Life is change. Welcomed or not it is unavoidable. You cannot control the passage of time, but you can control how you pass through time. Hooray!
♥ Have you noticed changes?
♥ Are you frustrated with your habits but fumble with change?
♥ Do you feel out of touch with your body?
♥ Do you wonder ‘What’s stopping me’?
♥ Do you know how to be good to yourself?
If you answer yes to any of these, then coaching might offer a path for you.

THE WOW TRAINING SYSTEM IS BASED ON STRONG VALUES & PRINCIPLES
The five underlying principles of the Wonders of Walking system include:
Acceptance. Encourage “self acceptance” as the right frame of mind from where to grow.
Knowledge. Know how your body works for and against you. You are provided with information, techniques and comfort to move confidently, efficiently and effectively.
Consistency and Continuity. As Mark Twain said, “Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.” You receive help in finding the consistency and continuity in your practices and actions that lead to creating new healthy habits.
Quality. Your true power as an individual comes from the quality of your actions – not just what you do but how you go about your life. We help you see that the quality of your actions is far more important than the quantity of things you do.
Connection. Once you form the body/mind/spirit connection, you are better prepared to listen for and receive the messages that will help you build upon your steps. You begin to discover the thread(s) that allows you to connect and function as one.
A female 60 year old client desires to loose 50 pounds, take control of her diabetes, and climb a mountain near Manzanita. Integrating good walking technique, eliminating negative self talk, creating dietary awareness and celebrating her daily small accomplishments has help her reduce her weight by 40%, lower her blood sugar 40 points or 30%, and hike this mountain rather than wait at the bottom for her husband. She has achieved all of this without potions, pills or fad diets, by integrating lifestyle changes as new habits. “Walking means health, wellness, exercise, camaraderie, being outdoors, gives mental and physical stress relief, opportunity to achieve better fitness than I ever thought I could achieve!” Carolyn G.—Personal coaching
Walking is one of the easiest movements to get the exercise you need to stay healthy, have fun, and take control of the passage of time.

What Clients Say:
Cancer patient:
Thank you so much for being there when I really needed to believe that I could recover. Now, I think as of this week, I can get started. Good to know you are out there. Thanks Judy. – Margaret
Fitness Coaching:
Judy, thank you for taking the time to work with me – I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have someone I trust take such an interest -- Brian
Strength Training Sessions:
I appreciated your attention to detail. You made sure that we were isolating and using the correct muscles for each exercise that you taught us. That has never happened in any other classes that I have taken. You have an amazing knowledge of how the body works and what affects each area. You know what is safe movement and what can cause problems. Judy, you were also very responsive to each person's physical weaknesses and past injuries. You could give alternative exercises and/or tell people when to pass on an exercise. I also appreciated how you put together the broader view of taking the strengthening exercise and educating us as to how it effected the walking. -- Lauren
