My Philosophy of Care
At EveryBODY Moves with Erica, our community is built on the values of acceptance, joy, mental well-being, movement, inclusivity, and weight neutrality. We don't focus on changing bodies or talking about weight. Instead, we focus on helping people reconnect with movement in ways that feel supportive, empowering, and sustainable.
I believe movement is for every body. Every size, shape, ability, and experience is welcome and celebrated. My goal is to help people discover that exercise can be a form of self-care rather than self-punishment.
As a Health at Every Size® fitness provider, I strive to create a space where people feel safe, comfortable, and confident showing up exactly as they are. Many of the people I work with hold multiple marginalized identities and have experienced exclusion or harm in traditional fitness spaces. My hope is to offer an inclusive environment where they can rebuild trust with movement, gain strength, improve mobility, and experience the mental and physical benefits of exercise without pressure to change their bodies.
Whether someone is returning to movement after years away, navigating body image challenges, or simply looking for a weight-neutral approach to fitness, I meet them where they are. Together, we build a movement practice that supports their life, honors their body, and leaves them feeling stronger, more capable, and more connected to themselves.
About Me & My Practice
I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Size Inclusive Fitness Specialist, Health at Every Size®-aligned fitness professional, and the founder of EveryBODY Moves with Erica. As someone living in a larger body, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate fitness spaces that assume every person is there to lose weight. That experience inspired me to create the kind of movement space I wish had existed for me - one where people are welcomed exactly as they are and exercise is about feeling better, not becoming smaller.
Since starting this business, I've worked through a weight-neutral, non-diet, eating disorder-informed lens, helping people rebuild trust with movement after years of shame, dieting, or feeling like they didn't belong. I intentionally create inclusive, adaptable sessions with options for different bodies, abilities, and energy levels. I continue to educate myself on Health at Every Size® principles and advocate for challenging weight stigma by offering an alternative to traditional fitness culture - one that centers autonomy, accessibility, respect, and joy rather than weight or appearance.
Outside of coaching, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband, two boys, and my dog, exploring nature, listening to music, or finding new ways to move that simply feel fun. I believe movement should add to your life, not take it over, and I love helping others discover what that can look like for them.
Accessibility Considerations
I offer only virtual services, 1:1 and group classes. We work with whatever equipment you have available to you. We can move from whatever position feels most accessible to you - seated, standing, from the floor. I will always ask you to gain your consent prior to doing anything new so we can figure out how to have movement fit you, and not the other way around. In a class setting, I demonstrate multiple options for moves as well.
