Working with Theresia Daniel has been nothing short of life-changing, and anyone who has the chance to work with her should take it! Theresia has made an incredible impact on my life in extremely positive ways over many years.

She's helped me shift how I think about my body, my health and made my relationship to fitness way more fun and playful than it ever was before meeting her. Theresia found ways to make me feel more at home inside my body and gave me easy to follow tools to support my strength and flexibility that have made me more active and adventuresome in the gym and in my life.

She is caring and upbeat, but don't ever get confused by her sunny demeanor - she is truly brilliant about fitness and anatomy and so very knowledgeable about bodies. I've been lucky to have Theresia part of my team as I've worked to get stronger and I think of her always when I'm on a hike or doing exercises she's taught me, on my mat at home.

Moving freely and with confidence is not something that came naturally to me in my life, but Theresia gave me a real gift when she made me feel like I deserved to feel strong and powerful in my body, even though I was never what someone would think of when they thought of someone who was "athletic." Theresia has always treated me with kindness, respect and overwhelming enthusiasm, even when I struggled or had my own physical challenges - and has always been a resource to help me problem solve when I hit challenges. Bottom line: Theresia is one of the best things to happen to me. I wish more trainers had her point of view. She helps people who want to help themselves and she is patient, caring and the best cheerleader a person could have! Thank you for giving me so much belief in myself and for giving me the tools to find my own version of strong!
