The method behind the movement
Strength that feels safe in your body.
Personal training centered around slow, controlled movement, nervous system regulation, and building strength without unnecessary tension.
I work with people of all ages and genders, with a special focus on women’s health, hyper-mobility, and returning to movement after an injury cleared by a physical therapist.
Having experienced chronic pain myself for many years, I understand firsthand how deeply it can affect your body, confidence, and everyday life. That personal journey inspired my passion for helping others feel stronger, move with greater ease, and reconnect with their bodies.
Together, we’ll build strength, stability, and confidence in a way that supports your body rather than pushing through it.
Move with more trust.
Build strength with more support.
❊ My method ❊
Regulate
We start by creating a sense of ease and awareness in your body. Through breath, slow movement, and intentional pacing, we reduce unnecessary tension and help you feel present and supported.
Stabilize
We build control from the inside out. By focusing on alignment, stability, and controlled movement, you learn how to support your joints and move with greater confidence, especially when navigating hypermobility or a history of pain/injury.
Strengthen
Once you have a strong foundation, we gradually build strength through purposeful resistance and progressive movement. The goal isn't to push harder, it’s to help you become stronger, more capable, and more trusting of your body.
Your next chapter,
told by others
I came to Dakoda with old injuries (shoulder and lower back) and chronic muscle tension. She took the time to understand my history and built a plan around mobility, corrective work and gradual strength training, adjusting every session to how I felt that day. After 6 months my tension is way down, I'm moving more freely / lifting again and I finally train without worrying about getting hurt. Highly recommend!

“Dakoda is great! I started with her while recovering from a leg injury that had been cleared by a doctor but was pretty nervous about going back into the gym, but she worked around my injury and helped me feel comfortable and confident at my own pace. At first the gym felt like a chore, but Dakoda brings a social vibe to our sessions that makes me actually want to go. If you're coming back from an injury or just getting comfortable in the gym, definitely reach out to her!”
