Fit to explore the world...

I came to Body Coach with the objective of getting in shape to do a sea-kayaking trip of 135km in Turkey for my 60th birthday. Although I am an active person, I do not regularly "work out". I asked Lynda to prepare a home program for me with the only equipment being my yoga mat, exercise ball and a set of weights. She coached me in 10 private sessions and I followed her program for 3 months before my departure. Because of her, my sea-kayaking trip was a tremendous success. I felt totally fit and was able to complete the kayaking trip with no sore muscles! Lynda has a wide knowledge about fitness and with her coaching skills provides an environment where I felt confident I could achieve my objectives. Thank you, Lynda, for your gift for my 60th birthday.

A life-changing experience with a strong motivator…

Lynda was my body coach from November 2005 to June 2006. She designed for me a regimen of aerobic exercise (running, walking) and free weights, as well as stretching and flexibility exercises.  Working with Lynda was life-changing.  With the program she developed for me, I was able to become far more present in my body and feel and express my emotions. I was able to be with, process, and release, an enormous amount of emotion pain that I had left buried for decades. I developed a strong, flexible body that can handle far more than I ever thought possible.  Lynda is a strong, present and very gentle trainer, and at the same time knows how to point out where you need work and to motivate you! The combination of her deep knowledge of the body and her training as an Integral Coach™ create in her a powerful combination. She has an understanding of both the human psyche and its resistance to change and of the human body and its workings.

See results in a short period of time...

Lynda opened up a whole new world for me. She did a complete assessment of my body and then developed a straight forward, do-able program of strength training including weight lifting. In a few short weeks I started seeing results in my arms and shoulders. I definitely looked better and having a stronger upper body gave me more energy and confidence. For someone who has never liked doing exercise this is nothing short of a miracle.

A customized workout to fit your needs...

Ce que j'apprécie chez Lynda, c'est sa capacité d'écoute. Elle peut ajuster le programme à mes besoins. Son accompagnement m'a appris à conjuger effort, respiration, et concentration sur les muscles à travailler. Je vois mon programme comme un exercise de méditation.

Expert guidance, motivation and important tools...

Lynda provided me with a comprehensive and practical assessment of my current physical condition. She provided guidance in helping me to develop a physical fitness regimen that works for me. Lynda has been an important motivator and educator for me in this area of my life. Her tools also provide a benchmark with which I can measure my development over time. The service that she provides is important and is good for people of all ages and at any level of fitness. Lynda has helped me to take responsibility for my own well-being. I enthusiastically recommend her services.

A compassionate and supportive beacon...

Lynda coached me through a period of significant change at my place of work.  I didn't know what to expect when we started out as I had never worked with a coach before; but, I was not disappointed.  Her ability to listen with compassion and hear beyond my words allowed me to come away feeling more solid about my place in the changes at work.  At times I felt like I was drowning and Lynda was my life preserver.

Achieve the potential you have within...

Lynda opened my eyes, my heart and my mind to the possibilities of being fully me. Lynda’s coaching was timely and her success with me was grounded in her ability to listen and to synthesize what she heard in a way that shifted me out of a place of feeling stuck. She helped me see the path that was available to me and offered me a picture to help me move forward. I have moved, written a book, and taken several risks since I first met Lynda. The picture she offered me is something I continue to carry with me as a reminder to celebrate the journey that is my life.

If you can dream it, you can be it....

I had promised a school friend (from public school - a long, long time ago) a visit up in the Peace River country one summer and meant to keep my promise.  While up there my wife and I decided to do some wilderness paddling, which soon became a 150 mile jaunt down the Thelon River in the Northwest Territories. At 70, I wasn't sure I could keep up to the daily grind of even 15 miles a day, plus the wind, the bugs and all the camp chores.  But Lynda came through for us: she set up upper-body exercise routines for us.  We started in the winter and kept up through spring and early summer, and we did the trip. We were still pretty tired each day but without Lynda's program we would have missed our "pick-up" for sure and have had to be rescued.  As it was we arrived at the finish a day before our "pick-up" plane arrived - - - thanks to Lynda.
