ABOUT
Stacy Fisher- Movement Specialist
Stacy is a wellness coach, movement practitioner, and bodyworker. She holds degrees in Kinesiology- Exercise Science and Spanish, has 18 years of experience and 2 decades of ongoing study. She finds immense joy in problem solving the ever-evolving human form; in body, mind, and soul. Her initial career track to be a Physical Therapist felt too limiting, pushing her into a more holistic path of prevention, rehabilitation, and performance. Her work is informed by extensive training in a variety of progressive and researched modalities aimed at restoring health and improving vitality. Some include: Functional Fitness, MELT Method, Alignment Based Yoga, Breathwork, Yoga Nidra, Fascial Stretch Therapy, and Health Coaching.
Stacy’s multidisciplinary, flexible and teamwork style of coaching leads her clients to simultaneously listen to their intuition while being guided with an efficient and sustainable approach. Stacy offers private in-person and online instruction, on-demand programs, and retreats.
She resides in Panamá with her husband and two daughters. She enjoys surfing, morning workouts with girlfriends, beach bbqs of fresh tuna and pineapple, getting crushed in Memory Match Game by her eldest daughter and singing with her baby.
PHILOSOPHY
There is more health information and experts than ever before, leading us to outsource our intuition. I teach you how to simultaneously listen to your own voice, while guiding you using modalities that are efficient and sustainable. I teach you what actually works, how to maintain it for your entire life, and stick to it (without it feeling like work). I respect and incorporate your unique history, body, and life on your path to health and vitality.
I provide movement and coaching programs that are made for real people, with busy lives! With practice, these new behaviors become intrinsically motivated, and become an effortless part of your daily routines. I take into account your unique story, needs, and goals. You, after all, know your body and lifestyle best. I will be compassionate and hold you accountable to your wellness goals. I do not believe in scales, counting calories, food deprivation, or killing yourself on the elliptical. None of that works - if it worked, it would have worked by now! Instead, we work together using proven systems to help you identify your behavior patterns - not only with food and exercise, but also in relationships, sleep, stress, money - and how that affects your overall health and happiness. My ultimate goal is to “help you help yourself” so you feel younger with each passing year.
