You are NOT lazy – you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying a mental load no one sees….
You know you need to move more, need to be more active, but long walks and hour-long workouts feel impossible right now. Maybe you’ve even tried to push through and ended up more sore, more discouraged, and more stuck.
If you want to feel good in your body again, to move without pain and also without fear, shame or the pressure to “go hard or go home”, Walking to Wellness will meet you where you are, honour what you’ve been through, and help you move forward – one compassionate, doable step at a time. Next session starts soon.
