Why did we start this venture? Why do we feel like we need a different way to approach health? Why are we trying to change the way gyms, training, and rehab have always been done?
Easy: because we need to.
Between CasaVive's co-founders, Jacqueline and Yasmine, they have over 30 years of experience
in training and coaching in many different locations, with different demographics and environments. And in that experience, the same stories came up again, and again, and again:
"My doctor told me never to lift over 25lb, it's dangerous... but my child is almost 40lb, how can I stop carrying them?"
"I've have back pain, so I've been seeing my chiropractor regularly for several years. The pain is still there but they help temporarily."
"I tried going to the gym, but I got hurt and never started again"
"My doctor just told me to eat less to lose weight, but I haven't seen any progress, I just feel tired and hungry"
Our bodies are these amazing, capable, resilient, healing machines, and this is NOT how we get them to their potential. We love our clients, and it has been hard to consistently see so many people being knocked down by the systems that are supposed to lift them up and support them.
We know the effect and the outcomes that we can get from properly designed and targeted exercise programs, and nutrition counselling. We have seen the difference decreased pain and increased confidence in one's ability to move can have on quality of life. We've watched people gain understanding and take charge of their nutrition habits giving them back their energy and verve.
We needed a place where our clients could see these results, and we could provide the necessary guidance on our own terms. No navigating the traditional style of a big box gym, no waiting for one appointment here and another appointment there. One place, where holistic care can be provided to anyone who is open to it.
CasaVive, our house of life, is where our clients will be empowered and educated to take back their health and live their best lives.
