TESTIMONIALS
“Robin is the definition of a leader. She is a natural leader. I truly admire the work ethic, tenacity and strength she used to build the GBF community through movement and wellness initiatives. She does everything with such love, integrity and a willingness to do good. She puts real actions behind her words and is consistent in confronting oppression in its many forms. She works tirelessly give a voice to so many time and time again.
Enrolling in the GBFTT program was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. It has been such an integral part of my personal emotional development. I am forever grateful in how Robin used the wealth of her knowledge and resources to open door for me to begin my journey as a movement instructor. The GBFTT program is far more than just learning the moves and sequences, it is about teaching from an empowered sense of self. I have learned so much from her and continue to learn from her example.”

"I could write a novel on all the ways Robin's brilliant leadership has impacted my personal life as well as our community. In the spirit of concise clarity, I will summarize in 4ish words: Generously Committed to Growth."

“Coaching with Robin was a unique experience that is really difficult to put into words. Robin is magically sensitive and bold at the same time. I found those qualities radically helpful when you are coming to sort shit out. I knew I needed some help but I didn't have high expectations (I mainly had self-doubts). Something in Robin's ability to listen or to make room for you, allowed me to bloom in a way I didn't even imagine I could in such a short period of time. From the very first session something clicked and I knew that she was the right person for me to go through this journey of evolving from a cocoon into a butterfly. I felt like I was a tightrope walker and Robin was the invisible force holding my hand to help me to get to the other side. And when I reached that side (almost every session!) oh jeez I was beaming with pride, empowerment, and confidence! To see what I have accomplished, how I moved forward one more step, how I turned the the dial one notch up is an orgasmic feeling.
Robin not only allows but encourages you to feel feelings from the full spectrum. Life is not only smiling and you shouldn't strive to be happy all the time. Your experience will be richer if you allow yourself to be in all the feelings.
If that's not enough, one of the amazing things that I found is not only did I achieve huge progress within 6 months of coaching, the more beautiful part is that I got my own tools for self coaching and overcoming roadblocks all by myself. Having this tool box allows me to keep growing as a person and keep developing myself, no longer being held back by the Gremlins in my head or by my self doubt.
Having Robin in my life is one of those rare gems life throws at you. One of those very few situations that you'll never forget and you will always know how this intersection was a game-changer.”

“I went into my coaching session with Robin unsure of what to expect, but pictured having a sounding board to figure out my own direction from. In a way I got that, but beyond what I knew I was looking for Robin was able to hear me better than I heard myself. In doing so, she provided me with useful tools that I was able to implement immediately. Robin has the gift of really listening to what's being said beyond the surface of a conversation, and it's truly an invaluable resource and testament to her innate coaching abilities matched with immense experience. If you're in need of direction, feeling stuck, or are looking for accountability and support, I would HIGHLY recommend working with her!”
Michelle Cordiero, GBFTT Alumni 2018 and Intuitive Eating Counselor and Nutritionist
“Working with Robin has opened my eyes to a form of self-inquiry I'd never encountered before. With her help, I've gained more clarity around what's truly important to me. Robin has that incredible ability to hold up a mirror and show me the things I most need to see and acknowledge. During each session together we navigate some unexpected but illuminating turns, equipping me with the outlook and toolkit needed to move forward in a more embodied and empowered way.”
Cecily Milne, Creator of Yoga Detour
“My somatic work with Robin was pretty surreal. It was virtual which in a way deepened the experience. I was at home in my space working through, at times, some heavy shit. I could be on my bed or in a comfortable chair meditating, being guided through my body and mind with gentle prompts to reach a new place. I always felt that I was in / coming from a new place after our sessions. Rewriting the story. Becoming unstuck or at least becoming aware of my stuckness and given tools and homework to work with myself for the next weeks. I drastically shifted my ideas about self and my creative work in our time together. I carry these new and kind ideas about myself to this day.”
Maya Lynn, Bed Peace Intimates, GBFTT 2020
Robin's one-on-one coaching has really helped me get clear on my vision and reasons for joining the GBFTT. I found incredible value in her approach to really take this personal time to connect with each TT and tailor her guidance. I wasn't quite sure what to expect in the coaching but Robin's guidance, honesty and clarity were super helpful. Not only is she the most organised person I have ever met, Robin's compassion and genuine interest in each of her TT's is incredibly admirable.

“I’ve been a part of Robin’s community for a few years now. At the time that I found her, I was on a self discovery journey if my own, searching for my true self amidst the expectations I take on of everyone around me. In so many ways I had grown into something I could barely recognize anymore juggling a career (plus a side hustle), trying to be a great mom, as well as a solid partner, daughter, friend, neighbour (the list goes on)... The weight of it all was suffocating. I found myself running to GOODBODYFEEL to find the space to breathe, and listen to Robin, including my own thoughts or reactions. I decided to embark on in the Teacher Training program, not because I wanted to be a teacher, I don’t know if I even had a why... all I knew was that I wanted MORE of that feeling... MORE ROBIN. To say that Robin’s participation in my growth and expanding perspective on life has had an impact is an absolute understatement. The GBFTT surprised me around every corner; I laughed, connected, explored so many emotions, and learned more than I could have imagined about myself. I walked away more community minded, more aware of and protective of my own needs, and above all, Robin taught me (and continues to remind me) of the value of my voice and my impact as a leader, this I carry with me every day. For these and so many more reasons, I will be forever grateful.“

“Robin's individual coaching sessions are such lovely, empowering, and directional joy to be led through. She really listens to what you say and guides you through your own best version of your self development. It's a conversation but also an unraveling in the direction that you want to move towards. I look forward to working with Robin in the future and highly encourage all that have the opportunity to at LEAST take one of her classes. She will truly change the world, one good body at a time.”
Risa Maldonado, GBFTT2020
“Before our training had even started, I was already impressed at how well it had been curated. The attention to detail, and care in putting together; the perfect manual, available tools, and guest teachers/instructors was quickly noticed. However, I didn't see the depth in which Robin invests into each student until my first private coaching session. It really is the next evolution in directional coaching in a personal development mentorship. The GOODBODYFEEL Movement Method is also uniquely & creatively inclusive in its teaching availability and instructing opportunities. Any inclusive positive movement instructor should strongly consider having this training on their resume. The movement methods are rooted in structure, built with strength, and enforced with creative intuition. I look forward to every movement class because I know I'm going to leave feeling amazing no matter what we do. If you feel stuck and stagnant, but also notice a deep fire that builds. If you feel a discomfort that you can't put your finger on, that is calling you to pull up, that is telling you your time is now, to step into your power- let this mentorship be for you and lean in.”
