunate to have her as my trainer, and I'm excited to see where this fitness journey will take me with Emma by my side.

Together, we’ll craft a program that meets you with care, intention, and skill — rooted in compassion, guided by regulation, and led by your unique rhythm. NO TWO SEEDS GROW THE SAME Every body — every BODY — is different. Every life, a unique landscape. Every journey, its own unfolding. At Groundwork Collective™, we honor the individuality of each person — because true growth doesn’t follow a formula. It follows the wisdom of your nervous system, the seasons of your life, and the soil of your story. Some clients need focused movement support. Others thrive with a fully integrated approach. Wherever you begin, we’ll co-create a path that honors your capacity, your lived experience, and your deepest hopes for sustainable growth. OUR PROMISE This is not a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a steady, flexible journey — one intentional, rooted step at a time. At Groundwork Collective™, we honor the unspoken truths of training: nervous system regulation, mobility, alignment, mindful strength, breath, recovery, and the profound connection between body and mind. We train for resilience, adaptability, and longevity — not just performance — because this is where meaningful, lasting change takes root. This work is: Grounding — we meet you where you are Empowering — we guide from your inner capacity, not external pressure Compassionate — we walk beside you with reverence, not judgment MEET YOUR GROUNDING GUIDE, COACH RAE Not just a coach — a guide for the whole human.

At Groundwork, we don’t just set goals—we build the capacity to meet them.
Here’s how we do it differently:
1. We Start at the Root
Most programs start with a plan.
We start with you.
Your body. Your breath. Your nervous system.
Because if the foundation is shaky, the progress won’t stick.
2. We Rebuild Safety & Strength
We teach your body how to feel safe first—so you can move better, recover faster, and grow stronger without burning out or breaking down.
Safety isn’t a soft skill—it’s the secret weapon to real strength.
3. We Integrate Movement, Nourishment, and Lifestyle
No more siloed goals.
Your sleep, stress, food, movement, and mindset are all connected—and we coach through integration, not isolation.
4. We Focus on Sustainability
Quick fixes don’t work.
We help you create habits, rhythms, and rituals that last years, not just weeks.
It’s not about intensity—it’s about consistency.
5. We Coach Through Empowerment, Not Obligation
You’re not here to be “fixed.”
You’re here to remember your strength.
Our coaching gives you tools, insight, and guidance—but you’re always in the driver’s seat.
6. We Celebrate Progress That Goes Beyond the Scale
Wins here look like:
Pain-free mornings
Energy that lasts all day
Confidence in movement
Emotional resilience
Habits that feel like home
In short?
Groundwork helps you move from frustration to flow.
From survival mode to strength mode.
From goals that stress you out—to goals that grow you.
It’s not about chasing the “dream body.”
It’s about building a body you trust.
One that feels strong, free, pain-free, and alive.
Here’s the real secret:
1. Reconnect.
Reclaim your body as a home, not a project.
Breathe deeper. Move intentionally.
Learn your patterns—don’t punish them.
2. Regulate.
Your nervous system is the gatekeeper.
No amount of workouts will work if your body feels unsafe.
Ground first. Heal from the root.
3. Rewire.
Train smarter, not harder.
Build strength with your body, not against it.
Progressive loading, nervous system support, mobility before intensity.
4. Rebuild.
This is the body you’re becoming—
not through force, but through foundation.
You don’t need a new body.
You need a new relationship with the one you have.
5. Rise.
The “dream” isn’t in the mirror.
It’s in how you move.
How you show up.
How you feel when no one’s watching.
That’s the Groundwork.
From the ground up.
Rooted. Resilient. Ready to rise.
It’s not the before-and-after photos.
It’s the moment someone feels their power again—for the first time in a long time.
When a client goes from—I can’t to I just did—
When pain becomes possibility.
When movement becomes medicine.
When the story shifts from shame to self-trust.
I love being the witness, the guide, the mirror.
Helping people remember that healing isn’t linear—but it’s always worth it.
And watching them rise from the root—with strength they didn’t know they had.
That’s what I live for.
That’s Groundwork.
Honestly?
It wasn’t just one thing—it was everything I broke through.
Groundwork was born in the void—
After injury, burnout, misalignment, and moments where I lost myself trying to do things “the right way.”
It came from years of training, teaching, coaching... and still feeling like something was missing.
I was doing everything I was taught to do—
But my body was screaming for something deeper.
Groundwork is what I needed—
A system that didn’t just train the body, but honored the whole human.
That started with the nervous system.
That made space for healing, not just hustling.
That gave permission to pause, to feel, and to rebuild—without shame.
It’s the integration of my lived experience, my studies, and my soul’s work.
Movement, nourishment, lifestyle, and nervous system support—woven together.
Because transformation isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about laying the groundwork—and rising from there.
Because this is coaching with depth.
With devotion. With discernment.
At Groundwork, nothing is pre-planned — it’s all personalized from the inside out.
Your body holds a story.
Your nervous system holds wisdom.
Your goals deserve more than surface-level training.
This work is intentionally crafted — movement, mindset, nourishment, and regulation — all woven together to meet you.
Your rhythms. Your readiness. Your real life.
Because you're not just another client here.
You're a whole human.
And you’ll be seen, supported, and coached as such.
This is groundwork that honors who you are — and who you’re becoming.
If you’re looking for more than just a workout plan—
If you’re craving real, lasting transformation—
Groundwork is for you.
Here’s what makes Groundwork different (and why our clients stay for the long haul):
1. We Work With Your Body, Not Against It
No more pushing through pain, ignoring burnout, or chasing quick fixes.
We rebuild strength from the root — with mobility, nervous system support, and sustainable progress that meets you where you are.
2. A Whole-Person Approach
We don’t just train your muscles.
We support your movement, nourishment, lifestyle, and mindset — because they’re all deeply connected.
3. Personalized + Trauma-Aware Coaching
Whether you’re recovering from injury, navigating chronic stress, or starting fresh — Groundwork meets you with compassion, strategy, and care.
4. Progress That Feels Like You
This isn’t about perfection or performance for others.
It’s about feeling stronger, steadier, and more connected — in a body that feels like home.
5. Rooted Results, Not Just Resolutions
Pain-free movement.
Stronger habits.
More energy.
Confidence in your body.
That’s the Groundwork.
