Amanda created StrongSelves from a deeply personal understanding that strength is not just physical — it’s neurological, emotional, and deeply connected to how safe and supported a woman feels in her body.

​

She is a Nationally Certified Athletic Trainer with a Master’s Degree in Athletic Training and a Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences, and has spent years working in sports medicine and rehabilitation. Her background includes extensive experience in injury recovery and concussion rehabilitation, which shaped her nervous‑system‑led approach to movement and coaching.

​

Through this work, Amanda learned that true strength isn’t built by pushing harder — it’s built by helping the body feel safe enough to adapt, reconnect, and heal.

​

As a mother of two, both born via C‑section, Amanda’s own postpartum journey led her to pursue deeper education in pelvic floor function, fascial connections, postural alignment, and whole‑body integration. This lived experience is a major reason StrongSelves places such intentional focus on pelvic health, fascia release, posture, and rebuilding trust in the body through strength training.

​

Amanda’s coaching style is thoughtful, calm, and highly personalized. She helps women understand why their bodies respond the way they do — and guides them toward strength that supports confidence, longevity, sexual health, and real life.

Catrina brings a calm, grounded presence to StrongSelves, shaped by her background as an athlete and her experience navigating injury and recovery firsthand.

​

After completing her master’s degree in exercise physiology, Catrina spent time working in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation — supporting individuals through healing, rebuilding strength, and regaining confidence after major health events. This experience deeply informs her belief in preventive care, sustainable movement, and education as the foundation for lifelong health.

​

Catrina is especially passionate about helping women feel capable in their bodies again — without fear, pressure, or extremes.

​

What clients notice first about Cat:
Her steady encouragement and ability to make strength feel safe and approachable.

Lauren’s coaching is rooted in the belief that every woman is worthy of feeling strong, confident, and supported in her body.

Her background as an athlete, educator, and business owner has shaped her ability to meet women where they are — especially those navigating stress, fatigue, and the demands of full lives.

​

Lauren is passionate about research and helping women reconnect with themselves through movement, build sustainable habits, and recognize their own strength — inside and out.

​

What clients often feel with Lauren is seen, encouraged, and reminded of their own worth.
