Hi! I'm Chandler :)
"Movement is Medicine" has been my motto for life since becoming a mom. Because motherhood is an endurance sport and we don't have time to waste this life exhausted and run down. Movement is meant to be enjoyed and when done right, it's freeing.
Once upon a time I struggled severely with body image and was chronically over trained and under fueled. I drove my body into the ground and nothing was ever good enough. I was constantly injured, but I was also winning races so I ignored the signs for way too long.
I've weighed every weight possible and even when I had rock hard abs and looked my "ideal weight" I still hated the body that I was in. Sound familiar?
When I was 17 years old I tore my acl, mcl, and meniscus. It put me on an initial path of destruction that involved under eating and an unhealthy obsession with training. I ended up having 3 knee surgeries, my hair started falling out, and I lost my period for 6 years.
I was motivated by my doctor at 18 years old that told me that I'd never be an athlete. And then again by my gynecologist at 24 years old that told me I'd never be able to have kids. Fast forward several years and I am now the most athletic that I've ever been and I'm also a mom. I'm an athlete mom.
Looking back, I'm grateful for all of these experiences. I know that if I can overcome years of body image trauma, under fueling, self sabotage, and chronic knee pain, that you too can still step into your best life. It's out there, waiting for you.
With over a decade of experience, several certifications, becoming an Active Life Professional, and thousands of hours working with other athletes just like you, I've created a step by step plan that guarantees results.
I Am So Glad You Are Here
We only have one life. Just one. But I believe that if you do it right, once is enough. I created Built Through Movement and the Athlete Mom Project as a way to connect with other athlete's who are on a mission to live their most athletic, capable, and adventurous life yet. These communities exist because it's what I wish I had when I had nowhere else to go. You are not meant to go through things alone and I believe that with the right community, mentorship, and support, you will find that you can truly be capable of anything you want.
