Welcome! I’m Natasha, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re exploring Glow, it’s probably because you’re ready to take ownership of your self-care - and that’s already a powerful first step.

Here’s a bit about me. In my twenties, I faced intense neck pain from cervical arthritis. My doctor’s advice? Commit to PT, yoga, and resistance training. So, I did. Just after 6 months of taking regular classes, hoppin' all around town, I noticed my pain started to fade away! That gave me so much hope and, I went all in. To steady my progress and support others, I opened Glow and developed the Program, a foundation for strength, mobility, pain recovery, and mental clarity. Now in my forties, I’m living pain-free and have maintained a self-care practice every day for years, with sustainability at its core. 

Some days, it’s resistance training and power moves. On other days, it’s mobility, stretch, and recovery. This balance is the core of the Glow Program.

​

Our program is more than just workouts. It’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and a pathway to reclaim your energy,  strength, and peace. It’s designed to be as dynamic as you are - challenging when you need it, restorative when you’re drained. No fluff, no gimmicks, just intentional, effective movement that works.

My mission is to inspire you to take charge of your healing, in charge of your aging. I’m here to help you establish a daily self-care routine that’s achievable yet impactful, gentle yet powerful. In a world filled with anxiety, chronic pain, and quick-fix solutions, I believe in something lasting: showing up with love and doing the work. It’s not about perfection - it’s about progress. Every small move counts.

Holding a plank isn’t easy. But the muscle we gain doing it is an investment in our freedom. I’m not working out to look good for summer. I’m training for my 70s, 80s, and 90s, for steady balance, confident posture, and my independence.
And, don't judge my goals, but I really want to do headstands, cross-country ski, and paddleboard at 90!

That feels far more exciting than fitting into a black little dress.

Everything is possible - especially when we choose the long game, and a bit of luck, too.

An Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Vonda Wright, says: 

“Your skeletal muscle is literally a longevity factory: it churns out hormones, proteins, and many chemicals that protect our brain, heart and other organs. It helps keep our bones strong and manages our blood sugar and metabolic health. Skeletal muscle is a powerful shield against the time bombs of aging.”

Muscle is not cosmetic tissue. It is protective tissue.

When we contract muscle, it releases signaling molecules that support brain health, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and stimulate bone to stay dense. Bone itself functions as an endocrine organ, communicating with the pancreas and influencing metabolism. Together, muscle and bone form an ecosystem of strength, communication, and longevity.

​

I also believe in morning magic🔮, in claiming time for our well-being before the world hijacks our attention. Exercising in the morning generates the most sustainable energy that will fuel your day.  My coaching is focused on establishing a daily routine to stay on top of our fitness, improve our focus and wakefulness to savor what we have. Not only will you feel much stronger and mentally lighter, but you'll also have more energy in your day!

If you want to awaken your body, clear your mind, and feel stronger than ever, you're welcome. Your glow-up starts here.​
