I have been pretty relaxed... ok, non existent in the marketing of Grit City Health due to many factors. With this change of my scheduling, SOAP charting, and payment processing platform to MassageBook, I am jumping in with a plan and a renewed drive to grow my business. Look out for great content, promotions, and new offerings coming soon from Grit City Health.

Well… the end of a long chapter. Tonight was my last class at after 14 years of teaching Pilates. There were a ton of classes, a few pauses, one pandemic, and a whole lot of fun. I even met at Edgeworks about 12 years ago. ❤️❤️❤️ On to the next chapter at my new space. Thanks for everything!

As some of you know, I like to ride bikes. I also run a clinic combining movement/exercise, treatment focused massage, and health/performance coaching. On that note, here is a photo from my latest ride outside. It really was the epitome of why I ride, train, and race. I ride because it’s so amazing to be outside with friends experiencing the wonders of the world. I train so when I do rides like this, I can be more functional the rest of the day and next day. I race to challenge myself to push the limits of my capacity in an environment that is supportive and supported. It’s all about finding a sustainable way forward to enjoying my time on my bikes. If you are a self coached athlete, a regular check-in with a health/performance coach can be a great way to keep moving forward!

I have been busy getting the space ready in between clients. 😂😂 It’s really starting to feel like my own place! Sauna add-on sessions are live, I can now offer 3 person recovery focused mat classes, and my DIY 8’x10’ curtains allow for a private massage area to be created as needed. Lastly, online scheduling with my new expanded availability has been updated. 😁😁

I felt like Charlie Bucket when I opened my latest Skratch delivery. A Golden Ticket! Thanks for being awesome… but… if I don’t tell Slugworth your secrets, am I the new ?? Ok, second thought… too much pressure, Loyal Customer is just fine for me!

Have I told you the story of my bright green shoes? Well, in 2019, I put up a goal of winning CXR Cat 4 35+ season overall. I worked hard, stayed consistent, and won! At the awards party my raffle ticket was called and I chose the coupon for shoes! Bright green Shimano XC-901 shoes. Every time I put them on I smile and know I will be working hard.
This year I set a goal of winning CXR Cat 3 35+ season overall and accomplished that too. Yet again, at the awards party, my raffle ticket was called and guess what I went with. That’s right the shoes. I asked for the Road version and they showed up today. The Shimano RC903 shoes! They are amazing and now in half sizes! Now all through the spring and summer when out on the road I can smile and remember that my hard work will pay off. What are your 2023 bike goals? Let me know and let’s celebrate our wins together all year long!

Thanks for a great CX series and all you do for the sport and local racers. Also thanks to for getting these to me, supporting the local CX scene, and helping keep my feet moving in style!
