What can I expect from a session at MLD?

I’d describe sessions as fun, curious, and very informative. I don’t fuck around. I always try to take all the noise that clients get from their docs, chiros, PTs, whomever, and help them make sense of it all. We take time to really make sure they understand their pathology and why movement will/how help them. We bust out textbooks, bones and we really explore how their body moves. We always consider their past movement history and make sure to make the sessions fun. We tailor everything to their goals - even my cues. If someone golfs but has never danced, I don’t tell them to pretend to be a tall ballerina on stage. I *always* connect things back to them. Sessions typically include Pilates and/or the Gyrotonic Method, but we basically do whatever the person needs. I am known to make exercises up for my client to really help them figure out whatever we are working on. I will always then joke, we shall call this “the Ashley.” For me, my clients come first, “rules” of specific methods are viewed secondary. I am also incredibly analog. I take notes with a pen & paper and leave my phone at the front desk. I don’t wear any doohickeys pinging me with notifications so I can put my complete focus on my client. It’s 100% person to person connection which is so rare now-a-days. 👵🏼

My goal is to a) help my clients move their best without pain b) help them have fun while we’re at it.

Basically I’m Miss Frazzle of the movement world and my clients’ biggest advocate. 👊🏼💙
