Stacey Sorgen, CPT-ACSM Hi 👋🏻 I’m Stacey. I’ve been a movement coach for almost 13 years. It’s taken me a lot of time and effort - but I’m slowly and intentionally coaxing movement out of the desperate grasps of toxic diet culture and putting adaptive, compassionate movement into the hands of the people who have been most overlooked by the fitness industrial complex. I’m trying to create safe(er) spaces for people who are fat, non-binary, movement averse, neurodivergent, anxious, chronically ill, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC. In these 13 years I’ve never stopped learning, researching, and pushing myself to grow. As I learned - I realized how much this industry, the very industry I made a career in, SUCKS. It uses fear to motivate. It uses shame to push sales. It sees no issue with encouraging disordered eating. It has created one arbitrary and unattainable standard for “fitness” after another - all of which are ridiculous, outdated, misogynistic, and racist. There came a point where I decided I wanted no part - and I would have quit, except for that when separated from the toxic crap - movement can be joyful, through a trauma-informed lens - it can be healing, movement isn’t all-or-nothing, it doesn’t have to look or feel any particular way to make “sense” or to bring personal benefit. YOU are my reason - not a ridiculous industry. Supporting you in living life on your own terms is exactly what I’m here for. It’s nice to meet you. I’d love to help you gain all the things that would benefit you most. I’m here for YOU.
