TESTIMONIALS
My whole body feels taken care of. This class is perfect if you know you need some extra TLC to complement your other training but struggle to stick to it. Colleen is consistent, considered and holds the space for you to really take the time your body deserves. Would highly recommend to anybody, and there’s not an aerialist out there who wouldn’t benefit from Mobility Matters! 
I don’t have a movement background. I didn’t grow up playing sports and I’ve spent most of my life behind a desk.
I came to fitness and dance later in life after a debilitating motorcycle accident shattered my right leg. At the time, I was told that I’d never walk “normally” again let alone dance, run, or otherwise move freely again. That was a hefty sentence for a 19-year-old!
Through years of trial and error creating a movement practice first for myself and later for my students, I unlearned, learned, and relearned what it meant to move my body.
On my journey to move better, I found many teachers who were beautiful movers that had no idea how their bodies were moving in space. I found other teachers/coaches that did understand how to explain their movement but struggled to help students with chronic injuries, differently-sized or differently-abled bodies, or basically anyone who didn’t have a basic movement background access the same success as more able-bodied students.
To achieve the results that I wanted, I had to become the coach that I was looking for and understand from a practical (rather than clinical) perspective how to help myself first and then later my own students.
Mobility Matters is the result!
