Feel At Home In Your Body

Embodied healing from trauma and chronic stress.

 

When you get coaching or go to therapy, you learn how to THINK about things differently. You learn to restructure unhelpful thought patterns in your mind. But, embodied healing helps you FEEL better because you learn how to restructure and release the physiological impact that trauma and stress have on the body.

Embodied healing is about cultivating a sense of safety and security in your mind and body. Embodied healing helps you come back into yourself and feel at home in your body.

Over 6 months, you'll lean on me for support and guidance through your healing journey using various forms of movement to release emotions and connect deeper with yourself. This is how I facilitate complete and holistic healing and life transformation for my clients.

Truly, the timing is perfect. You don't need to feel ready; you just need to want it and be willing.
This is your official invitation to learn more about Feel at Home in Your Body.

Your Feel At Home Coach

Hi, I’m Milana!

Professional fitness, nutrition, & mindset coach and owner of More Than Fitness, I’ll be your virtual PT during Couch To Consistent.

This challenge is a fitness revolution. All it takes is 28 days to achieve consistency with your health. It’s not about counting calories, or the toxic shaming culture if you don’t work out daily, but making sure you feel the joy that comes from moving your body. 

Fitness has the power to transform your entire life, not just your body!

I LOVE making my workouts unique (hello, mashed potato mountain climbers!) because all my clients deserve a simple, effective and fun solution to fitness. This challenge is for everybody, no matter your fitness level - you'll always grow at your perfect pace!

What are you willing to do?

 
 

What are you willing to stop doing?

It can be so exhausting living in a state of chronic stress.

The constant working to get everything done that somehow it *never* ends.

The persistent worrying about ‘what will happen if…?’

Trying your hardest to take up as little space as you possibly can by not speaking up, saying yes to things you know you don’t have the time or energy for - or just downright do not want to do.

It’s overwhelming. It’s stressful. It's unnecessary.

In Feel at Home in Your Body, you'll:

  • learn how to regulate your nervous system to get out of that constant state of chronic stress.

  • uncover your truest, most authentic self - you know.. the you who felt free to live, laugh, play, and be before all the stress and "rules" of who and how to be dropped on top of you like a ton of bricks.

  • reconnect with the self-trust you lost under those bricks.

  • finally receive what you've been searching for from therapy and all the self-help books you've been reading.

Are you willing to try doing things differently?

KIND WORDS

 
Testimonials For Slider
- Anna W.

"I want you to know how grateful I am for this space. It's a soul, body and mind space where I don't have to shame myself for all the things I do wrong, because I get to celebrate all the things I do right. And there are so many more things I am doing right these last months with you in my corner. I had bad months and ok months and great months and my practice in this group changed depending on it, but I never felt less or outside. I knew I was part of this revolution and it doesn’t have to be perfect. It is a revelation that fitness does not mean 200% all the time. As long as I keep going, it can be one workout a week or seven. The further we progress the more I crave the workouts and the more the nutritional practices are part of my daily life and not a chore. It doesn't have to be hard all the time for it to be effective.”

"Go for it!" That is the mantra I go by these days, why you ask? I started the Couch to Consistent program with Milana in Jan 2021; I thought this was going to be just a workout class to get me back on track with my health and fitness regimen, but this was different. Milana brings a level of energy and connects with the people that she works with. This is more than just a workout.

I was skeptical that the workouts would be too hard and that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with it, but Milana carefully orchestrates the class to accommodate someone that is new and just starting their fitness journey to making to it challenging for someone that is pretty fit and help them get the most out of the workouts.

I am able to function better on a daily basis with more energy, better mood and high spirits. I am able to keep up with my kids and accomplish more throughout the day, which I could not do before.

My biggest breakthrough is that I'm motivated and I WANT to workout! Milana has been able to instill consistency with me which is key in maintaining good health be it with nutrition and exercise."

- Charlotte A.

"Milana got me moving. I am a very busy mom and was just having no luck setting time aside to be active. She listened to me, heard what I had going on and came back with a solution. I loved to be able to move, and the next thing I know, I'm getting in at least three hour long sessions of movement a week. These sessions might be on the continued program with Milana, or a walk in the park, or even just putting on my favorite jams and dancing my ass off. Because she found a hole in my busy schedule and got me moving, I fell in love with moving again."

- Mirjam D. 

This is a fitness program, but it also isn’t. Yes, we move, yes, we do squats, burpees and stuff like that. But the reason why I feel like moving my body is because Milana makes me feel like moving my body isn’t a chore, and most importantly, I can trust my body to support me to do all these movements. And while teaching us how to trust our bodies, she also teaches us how to trust ourselves in other ways. To trust myself to make good nutritional choices (not always, but to make those consciously), to trust to choose myself in other areas in life too. If I can take care of my body, I can also take care of being a leader. If I can take care of my body, I can also choose to take rest when I need it. I can choose to infuse fun in daily activities for myself and my family. It is amazing how much all these areas are related and I am so glad that Milana connects all of them in the program.

 
 
 
 

When we first begin, one of my clients' greatest struggles is trying to force their process to look a certain way.

They believe they MUST follow the "rules" they read in a book, heard on a podcast, read in some Instagram post.

Rules that weren't created with THEIR lives and lived experiences in mind.

They try to follow rules that weren't made for them and simply don't work for them.

Naturally, they are not successful when trying to follow someone else's path.

My invitation to them is the same to you: stop trying to win YOUR game by playing by somebody else's rules.

You'll learn to do this and more for yourself in my 6-month program, Feel at Home in Your Body.

You'll create a deeply connected relationship with yourself - one you may have never believed to be possible for you.

You'll learn to listen to and hear the messages your body is giving you.
