Meet Gabby
Movin’ & feelin’ — likely at the same time
Hey pals, I’m Gabs
and I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you’re here and reading these words. The most important things you need to know about me are: nothing makes me happier than the warm sun on my skin and Moving outside, I love my people with every inch of my heart, I practice feeling the magic in the most mundane moments, and my life’s work is to support you in building your relationship with Movement.
For you to move your body in ways that support your nervous system, help you live the life you want to live through the practice of mindful movement, and create a practice rooted in sustainability, flexibility, and a deep appreciation for all your body can do.
I spent far too long stuck in a cycle of believing Movement had to look a certain way. I grew up playing competitive soccer, which allowed me to play at the collegiate level for four years. I completed a four-year degree in Kinesiology at Quest University Canada, and got to know and extensively learn about parts of the body that felt responsible for keeping me moving (muscles, joints, tissues, systems etc.). It always “worked” — until.. it didn’t.
When I finished my varsity career, I didn’t have a clue how to move my body on my own. After YEARS of being told what type, how long, and what intensity Movement looked like, I felt like I had little autonomy and flexibility in creating MY definition of Movement. I can tell you this though: if it was under an hour, it didn’t count AND if it didn’t leave me with an empty tank at the end, I wasn’t working hard enough and it didn’t “count”.
That’s something the fitness industry doesn’t talk about. YOU actually get to choose your own definition of Movement — it doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Everyone’s earth suit is so unique and deserves to be celebrated in a way that supports each person best.
That’s why Fuelled by Feeling exists — to support you build YOUR relationship with Movement and step so strongly into the power you have to choose how you Move your body. This relationship is timeless. Your start line is perfect and it’s always welcome here. I remember the first time I asked myself. “Do you even like doing this?”. It’s as if time stopped.. because, for me, it did. When I put the choice of how I moved my body back in my own hands, I was able to get curious around all the reasons I move, I was able to create a movement practice that supports my nervous system, and I was able to stop holding myself to standards and expectations I never set in the first place.
I hope Fuelled by Feeling is a space where you can always show up as you are, Move in ways that truly support your earth suit best, appreciate ALL your body can do, and create a practice by YOUR definitions. We’re always in your corner and it truly does mean the world you’re here.
