HI, I'M RAINE (they/she).
I'm an AuDHD personal trainer, farmer and engineering drop-out with a passion for all things movement and exercise.
I help queer and neurodivergent folx who haven't felt comfortable in traditional fitness and wellness spaces build confidence and trust in their bodies and create sustainable movement routines. My work is unapologetically anti-diet, neurodivergent-affirming, trans-inclusive and anti-capitalist.
My approach is kind, direct and non-prescriptive. I am a gentle yet excitable coach and firmly believe that exercise should be fun (at least most of the time). As a neurodivergent person myself, I value different approaches to and perspectives on health and wellness and am here to help my clients break out of the cycle of shame and overwhelm that can come with struggling to take care of ourselves in a world that isn't set up to support people like us.
I've struggled a lot over the years with body image, disordered eating and my relationship to exercise so I'm no stranger to how our relationship to movement can be complicated by intersections of identity, access to support and exposure to diet culture. Despite this, I truly believe that finding joy in movement and feeling safe and embodied in your own skin is one of the most worthwhile "fitness" goals out there. But that's not something you need to figure out all on your own.

fun facts & interests
My current favourite ways to move my body are working out at the gym, running through the forest, pole dancing, spinning, hiking (preferably long distances) and rock climbing. I'm an avid baker, huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan and experienced knitter. I spend my summers farming, primarily growing organic vegetables and occasionally flowers too. I delight in simple things like sunsets, frogs, sparkles and dairy-free ice cream. If you meet me over Zoom, you'll almost definitely meet my cat, Theo, who loves to be a part of my business whenever he can.
