    Create a body that's capable of more...

     

  •  

    I help curious people who are achy or stuck move better so they can be stronger, healthier, and take ages off the way they feel.

    - Is pain restricting your activities and you're seeking a root cause and sustainable solution?

     

    - Do you desire more vitality for life's events like pregnancy or aging and want confidence in how to do it?

     

    - Or are you a "mover" who's attracted to discovering deeper and broader connections to your body?

     

    We're generally familiar with counseling - diagnosing and changing behavior patterns to improve mental health.

    Movement therapy is 

    counseling for physical health.

     

    Callie helps people see the unhealthy movement patterns that lead to aches and pains, recurrent injury, and declining health. She teaches how to set boundaries, achieve better alignment, and integrate more nourishing patterns into daily life. Her clients become able to lead more expansive lives.

    The change is deep and fundamental; it becomes a lifelong journey rather than an “exercise program.”

     

    It is physical therapy for life.
     

    Changing the way we move is powerful:

     

    it revolutionizes our mindfulness, reduces our stress levels, and restructures the spaces we inhabit. It changes our cultural priorities and our impact on the planet.

     

    ...Welcome to the journey of lifestlye and movement reeducation.

  • Testimonials

    "Callie offers you a life journey to grow younger from the inside out. I am stronger, more flexible, and more balanced than at any time in the last 20 years."

    Callie Ritter and biomechanics has made an enormous positive impact on my life. Like most multi-sport athletes, I measured success based on victories, goals scored, time, reps and distance. That doesn't work so well as you age and time becomes precious. Instead of trying to find time for "workouts," I wanted to change my entire approach to health and exercise. Callie (a superb athlete, dancer, and teacher) broke down my posture, gait, and the range of motion in every part of my body. I have learned how to walk, stand, climb, exercise, and even breathe in a much more efficient manner. My metabolism has sped up (sessions are challenging), I sleep better, focus better, and am more confident and body aware. I move differently in every activity, from sitting at a computer, to hiking and raking leaves. My "workout" is just part of daily living. What I didn't expect, was the continuous intellectual challenge, and the joy of pushing the envelope on what your body can do...without a gym, diet, pain killers or other drugs, supplements or "procedures." Change your routine, improve your practice...and everything else.

    - Doug C, 65

    "My whole self feels so much more relaxed, supple and healthy and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

    Callie's been working with me for over a year now to help reduce the muscle tension that I get in my neck, back and shoulders. She is the only wellness professional I've ever come across who has treated me holistically, rather than just focusing on their one particular specialty and assuming that was the fix (and I've been treated by several different physical therapists and chiropractors). I’m constantly impressed by her creativity, persistence and insights as she helps me on my healing journey, figuring out what my stubborn body needs to help me become more healthy and flexible. She has helped me build in to my life new exercise routines and movement patterns that work for me and that have made an enormous difference. Above all, the joy, enthusiasm and fun that she brings to our sessions, along with the hard work, that make it a real pleasure to be trained by her.

    - Peter S, 56

    "I was able to have a healthy pregnancy without back pain, something I didn’t think was possible until I met her!"

    Callie gave me a part of my life back that I thought was lost forever. I battled debilitating low back pain for about eight years prior to meeting her. I developed extreme anxiety from not knowing what caused my pain, and being told that exercises I used to do, might be causing my spasms. I was afraid to bend over and limited myself on daily activities. Callie helped me understand the mind body connection between pain, and we gently confronted my fear of movement. She helped me understand that my body can move and should move! That it feels better when I move! She is easy to talk to and really listens to what you're saying so she can understand how your body's acting and address the root of your problems. I have my life and personality back! I feel confident and am no longer afraid. I have been able to take care of my son and move and play with him without worry, thanks to Callie!

    - Jenny B, 36

    "She is the wealth of knowledge that I have been searching for, and I appreciate her passion and how much she puts into all of my sessions."

    Working with Callie has given me the knowledge and empowerment to realign my body, and to rid myself of pain through proper movement and stretching. She has changed the way that I view fitness. Her philosophy integrates corrective movements into all parts of my day, as well as connecting and listening to my body’s needs and intuitions. Every session leaves me wanting to know more.

    - Camille T, 33

    "Strangely the class felt very futuristic...like if we were in a class happening 150 years from now and we have finally cracked the code on the human body."

    Callie’s deep knowledge and experience with an ancient discipline (yoga), coupled with a keen understanding of modern biomechanics results in a class that feels fresh and futuristic.

    - David B

    "Callie is truly gifted."

    She invites us, through words and modeling and wisdom, to embrace a new body/mind awareness. One leaves her class refreshed and more whole.

    - Jane D, 75

    "Callie’s patience, kindness, and knowledge about body movement and health provide a personal and motivating approach to improve body as well as mind wellness."

    The passionate teaching style she incorporates into each private session has made a true impact on my motivation to incorporate movement into my daily life and stay active.

    Bio/Philosophy:

     

    When your body feels good, you don't notice it. You don't notice your knees when you hike, your back after a long day, and you get off the ground without a grunt. My body used to hurt. I exercised with the idea that being healthy meant measuring up to performance goals. I looked strong, but I ached, even though I did lots of cross training and yoga. I was also fighting major depression, anovulatory cycles, adrenal fatique and had no idea how to regulate my energetic gas tank. I was addicted to exercise-induced adrenaline and had no healthy way to deal with my emotions. Someone can be very active, look incredily fit, and also be extremely stuck and sedentary in certain parts of their body and mind without knowing it. That was me and just as prone to injury and disease as a "non-active" person was.

     

    I came to learn that exercise is different than movement and how to fundamentally change my alignment.

     

    I'm a mom to an almost-two year old (carried in the womb easily & born without intervention). I'm busy and don't spend time at the gym, but I continue to grow more strong, flexible, and injury free as I age, as opposed to the other way around. I know how to put life-enhancing movements inside my daily life.

     

    My embodied understanding of the interplay between alignment, geometry, physics and anatomy came from spending thousands of hours in the studio. I have over twenty years of professional training in movement and dance reinforced by my degree, collected certifications and continuing educations. I "walk the walk" of a supple, capable body, and constantly learn more about it by studying the living world. I understand scoliosis by looking at the way a tree grows around a boundary and I see a story of blood dynamics in the erosion of riverbanks.

     

    We are not separate from the world. Our body is extensively and unfathomably interdependent, in relation to itself and the environment around it. My quest is to the edge of what's possible in my body, mind, and spirit, and offer what I learn along the way.

     

    I hope you'll join me!
