  • Mika helps clients build strength, confidence, and independence at every stage of life. Her approach focuses on making movement feel safe, purposeful, and enjoyable while developing the strength and mobility needed for everyday life. Rather than training around age, she meets each client where they are and helps them discover what their body is still capable of.

  • Mika supports women through the changing demands of pregnancy and postpartum with thoughtful, adaptable movement. Training is centered on building strength, maintaining connection with the body, and gradually rebuilding confidence as the body changes.

The goal is to develop trust in the body and create a foundation they can carry with them for years.

    Intermediate: For clients with some training experience, Mika helps turn movement into more intentional practice. She builds structured programs around their goals while encouraging them to understand their progress, listen to their bodies, and develop greater confidence in their abilities.

  • "As a healthcare practitioner who specifically works with women myself, Mika also gets the importance of understanding the “why” and the “why now” of each of the women she works with."

    “And she’s willing to adjust her work with you when doing so will serve you and your goals better. After a few years of building strength, but still feeling no joy in exercise, Mika nudged me to consider changing our workouts to include dance and choreography when she learned they make me joyful. And workouts are now fun and exciting, while also maintaining all the same goals that we had before. When my kid occasionally pops in and makes a visit to our video conference session, Mika is always pleasant and patient and kind. I can’t cheer about Mika enough, even though I don’t want to! If you’re unsure, or on the fence - and you’re a woman who has been needing something different for yourself and your body, something to help you move and feel differently in your own skin - consider booking a consult with Mika and exploring how your work With Mika can meet you there.” - Easter Y
