CHEK Practitioner | Integrative Movement Specialist | Holistic Lifestyle Coach I grew up as an athletic kid who was always injured, bouncing between physical therapists, feeling frustrated that no one could explain the root cause. Everything changed when I completed my YogaWorks 200hr training in 2017, which taught me how breath, proper muscle activation, and nervous system regulation shape the way we move and work through the growing pains of life in a healthier way. That foundation deepened during my four years ski instructing in Keystone, CO, where I analyzed hundreds of bodies and learned how to teach movement with clarity, safety, and intuition. In 2020, I became a NASM Personal Trainer, but I knew I needed something more comprehensive. That’s when I found Paul Chek and the CHEK Institute. For the past three years I’ve been immersed in corrective exercise, functional movement, holistic lifestyle coaching, somatic work, and emotional-root-cause healing. I’m currently awaiting my HLC Level 3 certification and completing Integrative Movement Science Level 3 February 2026. My mission is simple: Help you feel strong, balanced, and pain-free so you can live the life you love. From chasing the kids to playing adult soccer or pickleball, I believe your injuries are feedback, not failures: invitations to listen, unlearn, and rebuild with intention. Whether your dream is to eliminate pain, prepare for pregnancy, return to play, or reconnect to your body, I blend science, intuition, and integrative health medicine principles to guide you back to natural movement and true vitality.Show More

Ayurveda

Sage Ardas is a holistic healer, advanced health coach, and energy worker offering a deeply integrative approach to wellness. Her work weaves together reflexology, cupping, and energetic alignment to elevate, balance, and harmonize the body’s natural frequencies. Drawn to family and community wellness, Sage began as a postpartum doula before earning her Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Oakland, CA. Her studies and travels through China and her exploration of herbalism, Ayurveda, homeopathy, Kundalini Yoga and Tibetan medicine deepened her understanding of the universal principles of healing and guided her back to her ancestral lineage of healers. In her years practicing in a bustling downtown clinic, Sage discovered her passion for reproductive health, fertility, and wellbeing. Her master’s thesis focused on a healing protocol for PTSD, inspired by personal loss and her desire to support veterans, mental health and trauma survivors. After a long, difficult birth left her with mobility challenges, Sage’s own healing journey took on new depth. Through a blend of physical rehabilitation, energetic medicine, and ancestral guidance, she reclaimed her strength and purpose. Now a devoted mother of two, Sage’s work centers on optimizing the body’s natural cycles, awareness and understanding hormones, honoring postpartum recovery, and empowering others to reconnect with their innate rhythm of healing and finds deep fulfillment in supporting her community.Show More

Massage Therapy

Born and raised in Truckee, CA into a multicultural household, I have always been fond of travel and culture. After experiencing a traumatic car accident, I was left with injuries, chronic pain and PTSD. I was forced to prioritize my body’s needs, finding Hatha and Aerial Yoga training. This led me to Reiki training in Brazil and the U.S., and attaining Master level profoundly impacted my own physical and emotional healing process. Influenced by my physical therapist, I found Fascia Therapy - the Danis Bois Method (France), my passion, which led to my career in manual bodywork/ massage therapy. I fell in love with the lymphatic system and completed training at Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, CA and through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), as well as the AMESARO (Mexico) - Associación Mexicana de Sanación con Rosas in Rose Therapy/ Healing. Sometimes our greatest challenges can become our most important teachers and opportunities for growth and learning.Show More
