Exactly Why I Do This Job

I received a really wonderful email from an old client of mine the other day. We started training when her baby girl was about 3 months old and we continued until around her first birthday.

Like many sessions, the first few are almost like therapy. Forget about focusing on “working out”. This is an opportunity for moms to connect with another mom and use this hour as best as possible. The client asks alot of questions about motherhood, I answer to the best of my ability and just do alot of listening in general. It’s hard to determine how much is being absorbed or if my opinions make a difference at all as I am also a firm believer that every mom, especially a first timer, has to follow their gut and do what’s best for them.

But every once in awhile, I get a comment, email or phone call that warms my heart. It confirms what I have believed in my gut for such a long time, that I am providing a very much needed service to so many women who not only want to get back into shape, but need a non-biased shoulder to lean on.

Here’s what my client wrote:

“Hi Sam. It’s Nicole and I know it has been a while since you heard from me. It has been about a year since I first met you and we started our training. Anyway I am back in Jamaica now but I wanted to tell you “Thank You”, so much for not just the training that you gave me but the talks that we had, you will probably never know but you made a big difference in my postpatrum state. You are ome of the more honest Mum’s I know and I truly appreciate that. Thanks so much for that and of course helping me to get back into shape.

Miss u very much.

Take care

Nicole”
