I came to Hypoxix the way most good things come into my life — through AJ. We’ve been close friends for 17 years, and watching her build this method from the inside out, I knew it was something special long before I fully understood why.

I started working with the method in Fall 2021, two months before I got pregnant with my son. I trained through my entire pregnancy — at 32 weeks AJ had me in the band, moving with her and the online community, and honestly? It was uplifting. No pun intended. After Rowan was born, I kept going. I’ve lost 40 lbs postpartum, healed diastasis recti, and rebuilt my pelvic floor so completely that the engagement now happens involuntarily — my body just knows. My breath is trained in a way I never expected: I catch myself doing the exhale pattern on my morning runs without even thinking about it. At 46, I am the fittest, strongest, and most body-aware I have ever been in my life.

Teaching this method is both a privilege and a natural next step. I’m a filmmaker and storyteller by trade, but Hypoxix has given me a whole new language for what it means to truly live inside your own body.
